©2008 Funai Electric Co., Ltd.

Note

•Remember to read the instructions along with the video head cleaner before use.

•Clean video heads only when problems occur.

IR signal check

If the remote control does not work properly, you can test if the remote control sends out the infrared signal with AM radio or a digital camera (including built-in camera

of cellular phone). It will help to define the cause of malfunction.

• With an AM radio:

Tune an AM radio to a station with no broadcasting. Press a button on remote control toward the radio. Sound will be fluttering when you press any key and the radio receives the signal. This means the remote control is working.

• With a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone):

Direct a digital camera to remote control, press and hold a button on remote control. If infrared light appears through digital camera, the remote control is working.

If the connected device is not compatible with HDMI BITSTREAM, audio will be output as PCM even if you select “Stream” in “Dolby Digital” setting (Refer to page 70).

Copyright protection system

To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player and the display device (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display device (or AV amplifier) for more information.

*HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface

Note

•Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices with an HDMI input may not operate properly with this unit.

•When using an HDCP-incompatible display device, the image will not be viewed properly.

•Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI connector; however, this unit cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI connector.

•The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length) maybe limited by the device that is connected.

•Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (for example, projectors). In connections with device such as this unit, audio signals

are not output from the HDMI output connector.

•When this unit’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI-DVI converter cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.

•When the power failure occurs, or when you unplug the unit, some problems in the HDMI setting might occur. Please check and set the HDMI setting again.

•When the unit is connected with an HDMI cable, a revocation list update screen may appear when you try to play back the DVD-video containing a revocation list.

•If the unit is connected to the unauthorized display device with an HDMI cable, the audio/video signal may not be output when playing back a commercial DVD-video.

However, if you have added or deleted chapters, or made chapters hidden, you must perform “Make Edits Compatible” before being able to see those effects on other units. (Refer to page 69 for more details.) To play back discs other than DVD+RW on other DVD players, you will need to finalize.

Unrecordable Discs

•DVD-RW recorded in the mode other than +VR is not recordable on this unit unless you erase all contents in the disc (refer to page 68).

•DVD-R recorded in the mode other than +VR is not recordable on this unit.

Recording Mode

You can select a recording mode among 6 options, and the recording time will depend on the recording mode you select as follows.

	Disc size	Recording		Recording	Video/sound
		mode		time	quality
		HQ (1Hr)		18 min	(good)
		SP	(2Hr)	36 min
	8cm Disc	SPP (2.5Hr)		45 min
