File Structure of Discs

DVD VIDEO

Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called “titles.” Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called “chapters.” Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that can also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs are not divided into titles and chapters.

Title1 Title2

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 1Chapter 3

Chapter 2

Audio CD/Video CD

Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video CD discs.

Track 1 Track 4Track 3Track 2

NOTE:

Video CD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)

The still image or motion image which follows a menu screen is called a “scene.” Each scene has a scene number. For more details, refer to “Locating a Desired Scene Using the Menu of a Video CD/SVCD with Playback Control (PBC) Function” (

墌 pg. 31).

Placing a Disc

1 Open the disc tray.

Press x on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.

● The unit’s power comes on automatically.

● Do not block the disc tray with your hand while it is opening or closing as this may result in hardware failure.

● Do not place unplayable discs or any object other than a disc in the disc tray.

● Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy objects on it.

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 adhesive on its surface.

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!

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center 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 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.

2 Place the disc.

Place the disc in 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.

3 Press x on the DVD deck to close the disc tray.

● Pressing 4 also closes the disc tray.

● Playback begins automatically if an auto-playback DVD disc is

loaded. Although the VHS deck is selected, the DVD deck is selected automatically (except when the VHS deck is in the timer mode or the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode.)

Receiving Stereo and Bilingual Programmes

Your unit is equipped with a Sound-Multiplex decoder (A2) and a Digital stereo sound decoder (NICAM) making reception of stereo and bilingual broadcasts possible. When the channel is changed, the type of broadcast being received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.

Type of broadcast being received

A2 Stereo A2 Bilingual Regular Monaural NICAM Stereo NICAM Bilingual NICAM Monaural

● To listen to a stereo programme, press A.MONITOR until “HIFI L jhR” appears on the TV screen.

● To listen to the standard (Regular Monaural) audio while receiving a NICAM broadcast, press A.MONITOR until “NORM” appears on the TV screen.

NOTE:

“O.S.D.” must be set to “ON,” or the on-screen displays will not appear. (

墌 pg. 53)

To Record Stereo and Bilingual Programmes (A2)

Stereo programmes are automatically recorded in stereo on the Hi-Fi audio track (with the normal audio track recording mixed L and R channel sound).

● Bilingual programmes are automatically recorded in bilingual on the Hi-Fi audio track. The main soundtrack will be recorded on the normal audio track.

To Record NICAM Stereo and Bilingual Programmes

The NICAM audio programme will be recorded on the Hi-Fi audio track, and the standard audio programme will be recorded on the normal audio track.

NOTES:

● If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the broadcast will be received in monaural with better quality.

● Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a bilingual programme, refer to “Soundtrack Selection” on page 20.

VPS/PDC Recording

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are service designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording. With this system, special code signals are transmitted together with the audio/video signals. These code signals control your unit and have precedence over the advertised times you may have preset into the timer. This means that your unit will start and stop recording when the preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed.

NOTES:

● When you use Express Timer Programming, set the start time (VPS or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised will result in no recording.

● VPS/PDC recording is also possible when a satellite receiver or a cable system is connected to L-2 IN/ DECODER connector on your unit.

● VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the L-1 IN/OUT connector.

How to check if the station being received transmits a VPS/PDC signal

A Press ––:–– until the channel position appears on the

front display panel.

B Hold down START + for about 5 seconds.

“VPS/PDC” appears blinking on the TV screen. If a VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station, “VPS/PDC” will stop blinking. If no VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station, “VPS/PDC” will blink at a slower rate.
