also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs are
not divided into titles and chapters.
When you record a program on a DVD-RAM/R/RW (VR mode)
disc
A single recording session results in a single title (a single
chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when
recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural to stereo
due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter
marks at desired locations during playback. (A pg. 25)
When you record a program on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode)

Files are automatically grouped as follows and displayed on the
MP3/JPEG Navigation screen. Data is displayed in the
alphabetical order of file name. Files are grouped based on roots.
● This unit can recognize up to 9 hierarchies including directories
and files.
Also, it can recognize up to 250 files in each group, and up to 99
groups on a disc.
NOTES:
● Video CD/SVCD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)
The contents of a disc are recorded into several hierarchies, and
played back according to the instructions on the screen while
navigating through the hierarchies. It is also possible to playback
recorded tracks consecutively without activating the PBC function
even when playing a PBC-compatible disc. (A pg. 26)
● Regarding the contents recorded on discs
Some files may not be played back depending on the file types
and other factors.

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.
