Maintenance

SERVICING

1. Please refer to relevant topics in the “Troubleshooting” on page 84 before returning the product.

2. Do not attempt to service this unit yourself. Instead, unplug it and contact a SHARP Approved Service Centre for inspection.

3. Be sure the service technician uses authorised replacement parts or their equivalents. Unauthorised parts may cause fire, electrical shock, or other hazards.

4. Following any service or repair, be sure the service technician performs safety checks to certify that this unit is in safe operating order.

CLEANING THE CABINET

• Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits,

ammonia or abrasive.

CLEANING DISCS

• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre 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 analogue records.

RECOMMENDED MEASURES FOR OPTIMUM PICTURE EXCELLENCE

Note that this period varies depending on the environment (temperature, humidity, dust, etc.) in which the unit is used. Contact your authorised SHARP supplier for details.

DISC HANDLING

• When you handle a disc, hold it by its edge and try not to touch the surface of the disc.

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

Easy DVD recording

The following will help you to understand easily how to record on DVD discs. Make sure batteries are in the remote control and you have connected this unit and the TV correctly.

Step 1: Choose a disc type.

There are several types of recordable DVD discs to choose from. Choose a recordable DVD disc type based on your playback / recording / editing needs. See “DVD disc types” at the bottom of this page for more information on the differences among various compatible media.

This unit can record on the following type of discs.

For example, when you want to record repeatedly on the same disc or when you want to edit the disc after recording, select the rewritable DVD-RW type disc. When you want to save recordings without any alteration, a non-rewritable DVD-R can be your choice.

Step 2:

Insert a blank disc.

Hint 1: Play back the recorded contents

You can select the title you want to play back from a displayed menu and immediately start playback. Recorded contents are easily accessible, with simple procedure of choosing a title on a chapter on the menu screen.

What are titles and chapters?

The contents of a DVD disc are generally divided into titles. Titles may be further divided into chapters.

Hint 2: Edit the recorded disc

You will find editing discs is easy. This unit offers convenient editing functions which are possible only with DVD-RW/-R discs.

Title List offers the following editing functions.

• Putting names on titles

• Setting pictures for thumbnails

• Setting / clearing chapter marks

• Deleting parts of titles or scenes

(Possible editing functions depend on the recording format and editing method.)

Original and Playlist (VR mode)

You can edit the contents on a Playlist without changing the original recordings. A Playlist does not take up much disc space.

What “Original” or “Playlist” is for?

Throughout this Operation Manual, you will find Original and Playlist to refer to the original content and the edited version.

• Original content refers to what’s originally recorded on the disc.

• Playlist content refers to the edited version of the original content.

Finalising a Disc

• You need to record in Video mode and finalise the disc to play it back on other players.

•

Once you finalise a disc recorded in Video mode, you cannot record or edit

any information on the disc.

• Discs recorded in VR mode can still be edited after finalisation.

Information on DVD recording

Type of discs

This unit can record on DVD-RW and DVD-R. You can record on DVD-R only once. On DVD-RW, you can record and erase many times. It is possible to record on DVD-R only in Video mode. DVD-RW can record in the format you select from Video mode or VR mode.

DVD-RW

DVD-R

If you want to record repeatedly on the same disc, or if you want to edit the disc after recording, use a rewritable DVD-RW type disc. If you want to save recordings without any alteration, use a non-rewritable DVD-R type disc.

Recordable discs

• Discs that should or should not be used with this recorder: DVD-R 8x can be used. DVD-RW 4x can be used, 6x may result in a Rec error.

• Discs that have been tested and are proven to be compatible with this recorder: Verbatim DVD-R 8x Verbatim DVD-RW 2x

Video mode and VR (Video Recording) mode

Video mode is the same recording format as used on the pre-recorded DVD-Videos you purchase in local shops, so you can play back the discs recorded in this format in most DVD players. You will need to finalise such discs (see pages 37-38) before playing them back in other DVD players. Unless finalised, you can record additional materials or edit discs recorded in Video mode with this unit. VR (Video Recording) mode is a basic recording format for DVD-RW discs. You can record and edit material repeatedly. It is impossible to record additional materials on a disc formatted in VR mode and already recorded in another video system other than PAL, such as NTSC.

