Dolby Digital mark
It has been developed by Dolby Laboratories as
a digital surround system.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
You can enjoy DTS audio if you connect an
amplifier with a built-in DTS decoder to the
DIGITAL OUT connector of the unit.
Disc tray
Place the disc on the disc tray with the label side facing up. Since
disc size changes depending on the disc to be played back, be
sure to correctly align the disc with the grooves for its size. If the
disc is not in its groove, it may be scratched or otherwise
damaged. To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner
groove.
DVD-RAM discs contained in cartridges
Double-sided discs:
Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves
on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the side
you wish to play back or record facing down. If you insert the disc
with “Side A” facing down, programs are recorded on the side A.
Single-sided discs:
Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves
on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the label
side facing up.
Care And Handling Of Discs
How to handle discs
When handling a disc, do not
touch the surface of the disc.
Since discs are made of
plastic, they are easily
damaged. If a disc gets dirty,
dusty, scratched or warped, the
images and sound will not be
picked up correctly, and such a
disc may cause the unit to malfunction.
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesives
on its surface.
Recording side
Make sure that discs are not scratched and dirty on the recording
side before use. Scratches and dirt on the recording side of a disc
may hinder proper playback and recording. Also be careful that a
DVD-RAM disc may get scratched or dirt when removed from
cartridge then put back in after use.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on
top of one another without their protective cases, they can be
damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be
exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or
temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!
DISC INFORMATION
EN11
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering
to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving
from the centre outwards.
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth
moistened with water. Never use record
cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static
agents.
CAUTION:
Sometimes during playback, noise may appear or images may
be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up
to industry standards.)
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the
malfunction of the unit.

INITIAL SETTINGS
Plug & Play Set
Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set
This unit sets the clock and tuner channels automatically when AC
power cord is first connected to an AC outlet. The antenna cable
must be connected for the Plug & Play setting.
The time and date can be set automatically by the clock setting
data transmitted from one of the regular TV broadcast channels.
We call this TV channel the “host channel” and it is a PBS channel
in your area.
TTENTION:
● If you use a cable box, Plug&Play will not function; set the clock
and tuner channels separately. (墌 pg. 22 – 23)
● Depending on areas or reception conditions, the unit may not
receive the Auto clock setting data from the PBS channel. If this
function is taking a considerable amount of time, it may be
necessary to perform the Semiauto or Manual Clock Set
procedure.
1 Connect the antenna cable to the unit. (墌 pg. 19) Then connect
the AC power cord to an AC outlet. Do not turn on the unit.
The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically.
● “LOADING” blinks on the front display panel when the AC plug of the
AC power cord is connected into an AC outlet and it takes
approximately 50 seconds for the unit to be turned on. This is not a
malfunction.
NOTES:
● Auto Clock Set is performed first.
“AUTO” blinks on the front display panel during Auto Clock Set.
● Auto Channel Set is performed next. Auto Channel Set scans all the
channels that are receivable by your unit. During Auto Channel Set,
the channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.
● When Plug & Play setting has been completed successfully, the
correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play setting
successfully, there is no need to perform “Clock Set” (墌 pg. 22) and
“Tuner Set” (墌 pg. 23). If, however, you want to add or delete
channels, refer to “Manual Channel Set” (墌 pg. 23).

