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.

INITIAL SETTINGS

Plug & Play Set

Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set

TTENTION

●

If you use a cable box, Plug&Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels separately. (

●

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.

墌

pg. 24 – 27)

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.

Perform Plug & Play setup.

Connect the antenna cable to the unit. (墌pg. 14) 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 complete successfully, the correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play setting successfully, there is no need to perform “Clock Set”

(

pg. 24) and “Tu ner S et ” (墌pg. 26). If, however, you want

to add or delete channels, refer to “Manual Channel Set”

(

pg. 27).

During Initial Auto Clock Set

“AUTO” blinks.

* If an incorrect clock time or “– –:––” appears on the front display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed” below.

During Auto Channel Set

The channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.

The current time is displayed.

INFORMATION

●

If “AUTO CLOCK” is set to “ON” ( 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”. (

●

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” ( or “Manual Clock Set” (

●

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” (

About MP3 Disc

This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the MP3 format (we refer to those discs as MP3 discs in this manual). Operations for MP3 discs are similar to those for Audio CD discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.

What is MP3?

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 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 back.

* 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.
