In addition, this unit can play a CD-R or CD-RW that contains audio titles or MP3 files and Video CD also.

Notes

– Depending on the conditions of the recording equip-

ment or the CD-R/RW disc itself, some CD-R/RW discs cannot be played on the unit.

– The unit cannot play the CD-R/RW discs that contain

no data, or contain different kinds of formatted data other than MP3 and CD-DA data.

– Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the

Notes on DVDs and Video CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers. As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to disc content designed by the software manufacturer, some playback features of the unit may not be available, or other functions may be added. Refer also to the instructions supplied with the DVDs and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business purposes may not be played on the unit.

Regional code of the DVD+VCR and DVDs

This DVD+VCR is designed and manufactured for playback of region “2” encoded DVD software. The region code on the labels of some DVD discs indicates which type of player can play those discs. This unit can play only DVD discs labeled “2” or “ALL”. If you try to play any other discs, the message “Check Regional Code” will appear on the TV screen. Some DVD discs may not have a region code label even though their playback is prohibited by area limits.

Disc-related terms

Title (DVD only)

The main film content or accompanying feature content or additional feature content, or music album. Each title is assigned a title reference number enabling you to locate it easily.

Chapter (DVD only)

Sections of a picture or a musical piece that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of one or several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, no chapters may be recorded.

Track (Video CD and audio CD only)

Sections of a picture or a musical piece on a video CD or an audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number, enabling you to locate the track you want.

Scene

On a video CD with PBC (Playback control) functions, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called “Scenes”. Each scene is displayed in the menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling you to locate the scene you want. A scene is composed of one or several tracks.

Types of video CDs

There are two types of video CDs:

Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)

PBC (Playback control) functions allow you to interact with the system via menus, search functions, or other typical computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures of high resolution can be played if they are included in the disc.

Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1)

Operated in the same way as audio CDs, these discs allow playback of video pictures as well as sound, but they are not equipped with PBC.

Note on DTS-encoded CDs

To avoid possible damage to the audio system, turn down the volume before playing back such discs, adjust the volume gradually, and keep the volume level low. To enjoy DTS Digital SurroundTMplayback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital SurroundTMdecoder system must be connected to the digital output of the unit.

Before Use (Cont’d)

Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

When setting the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc. Do not install this equipment in a confined space, such as a book case or built in cabinet.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber of plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD+VCR is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality will be poor. Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.) For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.

OPERATION

Page 22

Operation with tape

The DVD+VCR allows you to make recordings using a variety of simple methods: Quick Set Recording (QSR): Starts recording immediately for a set period of time or until the video cassette runs out. VIDEO Plus+ System Recording greatly simplifies entering the date, channel, start and end times of a Timer Recording. Timer Recording: You may record at a later time (up to 1 month from the present). Up to 7 of these automatic recordings may be set.

The DVD+VCR incorporates Long Play (LP) which enables you to record up to twice the amount of time on a video cassette. For example an E-180 will record up to 180 minutes using Standard Play (SP); using LP you will be able to record up to 360 minutes. Please note there will be a slight loss in picture and sound quality when using LP.

Quick Set Recording (QSR)

Make sure that you have correctly connected

your DVD+VCR as described earlier in this book. Press to turn on your DVD+VCR.

Insert a video cassette with protection tab into

your DVD+VCR.

The video cassette should have the window side facing up and the arrow facing away from you.

Press CH/TRK (vv/VV) to select the programme

number you wish to record.

You may also directly select programme numbers using the numerical buttons on the remote control.

If you wish to record directly from either of the

SCART sockets or AV INPUT sockets, repeatedly press AV until the socket you wish to record from is displayed.

Press SP/LP if you wish to record in Long Play

or Standard Play.

SP will produce improved picture and sound quality, however LP will provide twice as much recording time as SP.

Press REC (zz) to start recording.

RECORD will appear on the TV screen. Press REC several times. Each successive press will increase the record time by 30 minutes until you reach a maximum of 9 hours.

