DISC INFORMATION

Region Number

About Discs

The world is divided into 6 regions for DVD VIDEO discs. DVD

VIDEO discs are assigned a region number to indicate which

region they may be played back in. A disc cannot be played

back on your unit unless the region number of the disc matches

the one on the rear of your unit. The region number for your unit

is as follows:

● The image may be sometimes poor or noisy due to defects in

the disc itself.

DVD VIDEO Marks

Sometimes marks are printed on a DVD disc and/or on its

packaging to indicate information regarding the contents and

functions of a disc. Check marks indicating the contents and

functions of a disc. Note, however, that in some cases a disc may

not include a mark even for a function it supports.

● With some discs, operations may not be possible.

File Structure of Discs

Care and Handling of Discs

DVD VIDEO

How to handle discs

Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called

“titles.” Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to

select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called

“chapters.” Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that

can also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs

are not divided into titles and chapters.

When handling a disc, do not

touch the surface of the disc.

Since discs are made of

plastic, they are easily

damaged. If a disc gets dirty,

dusty, scratched or warped,

the images and sound will not

be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the unit to

malfunction.

Title1

Title2

Chapter 2

Chapter 3

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Label side

Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive

on its surface.

Storage

Audio CD/Video CD

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on

top of one another without their protective cases, they can be

damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be

exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or

temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!

Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each

containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For

example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video

CD discs.

Track 1

Track 2

Track 3

Track 4

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering

to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving

from the center outwards.

If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a

cloth moistened with water. Never use

record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-

static agents.

NOTE:

Video CD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)

The still image or motion image which follows a menu screen is

called a “scene.” Each scene has a scene number.

For more details, refer to “Locating a Desired Scene Using the

Menu of the Video CD with Playback Control (PBC) Function”

(੬ pg. 34).

CAUTION

Sometimes during playback, noise or images may be garbled.

This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to

industry standards.)

Placing a Disc

1 Open the disc tray.

These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the

malfunction of the unit.

Press x on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.

● The unit’s power comes on

automatically.

● Do not block the disc tray with

your hand while it is opening or

closing as this may result in

hardware failure.

● Do not place unplayable discs or

any object other than a disc in

the disc tray.

● Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy

objects on it.

2 Place the disc.

Place the disc in the disc tray with

the label side facing up.

● Since disc size changes depending on

the disc to be played back, be sure to

correctly align the disc with the

grooves for its size. If the disc is not in

its groove, it may be scratched or

otherwise damaged.

● To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.

3 Press x on the DVD deck to close the disc tray.

● Pressing 4 also closes the disc tray.

● Playback begins automatically if an auto-playback DVD disc is

loaded. Although the VHS deck is selected, the DVD deck is

selected automatically (except when the VHS deck is in the

timer mode or the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording

mode.)

immediately, set “B.E.S.T.” to “OFF”. (੬ pg. 54)

NOTES:

● If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the

broadcast will be received in monaural with better quality.

● Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a

bilingual programme, refer to “Soundtrack Selection” on

DTS (DVD deck)

● For Dolby Digital sound, set “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” to

“DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM”. (੬ pg. 57)

● For DTS sound, set “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” to “STREAM/

PCM”. (੬ pg. 57)

CAUTIONS:

● This unit has a dynamic range of more than 80 dB with regards

to its Hi-Fi audio capability. It is recommended that you check

the maximum level if you are going to listen to the Hi-Fi audio

signals through a stereo amplifier. A sudden surge in the input

level to the speakers may damage them.

These instructions enable you to connect your unit to a

Dolby Digital Decoder or an amplifier with built-in DTS.

● Some speakers and televisions are specially shielded to

prevent television interference. If both are of the non-shielded

type, do not place the speakers adjacent to the TV set as this

can adversely affect the video playback picture.

Make connections.

Connect the optical cable between the unit and the

Dolby Digital Decoder or amplifier with a built-in DTS.

