Digital Connection to an MD to Record a CD

Some Audio CDs and VIDEO CDs have a short silent section between musical tracks. When sound from discs such as these is digitally recorded by connecting the Product directly to a digital recorder (such as an MD player), the music may be recorded continuously and track numbers may be lost.

■ Digital Connection to Audio Equipment or MD Player without a Dolby Digital Decoder

• Audio CD or VIDEO CD Play the disc as you normally would, with the audio mode set to “L+R” (see page 85). With a digital connection, audio of a disc recorded with DTS sounds abnormal in this case.

•DVD With a digital connection, audio cannot be produced from a DVD recorded with Dolby Digital (5.1 channel), Dolby Surround (Pro Logic), DTS or MPEG Audio, so you should use an analogue connection to play such discs. Discs with linear PCM audio should play normally.

• This connection is not possible if the processor or amplifier to which you want to connect does not have a coaxial

digital input jack.

NTSC Tape Play Back on PAL TV

When you play back an NTSC tape on your Product, it is possible to use a PAL or multi-system compatible TV. However, please note the following:

• The picture will shrink vertically to some degree, as shown in the diagram, but this does not indicate a malfunction in your TV or Product.

• If your TV does not have a V-HOLD control, the picture may roll and be unwatchable. However, if you use a TV with a V-HOLD control, you can stop the rolling by adjusting the V-HOLD control and watch the picture.

• Horizontal noise bars may appear on the screen during special effect playback (video search, still, slow, frame advance, and double speed playback), possibly accompanied by discolouring.

• Although NTSC tapes can be played back into a PAL TV, those tapes cannot be dubbed by a PAL system VCR connected to the AUDIO OUT and VIDEO OUT terminals of this product. Tapes recorded in this way cannot be played back on PAL system VCRs.

• Set the Colour mode to AUTO or NTSC, and set the NTSC mode to PAL TV.

• If the erasure protection hole is covered, press ûPLAY after the power turns on automatically.

Auto Head Cleaning System

When the tape is inserted or ejected, this system automatically cleans the drum and heads with a special roller before recording or playback begins, protecting the heads and drum from dirt and preserving beautiful picture quality.

• When you insert the cassette and begin playback.

• When you press CH ' / " at the same time.

• When the Product has been playing back an unrecorded section of tape,

Playing MP3 Discs

This product is able to play CD-R or CD-RW discs recorded in MP3 format.

Regarding MP3 discs

•

MP3 files are audio data compressed in MPEG1 Audio layer 3 file format. “MP3 files” have “.mp3” as extensions. (Some files that have “.mp3” extensions or files that have not been recorded in MP3 format will produce noise or cannot be played.)

• Some discs cannot be played depending on the actual CD-R/CD-RW disc condition, the recording equipment and the disc’s recording.

• Data on the CD-R or CD-RW disc, which has not been recorded in MP3 format, audio tracks or has been recorded in other file formats except MP3, cannot be played.

Playing MP3 discs

• Discs that have more than 255 folders and files in total cannot be played.

• Some MP3 files are not played in the order they were recorded.

• The number of layers, which can be recognized, including files and folders, is maximum 8.

• Only the first session of a multi-session disc can be played.

• When both audio tracks and MP3 files are recorded on a disc, audio tracks will be played.

• Depending on the folder tree, reading MP3 files can take time.

• The more files there are, the longer the reading time. Therefore it is recommended to lower the number of

folders before recording.

• Folder or track (file) names are limited to 8 characters. The folder / file names are displayed in half-size, capital letters or half-size numbers. Folder or track (file) names that go over 8 characters will be abbreviated.

• Certain letters or symbols in folder names or file names may not be displayed. In this case, “?” will be displayed.

• The playing time may not be correctly displayed during MP3 file playback.

• It is recommended to record data at a lower speed as data recorded at fast speed can produce noise and

may not be able to be played.

CAUTION

• It is impossible to make a digital copy by using a digital audio recording device which outputs sound from discs in MP3 format through the coaxial digital output jack of this product.

Compression (Dolby Digital output level)

This function automatically turns the power on and starts to playback when a tape with the erasure protection tabs removed is inserted.

Enhanced picture quality during playback.

This function facilitates S-VHS software playback. The original high picture quality of SVHS (horizontal resolution of 400 lines) cannot be played.

When noise appears on an image during tape playback, you can adjust the image quality to a suitable level so as to reduce the noise.

Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes which have been simultaneously shot from a number of different angles (the same scene is shot from the front, from the left side, from the right side, etc,). With such discs, you can select the angle on Function Control Screen to view the scene from different angles.

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title is subdivided into many sections, each of which is numbered, and specific parts of video presentations can be searched quickly using these numbers.

Playback Control (PBC)

This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures and sound have been recorded by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video compression technology (MPEG II) and high-density recording technology, DVD enables esthetically pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a whole movie can be recorded). DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs which are adhered to each other. Since the thinner the disc, the higher the density at which the information can be recorded, a DVD disc has a greater capacity than a single 1.2 mm thick disc. Since the two thin discs are adhered to each other, there is the potential to achieve double-sided play sometime in the future for even longer duration play.

Screen size that cuts off the top and bottom of the image to allow playing of Wide (16:9) software on a connected 4:3 TV.

Linear PCM is a signal recording format used for audio CDs. The sound on audio CDs is recorded at 44.1 kHz with 16 bits. (On DVD discs, sound is recorded at between 48 kHz with 16 bits and 96 kHz with 24 bits.)

Screen size that cuts off the sides of the image to allow playing of Wide (16:9) software on a connected 4:3 TV.

Laser device that reads the data from a disc for playback.

This is recorded on a VIDEO CD (version 2.0). The scenes or information to be viewed (or listened to) can be selected interactively with the TV monitor by looking at the menu shown on the TV monitor.
