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 this unit unless the region number of the disc matches  
that of the unit. The region number for this unit is “2”. Only discs  
whose region number includes “2” can be played back such as  
shown below.  
Playable Discs  
You can use discs with the following logos for playback only.

Discs other than the above cannot be played back.  
Operation and audio quality of this unit are not guaranteed for  
discs that do not conform to the Compact Disc specification  
(CD-DA).  
Allows operation with a  
disc including MP3 files.  
Allows operation with a

Allows operation with

DVD VIDEO Marks  
Before you play back a CD, check for the CD logo and read  
the notes on the package to confirm that it conforms to the  
Compact Disc specification.  
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.  
Depending on the intentions of the author of the software,  
recording conditions of DVD discs and Video CD discs may  
be restricted. Since this unit plays back discs according to the  
intentions of the author of the software as indicated on the  
disc, some functions may not operate as commanded.  
When switching from the first layer to the second layer of  
double-layered DVD VIDEO discs, the image and sound may  
be momentarily distorted. This is not a malfunction.

The following types of discs cannot be played using this unit.  
Do not attempt to play back any kind of disc that is damaged  
(cracked, warped, or repaired with adhesive tape) or discs in  
unusual shapes (heart-shaped, octagonal, or other forms). If such

Marks related to audio  
2 Place the disc.  
Place the disc in the disc tray with  
the label side facing up.  
Number of audio tracks  
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.  
Dolby Digital mark  
Dolby Laboratories has developed a digital  
surround system for the home. This mark  
indicates that you may enjoy 5.1-channel  
audio (front left and right, center, rear left and  
right, and a channel for LFE (Low-Frequency  
Effects)).  
To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.  
Care and Handling of Discs  
DTS (Digital Theater System)  
How to handle discs  
You can enjoy DTS audio if you connect an  
amplifier with a built-in DTS decoder to the  
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector of the unit.  
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.  
File Structure of Discs  
DVD VIDEO  
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.  
Label side  
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive  
on its surface.  
Storage  
Title1  
Title2  
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!

Chapter 1  
Chapter 2  
Maintenance of discs  
Audio CD/Video CD  
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering  
to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving  
from the center outwards.  
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.  
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.  
Track 1  
Track 2  
Track 3  
Track 4  
CAUTION  
NOTE:  
Sometimes during playback, noise or images may be garbled.  
This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to  
industry standards.)  
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 a Video CD with PBC” (pg. 31).  
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the  
malfunction of the unit.  
Placing a Disc  
1 Open the disc tray.  
Press x on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.  
Pressing the button again closes  
the disc tray.  
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.

Receiving Stereo and Bilingual  
Programmes  
B.E.S.T. Picture System  
Your unit is equipped with a Sound-Multiplex decoder (A2) and  
a Digital stereo sound decoder (NICAM) making reception of  
stereo and bilingual broadcasts possible.  
The B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking)  
system checks the condition of the tape in use during  
playback and recording, and compensates to provide the  
highest-possible playback and recording pictures. You  
can set “B.E.S.T.” to “ON” or “OFF” to your preference.  
(pg. 63)  
When the channel is changed, the type of broadcast being  
received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.

appear. (pg. 63)  
To Record Stereo and Bilingual Programmes (A2)  
Stereo programmes are automatically recorded in stereo on the  
Hi-Fi audio track (with the normal audio track recording mixed L  
and R channel sound).  
Bilingual programmes are automatically recorded in bilingual  
on the Hi-Fi audio track. The main soundtrack will be  
recorded on the normal audio track.  
ATTENTION  
Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually  
starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after 7

The unit then automatically checks the condition of the  
tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, re-enters Record  
Pause mode.  
B Press 4 to start recording.  
If you want to bypass the B.E.S.T. system and begin recording  
immediately, set “B.E.S.T.” to “OFF”. (pg. 63)

3D Phonic  
After the unit has memorized the resume point for 30 discs,  
remembering a new resume point will cause the unit to delete  
the oldest memorized point. Stopping playback of a disc for  
which a resume point is already stored may change the order  
in which the points are stored. This may potentially change the  
order in which points are deleted.  
The 3D Phonic function allows you to get a simulated surround  
effect from your stereo system. You can enjoy vertical surround  
sound with your 2-channel stereo system.  
When the unit memorizes a resume point for a disc, it also  
remembers audio language, subtitle and angle settings.

