Care And Handling Of Discs
How to handle discs
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.
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesives
on its surface.
Recording side
Make sure that discs are not scratched and dirty on the recording
side before use. Scratches and dirt on the recording side of a disc
may hinder proper playback and recording. Also be careful that a
DVD-RAM disc may get scratched or dirt when removed from
cartridge then put back in after use.
Storage
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!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering
to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving
from the centre 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.
CAUTION:
Sometimes during playback, noise may appear or images may
be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up
to industry standards.)
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the
malfunction of the unit.

SP mode on a 120-minute disc, the disc remaining time would be
30 minutes in XP mode, 60 minutes in SP mode, 120 minutes in
LP mode, 180 minutes in EP mode, and 240 minutes in FR480
mode. Timer-recording will not complete beyond these remaining
times.
● The maximum recording time of FR (JUST) mode is the same as
the recording time of FR480 mode. When timer programming a
long programme in FR (JUST) mode on a disc whose remaining
time is short, it is recommended to check the disc remaining time
in FR480 mode to see if the remaining time is enough for the
programme.
● Even if more than one programme are timer programmed in FR
(JUST) mode, only the first one is recorded.
● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the disc, this feature
may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of the disc.
● There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on
the disc where the unit switches the mode.

Recording Mode
The HDD on the unit requires approximately 20 seconds to start
up after the unit has been turned on, during which no operation
can be made.
MPEG2 format is used as recording format. As a guide for picture
quality, the AbpsB unit is used to represent how much data can be
recorded per second. The larger this value is, the better the picture
quality becomes but more capacity is required for the recording.
Select XP or SP for programmes where quick movement occurs,
such as sports programmes, and LP or EP for talk shows, etc. with
relatively less movement.

bilingual programme, refer to ASoundtrack SelectionB (A pg. 43).
● You can only perform ITR using the R button on the unit.
● During Instant Timer Recording, any other timer programmed
recording won’t start even if their start time has come. In such a
case, the timer programmed recording starts (if the end time of
the timer programmed recording is set after the end of Instant
Timer Recording) after the Instant Timer Recording finishes.
B.E.S.T. Picture System
The B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking) system
checks the condition of the tape in use during playback and

Recording
The unit assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate
recording.
● The unit spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the
condition of the tape, then begins recording.
ATTENTION:
Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually starts,
there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after R and I on the
remote control are pressed, or R on the unit is pressed. To make
sure you record the desired scene or programme in its entirety,

Weekly/Daily Recording
You can record programmes with one of the following weekly/daily
timer settings.
VPS/PDC Recording
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery
Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are services
designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording. With this
system, special code signals are transmitted together with the
audio/video signals. These code signals control your video unit
and have precedence over the advertised times you may have
preset into the timer. This means that your unit will start and stop
recording when the preset TV programmes actually start and
end^even if the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is
changed.
For the HDD deck
disk drive is saved for new recordings by overwriting previous
recordings. To prevent loss of a needed recording, backup
programmes you wish to save by dubbing them to DVD discs
