Depending on TV stations, VPS/PDC signals are transmitted with TV programmes. The VCR can control the timer recording start and end times by the VPS/PDC signals to assure the recording of a whole programme, covering any changes in the published broadcast time, that is, time shift, extension or interruption of the programme. lf the TV programme is interrupted, during the VPS/PDC controlled timer recording,the recording will be automatically interrupted and resumed when the programme continues.

Important: The VPS/PDC function only works when the VPS/PDC signal is transmitted with the TV programme to be recorded. If the broadcasting station does not transmit the VPS/PDC signal, the timer recording will be done in the normal mode even if it was programmed in the VPS/PDC mode.

When you have finished, press the OK button to set the Timer Programming.

CD-R MP3 discs

When playing CD-R/MP3 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above, plus the comments below:

Your MP3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format.

ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 files are compatible with Apple's Mac. These two formats are the most widely used.

When naming your MP3 files do not exceed 8 characters, and place ".mp3" as the file extension.

General name format of: Title.mp3.. When composing your title, make sure that you use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including: (.,/,\,=,+).

Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128Kbps when recording MP3 files.

Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to MP3 format, of at least 128Kbps and up to 160Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like 192Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound quality. Conversely, files with decompression rates below 128Kbps will not be played properly.

Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files.

Certain "securized" files are encrypted and code protected to prevent illegal copying. These files are of the following types: Windows MediaTM (registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and SDMITM (registered trade mark of The SDMI Foundation). You cannot copy such files.

Important :

The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD-VCR will play MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that certain technologies and methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (degraded sound quality and in some cases, inability of the player to read the files).

MP3 Play

If you insert an MP3 Disc into the DVD-VCR, you can see the folder directory.

❚

MP3 Play Function

Press the … or † button to select the desired music folder, then press the OK button.

• Up to 8 music folders can be displayed at a time. If you have more than 8 folders on a disc, press the

† button to display them.

Press the … or † button again to select a music file. Press the OK button to begin playback of a music file.

Press the REPEAT button in play mode to hear only music continuously and press it once again to release.