OPERATIONS ON DVD DECK (cont.)  
NOTES:  
Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition,  
some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start  
playback.  
About MP3 Disc  
This unit can playback CD discs recorded in the MP3 format (we  
refer to those discs as MP3 discs in this manual).  
The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.  
If there are any Tracks (files) which are stored on a disc directly  
and do not belong to any Group (directory), the unit  
recognizes them as belonging to an independent Group.  
The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3 disc in the  
alphabetical order.  
For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and  
[three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then  
[two]. Tracks in a Group are played back in the same way.  
Therefore, an MP3 disc on the market may be played back in  
different order from the order printed on its sleeve.  
Operations for MP3 discs are similar to those for Audio CD  
discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.  
What is MP3?  
MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG1 Audio Layer 3”. MPEG  
Audio is a compression specification that compresses the audio  
portion only. This image compression method is used in DVD or  
Video CD, etc. The audio data has been compressed into about  
1/10.  
On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on each Track  
(file), which usually belongs to a Group (folder).

If a disc includes more than the Tracks above limit, the unit stops  
detecting Tracks when the number of detected Tracks reaches  
the limit and ignores the subsequent Tracks. The unit also  
ignores any non-MP3 file on the disc.

About JPEG Disc  
Operations for JPEG discs are similar to those for Audio CD  
discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.  
This unit can playback CD discs recorded in the JPEG format (we  
refer to those discs as JPEG discs in this manual).  
This unit can only play back baseline JPEG files*. Progressive  
JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played back.  
* Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras, web, etc.  
Progressive JPEG format: Used for web.  
Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used now.  
Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.  
Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition,  
some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start  
playback.  
The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.  
If there are any Files which are stored on a disc directly and do  
not belong to any Group (directory), the unit recognized them  
as belonging to an independent Group.  
What is JPEG?  
JPEG is the abbreviation of “Joint Photographic Expert Group”.  
JPEG is a still-picture data compression system.  
On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file, which  
usually belongs to a Group (folder).  
File A.jpg  
Group 1  
File B.jpg  
The unit plays back Groups/Files on a JPEG disc in the  
alphabetical order.  
For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and  
[three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then  
[two]. Files in a Group are played back in the same way.  
Therefore, a JPEG disc on the market may be played back in  
different order from the order printed on its sleeve.

NOTES:  
For Example:  
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.

Total 210 minutes  
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.  
Make sure you set this function to “ON”, before the timer-  
recording starts.  
The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Automatic Satellite  
Programme Recording is in progress. (pg. 28)  
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:  
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.  
Pressing the units 7 button while “BEST” is displayed does  
not start Instant Timer Recording. (pg. 22)  
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.  
If you perform timer recording with both VPS/PDC and the  
Auto SP]LP Timer activated, and the programme goes  
beyond its originally scheduled length, there may be times  
when the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.  
8 PICTURE CONTROLAUTO / EDIT / SOFT  
This feature helps you to adjust the playback picture quality  
according to your preference. Normally select “AUTO”.  
AUTO: Provides the optimised picture benefits of the B.E.S.T.  
Picture System.  
EDIT: Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording  
and playback).  
SOFT: Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed  
tapes containing a lot of noise.  
NOTES:  
When you select “EDIT” or “SOFT”, the selected mode will  
not change until you select another mode.  
When you select “EDIT” to dub tapes, be sure to select  
“AUTO” after you finish dubbing the tapes.  
When “B.E.S.T.” is “OFF”, “PICTURE CONTROLswitches

About NTSC Playback  
Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at  
the top and bottom of the TV screen. This is not a malfunction  
on the part of either the unit or the TV.  
8 VIDEO STABILIZER — ON / OFF  
The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected using  
the V-HOLD control found on some TVs. (This cannot be  
corrected if the TV does not have a V-HOLD control.)  
The counter and tape remaining time readings will be  
incorrect.  
During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture  
will be distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.  
Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom portions of  
superimposed displays may be cut off during NTSC playback.  
When this function is set to “ON”, you can automatically correct  
vertical vibration in the picture when playing back unstable