DVD players bearing the logo are capable of playing back DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode.

• This table is intended for a standard new single sided 12cm / 8cm disc. The recording times are estimates and actual recording time may differ.

• The audio and video quality becomes poorer as the recording time gets longer.

Restrictions on recording

You cannot record copy-protected video using this unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Videos and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material is detected, recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message appears on the screen. You can only record “Copy-once only” video using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM). When recording a TV broadcast or an external input, you can display copy control information on the screen. CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the protection of “copy-once” broadcast programmes. This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programmes, but you cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be played back on DVD players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

• It may take a while for audio and images to be output after you inserted a disc and pressed [PLAY B].

• When playing back the files recorded in high bit rates, the images can be interrupted in some occasions.

• Although DivX® logo has been obtained for this unit, it may not be able to play back some data, depending on the characteristics, bit rates, or audio format settings, etc.

• Use the software recognised by the DivX, Inc. when you make DivX® files.

• A DivX® file whose file size exceeds 2GB cannot be played back.

• When using tools or utilities to make up DivX® files, read their instruction manual beforehand.

• Never use the MPEG4 tools when you make DivX® files. Otherwise, noise or disturbance of the picture and sound may be generated.

Analogue audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. In contrast, digital audio can also be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also Digital audio.

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (i.e., the screen is almost square). Widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as its height).

Chapter

Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a DVD disc is usually divided into chapters. See also Title.

CM SKIP

This unit can skip TV commercials during DVD Video playback. Once [CM SKIP] is pressed, the start point will be set forward 30 seconds and playback resume automatically. (You can press

[CM SKIP] up to 6 times.) CPRM

(Content Protection for Recordable Media)

CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the protection of “copy-once” broadcast programmes (e.g. some satellite broadcasts).

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound using numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44 or 100 times a second for CD audio) by an analogue-todigital converter, generating a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital-toanalogue converter generates an analogue signal based on these numbers. See also Sampling frequency and Analogue audio.

Dolby Digital

A system developed by Dolby Laboratories that compresses digital sound. It works with stereo (2ch) or multi-channel audio.

DTS (Digital Theater System)

DTS is a Multi-channel surround sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital. Both formats were developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

Finalise

To make DVDs that have been recorded playable in DVD players. It is possible to finalise DVD-RW/-R discs with this unit.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

JPEG is a method of compressing still image files. You can copy JPEG files on CD-RW/-R discs from a computer and play back the files on this unit.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

MP3 is a method of compressing files. You can copy MP3 files on CD-RW/-R discs from a computer and play back the files on this unit.

PBC (Video CD only) (Playback Control)

This function enables you to play back interactive software using a menu screen. See also Title.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

PCM is a format that converts audio into digital data. It is mainly used for Audio CDs and DAT. This unit can play back sounds as realistic as possible by converting even compressed Dolby Digital and MPEG audio to PCM.

Playlist

From this list you can play back contents of a disc in your desired order or in sequence. It is also possible to directly search for a specific scene.

Region code

Regions associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play back discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions).

Sampling frequency

The rate at which sound is measured by a specified interval to turn it into digital audio data. The number of samples in one second is defined as the sampling frequency. The higher the rate is, the better the possible sound quality.

S-Video output

Video is output as the individual signals of colour(C) and luminance(Y), so a higher-quality picture will be displayed.

Title (DVD)

A collection of chapters on a DVD. See also chapter.

(Video CD)

The contents of a Video CD. When playing back a Video CD with the PBC function, the Title menu will appear automatically.

Track

Audio CDs and Video CDs use tracks to divide the contents of a disc. The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also Chapter.