Press PAUSE/STEP (XX) to avoid recording

unwanted scenes.

Press PAUSE/STEP (XX) to continue recording. If you press P AUSE/STEP (XX) during QSR, the DVD+VCR will enter the record pause mode and QSR is cancelled. Tapes can be paused for up to 5 minutes; RECP will be displayed when a tape is paused. After 5 minutes your DVD+VCR will stop recording to prevent damaging the tape or your DVD+VCR.

Press STOP (xx) twice within 5 seconds to end

recording. Press EJECT (ZZ).

EJECT will appear on the TV screen for a few seconds.

Notes

 If you do not wish to record on a tape (this can hap-

pen quite easily by accident!) remove the protection tab on the back edge of the video cassette.

 It is possible to record on a video cassette with the

record protection tab removed by covering the hole with self adhesive tape.

 Remember you can record one programme while

watching another by starting your instant recording, pressing TV/VCR to appear TV indicator in the display window and then selecting a different channel on your TV.

Hi-Fi Stereo Sound System

Your DVD+VCR will record and play back Hi-Fi stereo sound. In addition it has a NICAM digital stereo sound decoder. This allows you to record and play back the sound in several different ways. Video cassettes recorded on your DVD+VCR will have a normal mono audio track and two VHS Hi-Fi stereo audio tracks. These stereo tracks allow you to make audio recordings in HiFi stereo or bilingual mode from a TV broadcast, stereo audio system, video disc or another Hi-Fi VCR.

Your DVD+VCR’s NICAM digital sound decoder

allows you to enjoy broadcasts with NICAM sound, as well as standard stereo NICAM, bilingual and mono sound.

The particular type of sound received or that recorded will be briefly displayed on the TV screen for a couple of seconds:

STEREO

Sound is automatically recorded on the Hi-Fi stereo and mono tracks of the video tape.

BIL NICAM

Both audio channels will be recorded on the Hi-Fi stereo tracks. The primary language channel (left) will be recorded on the mono track of the video tape.

MONO

The sound is recorded on the Hi-Fi tracks and the mono track of the video tape without any separation.

STEREO

Widescreen Compatibility 16:9

Your DVD+VCR can record and play back widescreen aspect ratio programmes (16:9). To record a wide screen format programme successfully the correct type of widescreen signal must be broadcast by the TV station.

Notes on MP3 Discs

About MP3



An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using MPEG1, the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.



The DVD+VCR can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.



The DVD+VCR can not read a fake MP3 file that has a file extension “.mp3”.

MP3 Disc compatibility with this DVD+VCR is limited as follows:

1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz

2. Bit rate / within 32 - 320kbps

3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”

4. If you record MP3 files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “DirectCD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We therefore recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 file system.

5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one. This player can play the CD-DA Multi-session disc. But, we cannot guarantee for all other Multi-session discs.

6. File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate the “.mp3” extension e.g. “********.mp3”.

7. Do not use special characters such as “_?!><+*}{`[@ ]:;\/.,” etc.

8. Total number of files on the disc should be 200 or less. If a disc contains more than 200 files, the files with the numbers 201 or more can not be displayed and played back.

9. Use 74-minute CD-R discs (650M), do not use 80minute CD-R (700M) software.

OPERATION

This DVD+VCR requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files).

Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.

Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation can occur:

• When the DVD+VCR is moved from a cold place to a warm place.

• Under extremely humid conditions.

In locations where moisture condensation may occur:

•

Keep the DVD+VCR plugged into an AC power outlet with On. This will help prevent condensation.

• When condensation has occurred, wait a few hours for the DVD+VCR to dry before using it.

Video Head Cleaning

Whenever a video cassette is inserted into or ejected from your DVD+VCR the video head is automatically cleaned. This means that additional head cleaning should not be necessary. However dirt accumulating on the head after a long period of time can cause the playback picture to become blurred or broken up. High quality video cassette tapes will not normally deposit dirt onto the video head, but old or damaged tapes might.
