Discs without cartridges

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.

Label side facing up

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 ASide AB facing down, programmes are recorded on 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 dirty 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

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.

Precautions for daily use

● When moving the speakers, do not pull the speaker cords;

otherwise, the speakers may fall over, causing damage or injury.

● Do not reproduce sounds at so high a volume that they are

distorted; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by internal heat build-up.

● When holding a speaker, always grasp the lower portion. (TH-R3)

● Do not lean against the speakers, as the speakers could fall

down or break, possibly causing an injury. Especially make sure that children do not lean against them. (TH-R3)

INSTALLING YOUR NEW UNIT

Speaker Layout

Front left speaker

Left surround speaker

● Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.

● The front and centre speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid

colour distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, they may cause colour distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing the speakers. ^ When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s

main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main

power switch again. Some TV’s may still be affected even though you have followed the above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.

● The surround speakers are not magnetically shielded.

If it is located near the TV or monitor, it will probably cause colour distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the speaker near the TV or monitor.

● Be sure to place the powered subwoofer to the TV’s right. If you

place the powered subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient distance between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.

● When installing the satellite speakers on the wall;

^ Be sure to have them installed on the wall by a qualified

personnel. DO NOT install the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to avoid unexpected damage from their falling off the wall due to incorrect installation or weakness in wall structure.

^ Care must be taken in selecting a location for speaker

installation on a wall. Injury to personnel or damage to equipment may result if the speakers installed interfere with daily activities.

● The unit enters Resume Stop mode and memorises the

position where you have stopped playback as a resume point. ARESUMEB lights on the front display panel.

● The unit retains a memory of the resume points of the last

30 discs played back, even though they have been ejected if ARESUMEB is set to ADISC RESUMEB. (A pg. 76)

●

To clear the resume points:

When ARESUMEB is set to AONB:

• Press AUDIO A to turn off the unit.

• Press

M to take out the disc.

• Press

o in stop mode.

• Press

TOP MENU to display the top menu, then start playback by

selecting an item, etc.

MENU to display the disc menu, then start playback by

• Press selecting an item, etc.

When ARESUMEB is set to ADISC RESUMEB:

• ARESUMEB must be set to AOFFB. (A pg. 76)

• Press

o in stop mode.

• Press

TOP MENU to display the top menu, then start playback by

selecting an item, etc.

MENU to display the disc menu, then start playback by

• Press selecting an item, etc.

2 Press I in stop mode to resume playback. The unit starts

playback from the resume point.

NOTES:

● ADISC RESUMEB setting works on DVD VIDEO, VCD, SVCD and

finalised DVD-R/DVD-RW (Video mode) discs. For other types of discs, the function under AONB setting will be applied even if ARESUMEB is set to ADISC RESUMEB. (A pg. 76)

● If you stop the playback of a disc for which a resume point has

already been memorised, the memory will be updated with the new resume point.

● After the unit has memorised the resume points for 30 discs,

remembering a new resume point will cause the unit to delete the oldest memorised 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 memorises 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 ARESUMEB is changed to AONB or AOFFB (A pg. 76),

resume points of the discs memorised with ARESUMEB set to ADISC RESUMEB will be cleared.

● Resume points are memorised for each side of a double-sided

disc.

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

NOTES:

● ASUPERIMPOSEB must be set to AAUTOB. Otherwise the on-

screen displays will not appear. (A pg. 75)

● If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the

broadcast might be received in monaural with better quality.

Selection Of The Audio Channel To Be Recorded On A Disc

When a programme is recorded on a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc in VR mode, all audio channels of the receiving programme are recorded on the disc. When recording onto a DVD-R or DVD-RW (Video mode) disc, it is not possible to switch the audio channel of an external input using this unit. You can either switch the audio channel using the external device or remove the disc and press AUDIO to switch the audio channel.

NOTE:

Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a bilingual programme, refer to AAudio Channel SelectionB (A pg. 31).

NOTES:

● You can programme this unit to timer record, regardless of the

disc remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not enough, it is not possible to record until the end of the timer programme. Check the disc remaining time before performing timer programming. (Example) If you programmed to timer-record for 60 minutes in SP mode on a 120 minutes 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 programme 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 programme.

● Even if more than one programme 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.

