Titles are further divided into units called AchaptersB. 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.
When you record a programme 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. 23)
When you record a programme on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode) disc

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 authorised dealer or nearest JVC service centre 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.

Resume Function

It is possible to memorise the position where you stop playback and resume playback from that position.
Be sure to set ARESUMEB to AONB or ADISC RESUMEB.
(A pg. 58)
Resume function always works for DVD-R/DVD-RW discs that
have not been finalised and DVD-RAM regardless of the setting of ARESUMEB.
1 Press o during playback to memorise a resume point.
The unit enters Resume Stop mode and memorises the
position where you have stopped playback as a resume point. (The inside of the disc status indicator on the front display panel blinks while memorising.)
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. 58)
Performing the following steps would erase the resume points:
(The inside of the disc status indicator stops blinking and lights.)
When ARESUMEB is set to AONB:
• Press 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

o in stop mode.
• Press
TOP MENU to display the top menu, then start playback by

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 already 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. 58)
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. 58),
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.
When you switch to HDD while playing back JPEG/MP3 files,
playback stops. The Resume Function doesn’t work when you switch to DVD thereafter to playback the disc.
