Cleaning the cabinet

• Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the
unit with a soft, slightly damp cloth.

• Never use a solvent, thinner, benzene or alcohol to
clean the unit. Do not spray insecticide liquid near the
unit. Such chemicals may discolor the surface or
damage the unit.

Cleaning discs

• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning
cloth. Wipe the disc from the center to out. Do not
wipe in a circular motion.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, detergent, abrasive
cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analog
records.

Cleaning the disc lens

• If this unit still does not perform properly although you
refer to the relevant sections and to
“TROUBLESHOOTING” in this user manual, the laser
optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your dealer or
an Authorized Service Center for inspection and
cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.

Disc handling

• Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not
adhere to the surfaces of the discs.

• Always store the disc in its protective case when it is
not used.

Installation Location

For safety and optimum performance of this unit:

• Install the unit in a horizontal and stable position. Do
not place anything directly on top of the unit. Do not
place the unit directly on top of the TV.

• Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from
devices of intense heat. Avoid dusty or humid places.
Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper
heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes on
the sides of the unit. Avoid locations subject to strong
vibration or strong magnetic fields.

Moisture Condensation Warning

Moisture condensation may occur inside the unit when it
is moved from a cold place to a warm place or after
heating a cold room or under conditions of high
humidity. Do not use this unit at least for 2 hours until its
inside gets dry.

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.

higher video resolution or extended recording time on
each DVD. DVDs created using Dolby Digital Recording

FEATURES

This unit not only plays back DVD and CD but also offers features for you to record on DVD and edit them after that.
The following features are offered with this unit.

Recording

This unit is compatible with DVD+RW/DVD-RW, which is
rewritable repeatedly and DVD+R/DVD-R, which is avail­able for recording once. You can choose either one for your
convenience. Even if you choose DVD-RW/-R, these discs will
automatically be recorded in the DVD+VR mode.

Up to 12 program recording:

You can program the unit to record up to 12 programs within
a one-month period. Daily or weekly program recordings are
also available.

One-touch timer recording (OTR):

You can easily set a recording time as you prefer. Every
time [RECORD] or [REC I] is pressed during recording, the
recording time will be increased by 30 minutes up to 6 hours.
The recording automatically stops when the recording time
you set is reached or the disc is full.

DV dubbing:

This function helps you to easily dub the contents of the DVC
(digital video camcorder) to DVD.

Automatic chapter mark setting:

Chapter marks will be put on recordings as you set before
attempting to record.

Automatic title list making:

The unit makes a title list with the index automatically.

Left channel stereo recording:

This unit can record the sound of the left channel monaural
input as left and right channels automatically (the input from
the E2 only).

Playback

Theater surround sound in your home:

When connecting the unit to an amplifier or a decoder which
is compatible with Dolby Digital, you can experience the theat­er surround sound from discs with surround sound system.

Quick search for what you want to watch:

You can easily find the part you want to watch using the
search function. Search for a desired point on a disc by title,
chapter or time.

Virtual surround system:

You can enjoy stereophonic space through your existing 2
channel stereo system.

Playing back MP3/Windows Media™ Audio/JPEG/DivX®
files:

You can enjoy MP3/Windows Media™ Audio/JPEG/DivX® files
which are recorded on CD-RW/-R.
DivX® files can also be recorded on DVD+RW/+R or DVD-RW/-R.

Editing

Deleting titles:

You can delete titles which you do not need anymore.

Putting names on titles:

You can put your favorite names on titles.

Setting / clearing chapter marks:

You can set / clear chapter marks on titles.

Hiding chapters:

To keep others from playing back some chapters without
permission, you can hide chapters.

Setting pictures for thumbnails:

You can change pictures for thumbnails.

Dividing titles:

You can divide a title into 2 or more.

Putting name on disc:

You can put your favorite disc name.

Compatibility

Available for playing back discs on a regular DVD player:

Recorded discs can be played back on regular DVD players,
including computer DVD drives compatible with DVD-video
playback. Although DVD+R are playable on other units
without finalization in most cases, it is recommended to
finalize in order to stabilize the performance. For DVD-RW/-R,
you need to finalize the recorded discs to play on other DVD
players.

Others

Progressive scan system

Unlike conventional interlace scanning, the progressive scan
system provides less flickering and images in higher
resolution than that of traditional television signals.

You can enjoy clearer audio/video output when connecting
this unit to a display device with an HDMI-compatible port.

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.

Note

• When using 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 vice 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 HDMI­DVI converter cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.

main channel, called major channel.

About digital TV broadcasting:

With its high definition broadcast, digital broadcasting far
surpasses analog broadcasting in both its picture and
sound quality.

What is the minor channel?

By using high compression technology, digital
broadcasting offers a service that enables multiple signals
to send simultaneously.

Therefore, you can select more than one program per
major channel since digital broadcasting technology
distinguishes between multiple channels broadcast by a
signal network.