INFORMATION
● If “AUTO CLOCK” is set to “ON” (墌 pg. 22), the clock will be
adjusted automatically by the host channel every hour (except
11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) using the incoming
PBS channel clock setting data. (This automatic clock adjustment
can only be performed when the unit is turned off. The clock will be
adjusted just on these hours — on the time displayed on the front
display panel, not on the actual real time.) The default setting of
“AUTO CLOCK” is “ON”. (墌 pg. 22)
● If the memory backup fails, because a power outage occurs or
because the AC power cord is unplugged, Plug & Play will be
performed when power is restored to the unit.
What to do if Plug & Play setting failed
● If an incorrect time is displayed on the front display panel, you may
be receiving the clock setting data of a PBS channel from an
adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS channel from a cable TV
system. In this case, perform “Semiauto Clock Set” (墌 pg. 22) or
“Manual Clock Set” (
墌 pg. 22).
● If “– –:– –” appears on the front display panel, your antenna cable
may not be connected to the unit or there may not be a Host PBS
signal available in your area. Ensure that the antenna cable is
connected correctly. Then turn on and off the unit; the Plug & Play
setting will be automatically reactivated. If Plug & Play setting is
not performed though the antenna cable is connected correctly,
perform “Manual Clock Set” (
墌 pg. 22) and “Auto Channel Set”
(墌 pg. 23) or “Manual Channel Set” (墌 pg. 23).
During Auto Channel Set
The channel numbers are displayed and “AUTO” blinks as they
are scanned and set.
Plug&Play Completed
The current time is displayed.
● If an incorrect clock time or “– –:– –” appears on the front display
panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed” (墌 pg. 20).

remembering a new resume point will cause the unit to delete the
oldest memorized point. Stopping playback of a disc for which a
resume point is already stored may change the order in which the
points are stored. This may potentially change the order in which
points are deleted.
● When the unit memorizes a resume point for a disc, it also
remembers audio language, subtitle and angle settings.
● This function may not work for some Video CD/SVCDs.
● When “RESUME” is changed to “ON” or “OFF” (墌 pg. 82), resume
points of the discs memorized with “RESUME” set to “DISC
RESUME” will be cleared.
● Resume points are memorized for each side of a double-sided disc.
● When you switch to HDD during CD playback, playback stops. The
Resume Function doesn’t work when you switch to DVD thereafter to
playback the disc.
Marking Positions To Play Back Again Later
It is possible to mark positions (up to 999 points) where you want
to play back once again later, and start playback from a marked
position. Marking onto DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode only) discs when
recording is helpful to locate a start point when you play back the
discs later.
To mark positions:
During playback, press MARK at
positions you want to mark.
● “MARK” appears on the TV screen.
You can easily locate the marked
positions using 2 or 6 when you
play back the disc.
To delete the marked positions:
While paused, press 2 or 6 to
locate a marked position you want to
delete, then press MARK.
● Crossed “MARK” appears on the TV
screen, and the marked position is
deleted.
NOTES:
● When a monaural program changes to a stereo program while
recording, a mark signal is automatically recorded.
● Titles will be divided into “chapters” at the marked points according to
the disc types as follows:
DVD-R/RW (Video mode): After finalizing, titles are divided into
“chapters” at the marked points that are marked automatically
approximately every 5 minutes during recording before finalizing.
墌 pg. 88)
(
DVD-RW (VR mode): After finalizing, titles are divided into “chapters”
at the marked points that are marked at the desired locations during
playback before finalizing. (
DVD-RAM: Titles are divided into “chapters” at the marked points that
are marked at the desired locations during playback.
DVD VIDEO: Creating of marked points are not permitted.

NOTES:
● You can program this unit to timer-record, regardless of the disc
remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not enough, the unit
performs “Relief Recording” (墌 pg. 57). To avoid this, make sure of
the disc remaining time before setting timer programming.
(Example) If you programmed to timer-record for 60 minutes in SP
mode on a 120-minute disc, the disc remaining time would be 30
minutes in XP mode, 60 minutes in SP mode, 120 minutes in LP
mode, 180 minutes in EP mode, and 240 minutes in FR480 mode.
Timer-recording will not complete beyond these remaining times.
● The maximum recording time of FR (JUST) mode is the same as the
recording time of FR480 mode. When timer programming a long
program in FR (JUST) mode on a disc whose remaining time is short,
it is recommended to check the disc remaining time in FR480 mode
to see if the remaining time is enough for the program.
● Even if more than one program are timer programmed in FR (JUST)
mode, only the first one is recorded.
● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the disc, this feature may
leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of the disc.
● There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the
disc where the unit switches the mode.
Second Audio Recording
This unit’s built-in MTS decoder enables reception of Multichannel
