DISC INFORMATION (cont.)

DVD VIDEO Marks

Sometimes marks are printed on a DVD disc and/or on its packaging to indicate information regarding the contents and functions of a disc. Check marks indicating the contents and functions of a disc. Note, however, that in some cases a disc may not include a mark even for a function it supports.

Marks related to video

Mark Description

Number of subtitles

Number of angles

Recorded under the standard 4:3 aspect ratio

Screen includes black bands at top and bottom of image which has a standard 4:3 aspect ratio (letter box)

Video playback is in Wide video mode (16:9) on wide televisions, but in letter box on televisions with standard 4:3 aspect ratio.

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.

Title 1 Title 2

Chapter 1 Chapter 2Chapter 1Chapter 3Chapter 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 the Video CD with PBC” (

墌

pg. 41).

Video playback is in Wide video mode (16:9) on wide televisions, but pan and scan is used on televisions with standard 4:3 aspect ratio (either the left or right side of the image is cut-out).

Marks related to audio

Mark Description

Number of audio tracks

Dolby Digital mark Dolby Laboratories has developed a digital surround system for the home. This mark indicates that you may enjoy 5.1channel audio (front left and right, center, rear left and right, and a channel for LFE (Low-Frequency Effects)).

DTS (Digital Theater System) The DTS decoder on this unit enables you to enjoy DTS audio with the connected TV’s speakers by converting 5.1 channel audio signals into 2 channel signals (DTS Down Mixing). The decoder also outputs the original DTS 5.1 channel audio signals from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector on this unit.

Placing a Disc

Open the disc tray.

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

●

Pressing the button again closes the disc tray.

●

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.

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.

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.

The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is in progress. (

●

In the case of timer recordings, the B.E.S.T. system works before recording is initiated.

●

Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is cancelled. The next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is reperformed.

●

Pressing the unit’s 7 button while “bESt” is displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording. (

ATTENTION

Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after 7 and 4 on the remote control are pressed, or 7 on the unit is pressed. To make sure you record the desired scene or programme in its entirety, first perform the following steps:

Press and hold 9 and press 7 to engage the Record Pause

mode.

●

The unit then automatically checks the condition of the tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, re-enters Record Pause mode.

Press 4 to start recording.

If you want to bypass the B.E.S.T. system and begin recording immediately, set “B.E.S.T.” to “OFF”. (

Automatic Satellite Programme Recording

This function allows you to automatically record a satellite programme which is timer-programmed on your external satellite receiver. Connect a satellite receiver to the unit’s AUDIO/VIDEO IN (L-1) connector and programme the timer on the satellite receiver. The unit starts or stops recording by the signals input from the satellite receiver. After recording, the unit’s power shuts off automatically.

ATTENTION

●

Be sure not to turn on the satellite receiver before the programme is executed; otherwise, the unit will start recording when the satellite receiver’s power is turned on.

●

If you have connected another appliance other than a satellite receiver to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN (L-1) connector, be sure not to engage the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode; otherwise, the unit will start recording when the connected appliance’s power is turned on.

●

Automatic Satellite Programme Recording and timerrecording cannot be done at the same time.

Before performing the following steps:

●

Make sure the satellite receiver is connected to the unit’s AUDIO/VIDEO IN (L-1) connector. (

MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG1 Audio Layer 3.” MPEG Audio is a compression specification that compresses the audio portion only. This image compression method is used in DVD or Video CD, etc. The audio data has been compressed into about 1/10.

On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on each Track (file), which usually belongs to a Group (folder).

OPERATIONS ON DVD DECK (cont.)

NOTES:

● Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition, some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start playback.

● The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.

● If there are any Tracks (files) which are stored on a disc directly

and do not belong to any Group (directory), the unit recognized them as belonging to an independent Group.

● The unit does not output a digital audio signal from DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector when playing back an MP3 disc.

● The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3 disc in the alphabetical order.

● For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and [three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then [two]. Tracks in a Group are played back in the same way.

● Therefore, an MP3 disc on the market may be played back in the different order from the order printed on its sleeve.

About JPEG Disc

This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the JPEG format (we refer to those discs as JPEG discs in this manual). Operations for JPEG discs are similar to those for Audio CD discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.

What is JPEG?

JPEG is the abbreviation of “Joint Photographic Expert Group.” JPEG is a still-picture data compression system.

On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file, which usually belongs to a Group (folder).

File A.jpg

File B.jpg

File C.jpg

JPEG disc

Group 2

Group 4

Group 1

File D.jpg

File E.jpg

File F.jpg

NOTES:

● We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480, it will take a longer time to be displayed.)

● This unit can only play back baseline JPEG files*. Progressive JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played.

* Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras, web, etc.

Progressive JPEG format: Used for web. Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used now.

● Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.

● Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition,

some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start playback.

● The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.

● If there are any Files which are stored on a disc directly and do

not belong to any Group (directory), the unit recognized them as belonging to an independent Group.

● The unit plays back Groups/Files on an JPEG disc in the alphabetical order.

● For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and [three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then [two]. Files in a Group are played back in the same way.

● Therefore, an JPEG disc on the market may be played back in the different order from the order printed on its sleeve.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

PLAYBACK

Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached

during playback or search?

A. The tape is automatically rewound to the

beginning.

Q. During search, slow, still and frame-by-frame

playback, I can’t hear any audio. What’s the problem?

A. This is normal.

Q. Can the unit indefinitely remain in the still

mode?

A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to

protect the heads.

Q. When returning from search to normal

playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be concerned about this?

A. No, it is normal.

Q. Noise bar appear during search. What’s the

problem?

A. This is normal.

Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the unit can’t

find the programme I want to see. Why not?

A. There may be index codes too close together.

TIMER RECORDING

Q. “䡬” and “#” remain lit on the front display

panel. Is there a problem?

A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer

recording in progress.

Q. Can I programme the timer while I’m watching

a tape or a TV broadcast?

A. Yo u w o n ’t see the picture as it is replaced by the

on-screen menu, but the audio from the programme or tape you’re viewing can be heard.

RECORDING

Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the

end of the recording before the pause is overlapped by the beginning of the continuation of recording. Why does this happen?

A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause

and resume points.

Q. Can the unit indefinitely remain in the Record-

Pause mode?

A. No. The unit goes to its Stop mode

automatically after 5 minutes to protect the heads.

Q. What happens if the tape runs out during

recording?

A. The unit stops recording, and “䡬” and “$” on

the front display panel won’t stop blinking.
