Tape information

∫ Tapes

≥You can use tapes with the VHS and S-VHS marks, but this unit is

unable to make full use of the characteristics of S-VHS tapes.

≥Break out the tape’s tab to prevent

accidental erasure. Cover the hole with a double layer of adhesive tape when you want to use the tape for recording again.

∫ S-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB)

You can play tapes recorded with the S-VHS system, however some noise may occur with some types and this unit cannot take advantage of S-VHS’s high resolution. This VCR cannot make S-VHS recordings.

∫ Tape care

Poor quality or damaged tapes can cause the heads to become dirty and malfunction. Store your tapes carefully and discard when they become dirty or damaged.

Never use tapes on which juice has been split or those that are extremely damaged since this will not only cause the heads to become dirty, but will also make the unit malfunction.

falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.

Positioning for best effect

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points.

≥Place speakers on flat secure bases. ≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result

in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtain.

Main unit

[Note]

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) away from the system for proper ventilation.

Center speaker

≥You can also put this speaker directly under the television. ≥Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it

is placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a rack or shelf.

Subwoofer

Place to the right of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it won’t cause vibration. Leave 10 cm (4q) on the right for the woofer to be effective. Leave 10 cm (4q) at the rear for ventilation.

Notes on speaker use

≥You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if

you play sound at high levels over extended periods.

≥Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage.

–When playing distorted sound. –When the speakers are receiving howling from a record player,

noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an

oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument. –When adjusting the sound quality. –When turning the unit on or off.

Caution ≥Use the speakers only with the

recommended system. Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage has occurred or if you experience a sudden change in performance.

≥Do not attempt to attach these speakers to

walls using methods other than those described in this manual.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

The supplied speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup combinations.

If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.

The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.

The S-video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)

[Note]

Connect to a different terminal group than that you used for the video cable (e.g., “VIDEO 2”). Picture from this unit’s VCR will not appear when you use the same group input terminal connections because the S-video terminal input takes precedence.

≥MP3 files must have the extension “.MP3” or “.mp3”.

[JPEG]

≥To view JPEG files on this unit:

–Take them on a digital camera that meets the DCF (Design rule

for Camera File System) standard. Some digital cameras have functions that are not supported by the DCF standard like automatic picture rotation which may render a picture unviewable.

–Do not alter the files in any way or save them under a different

name.

–Ensure they have the extension “.JPG”, “.jpg”, “.JPEG”, or “.jpeg”.

≥This unit cannot display moving pictures, MOTION JPEG and other

such formats, still pictures other than JPEG (i.e. TIFF) or play associated sound.

[WMA] [MP3] [JPEG]

≥Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended

formats).

≥This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of

sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.

Naming folders and files

At the time of recording, prefix folder and file names with 3-digit numbers in the order you want to play them (this may not work at times).

Glossary

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.

Film and video

DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at, while video is recorded at 30 frames per second.

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that make moving pictures. About thirty are shown each second. A frame still may appear blurred but overall quality is high. Two fields appear alternately to make up one frame. A field still is not blurred but picture quality is lower.

Interlace and progressive output

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480P.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types. I: Intra coded picture

This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

Maintenance

To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

≥Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit. ≥Before using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that

came with the cloth carefully.

Cleaning the video heads

Dirt on the video heads can cause poor recording and play.

To clean the heads, insert and eject a tape 5 to 10 times in succession. If the picture does not improve, use an optional head-cleaning cassette (part number NV-TCL30PT). If the problem persists, seek advice from a qualified service person.

Listening caution

EST. 1924

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level:

≥Start your volume control at a low setting. ≥Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level: ≥Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
