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 or 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!

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.

Life Span Of Parts

Cooling fan

Periodical inspection and maintenance are requisite to maintain the initial performance and reliability of the product. We recommend the exchange of the fan motor every three years.

HDD

The HDD is a consumable part. Please arrange for maintenance after an estimated usage of 10,000 hours (this estimation is based on usage under the environment of 25f, it may differ depending on the usage environment). Please consult your authorized dealer or nearest JVC service center on the maintenance and cost.

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.

● 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 ARESUMEB is changed to AONB or AOFFB (A pg. 59),

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

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

disc.

● When you switch to HDD while playing back JPEG/MP3 files,

Scan Mode Set (HDD & DVD Deck Only)

If you connect the unit and TV with Component Video Connection (A pg. 18), you can select the scan mode from two modes: Interlaced scan mode which is used in the conventional TV system, and Progressive scan mode which enables reproduction of higher-quality images.

8 Interlaced scan

In the conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display monitor in two halves. The Interlaced scan system places lines of the second half of the picture in-between lines of the first half of the picture.

8 Progressive scan

Progressive scan displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a single frame. This system can convert the interlaced video from DVD into progressive format for connection to a progressive display. It dramatically increases the vertical resolution.