SUBSIDIARY SETTINGS (cont.)

* The default setting is bold in the table below.

Ⅵ PAL/MESECAM — AUTO / PAL / MESECAM

8 B.E.S.T. — ON / OFF

Select the appropriate colour system for recording or playback.

AUTO: Usually set to this mode. The appropriate colour system

(PAL or MESECAM) will be selected depending on the

playback or recording signals.

You can set the B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking)

system to “ON” or “OFF.” (੬ pg. 25)

If the “AUTO” mode does not work properly, select either of

the following manual modes.

PAL: To record PAL signals, or playback a PAL tape.

MESECAM: To record SECAM signals, or playback a SECAM or

MESECAM tape.

NOTES:

● When watching a tape recorded with “B.E.S.T.” set to “ON,” it

is recommended that you leave B.E.S.T. on during playback as

well.

● When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another

video recorder, or when using this unit as the player for

editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference.

● The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP modes only after

a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is first initiated.

It does not work during recording.

● The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Automatic Satellite

Programme Recording is in progress. (੬ pg. 32)

● In the case of timer recordings, the B.E.S.T. system works

before recording is initiated.

● Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is cancelled. The

next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is re-

performed.

NOTES:

● SECAM signals will always be recorded as MESECAM. Select

“AUTO” or “MESECAM” when recording SECAM signals.

● When playing back a SECAM tape, select “AUTO” or

“MESECAM.” The playback picture will always be

monochrome.

Ⅵ NTSC — NTSC3.58 / NTSC4.43 / NTSC]PAL

This feature helps you to adjust the playback picture quality

according to your preference. Normally select “AUTO.”

AUTO (NORM): Normally select this. Picture quality is adjusted

automatically. When “B.E.S.T.” is “OFF,” “NORM” will appear

instead of “AUTO.”

● The “NTSC]PAL” mode does not work during recording. In

this mode, NTSC signals will be recorded as NTSC3.58.

● The Menu screen is distorted during playing back a NTSC tape

on PAL TV. Stop playback and access the Menu screen again.

● In the “NTSC4.43” mode, with some TVs, on-screen displays

(Program screen, etc.) may roll up or down and there may be a

loss of colour. When this happens, select the “NTSC3.58”

mode.

EDIT: Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording

and playback).

SOFT: Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed

8 O.S.D. — ON / OFF

NOTES:

● When you select “EDIT” or “SOFT,” the selected mode will not

change until you select another mode.

NOTES:

● When you select “EDIT” to dub tapes, be sure to select

8 AUTO SP]LP TIMER — ON / OFF

When this function is set to “ON,” the unit automatically

switches to LP mode to allow complete recording if there is not

enough tape to record the entire programme while timer-

recording in SP mode.

For Example:

Recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180-

minute tape

Approximately 150 minutes

SP mode

Approximately 60 minutes

LP mode

Total 210 minutes

Make sure you set this function to “ON,” before the timer-

recording starts.

NOTES:

● If you have programmed the unit to timer-record 2 or more

programmes, the second programme and those thereafter may

not fit on the tape if you set “AUTO SP]LP TIMER” to “ON.”

In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the

tape speed manually during timer programming.

● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this

feature may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of

the tape.

● There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point

on the tape where the unit switches from SP to LP mode.

● The Auto SP]LP Timer feature is not available during ITR

(Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work

properly with any tapes longer than E-180, or with some tapes

of shorter lengths.

8 VIDEO STABILIZER — ON / OFF

When this function is set to “ON,” you can automatically correct

vertical vibration in the picture when playing back unstable

recordings made on another recorder.

NOTES:

● When you finish viewing a tape, be sure to set this function to

“OFF.”

● Regardless of the setting, this function has no effect during

recording and during special effects playback.

● The on-screen display may jitter vertically when this function

is set to “ON.”

● To watch recordings with close-caption, set this function to

“OFF.”

8 AUTO POWER OFF — 3H / OFF
