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

EN 11

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.

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).

During Auto Clock Set

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).

● “DISC RESUME” setting works on DVD VIDEO, VCD, SVCD and already finalized DVD-R/DVD-RW (video mode) discs. For other types of discs, the function under “ON” setting will be applied even if “RESUME” is set to “DISC RESUME”. (墌 pg. 82)

● If you stop the playback of a disc for which a resume point has already been memorized, the memory will be updated with the new resume point.

● After the unit has memorized the resume points for 30 discs, 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 TV Sound broadcast. To record a SAP program received, set “2ND AUDIO RECORD” to “ON”. (墌 pg. 82)

It is a collection of the scenes. A play list can be freely edited and played back without ever changing any original recording data. Using the random access of a disc (which allows video data to be instantly read no matter where it is on the disc), a play list includes information such as the timer counter for the playback start point and end point, indexes for checking the contents of recorded data, category information, and more. Playback according to a play list you have created allows you to enjoy various combinations of video images from a single title.