Surround Mode

Reproducing Theatrical Atmosphere

In movie theatres, a number of speakers are located on the wall to reproduce realistic sensation by means of calculated sound effects, enabling sounds to be heard from all directions. By locating a number of speakers encircling the audience seats, localisation of sound and dynamism are remarkably improved. This system, which makes use of 5 speakers and subwoofer can reproduce the realistic sensation experienced in the movie theatres at home.

Surround Mode

Dolby Surround

● Dolby Digital*

A multi-channel audio compression format used for DVDs. (This kind of software bears the For Dolby Digital 5.1CH, the front left channel, front right channel, centre channel, rear left channel, rear right channel and subwoofer channel, a total of 5.1 channels (subwoofer is counted as 0.1 channel) each produces sound independently, thus minimising interference between the channels and enabling reproduction of stereo surround with better sound quality.

This system with its built-in Dolby Digital decoder allows you to enjoy the Dolby Digital realistic sensation comparable to the movie theatres and stage theatres.

● A DB lights on the front display panel when Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital EX, which adds a surround back channel to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, further enhances the realistic sensation.

● Dolby Pro Logic II (Pro Logic 2)

This system is built-in with a Dolby Pro Logic decoder. It extracts and playback 5.1-channel sound from 2-channel sound recorded in Dolby Surround format using matrix circuitry. This will enable stereo and encircling surround effect. A similar surround effect can also be obtained through normal 2channel stereo sound.

MHz

To stop listening to the programme selected by Enhanced Other Network

Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly again so that the programme type indicator (TA/NEWS/INFO) goes off from the front display panel. The system exits from Enhanced Other Network standby mode and goes back to the previously selected station.

When an emergency broadcast (ALARM signal) is sent from an FM station

The system automatically tunes in to the station and AALARMB appears on the front display panel while the system is receiving the emergency broadcast. Note that an emergency broadcast cannot be received in the following cases;

● When you are listening to non-radio data system stations (all AM

- MW stations, some FM stations and other sources).

● When the system is in standby mode.

The TEST signal is used to test whether the equipment can receive the ALARM signal correctly

The TEST signal makes the system work in the same way as the ALARM signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the system automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal. While receiving the TEST signal, ATESTB appears on the front display panel.

NOTES:

● In Enhanced Other Network standby mode, if you change the

source to play, Enhanced Other Network standby mode is cancelled temporarily. If you change the source to FM again, the system returns to Enhanced Other Network standby mode.

● Enhanced Other Network data sent from some stations may not

be compatible with this system.

● Enhanced Other Network does not function for some FM stations

with radio data system service.

● While listening to a programme tuned in by the Enhanced Other

Network function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a programme of the same Enhanced Other Network data.

● While listening to a programme tuned in by the Enhanced Other

Network function, you can only use TA/NEWS/INFO and RDS DISPLAY as the tuner operation buttons.

VPS/PDC Recording

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are services 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 Manual 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 via the [L-1 INPUT/

OUTPUT] connector.

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

A Press DISPLAY for 5 or more seconds. AVPS/PDCB is displayed

on the front display panel. If a VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station, AVPS/PDCB will stop blinking. If no VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station, AVPS/PDCB will blink at a slower rate.

B Press DISPLAY again to return to normal display.

TIMER RECORDING

On-Disc Timer Programming

On-Disc Timer Programming is a function used with discs that are especially intended for a specific programme. The disc is then programmed for a programme you always watch every day or every week. Since older programmes are automatically overwritten, a single disc can be used without worrying about how much recording capacity remains. You can programme each disc to timer record as many as 8 programmes up to 30 days in advance.

● Make sure that the unit’s built-in clock is set properly.

● Turn on the TV and select an input mode such as EXT1.

● Load a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW (VR mode) disc for

programming.

ATTENTION:

● On-Disc Timer Programming is possible only with the disc for

On-Disc Timer Programming.

● If data is recorded on a disc for On-Disc Timer Programming

using a unit from another manufacturer, On-Disc Timer Programming may not function properly.

Basic Operation Of Play List Information

Play List

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.

● Turn on the TV and select an input mode such as EXT1.

● Set the remote control selector switch to AUDIO.

● Press DVD on the remote control.

● Load a DVD disc to modify.

ATTENTION:

It is not possible to modify discs recorded on DVD units from other manufacturers.
