Failure to heed the following precautions may result in
damage to the unit, remote control or video cassette.
1. DO NOT place the unit —
Contents
— in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or
humidity.
— in direct sunlight.
— in a dusty environment.
— in an environment where strong magnetic fields are
generated.
— on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.
2. DO NOT block the unit’s ventilation openings or holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a
newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the unit or remote control.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the unit
or remote control.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or
electric shock may be caused.)
5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.
6. DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places with
water. Also DO NOT place any containers filled with water or
liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted
plants, cups, etc.) on top of this unit.
7. DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted
candles, on the apparatus.
8. AVOID violent shocks to the unit during transport.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the unit when you move it
from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid
conditions—just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass
filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum
will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation
may occur, keep the unit turned on for a few hours to let the
moisture dry.
ATTENTION
To mobile phone users:
Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the unit may cause
picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a
blue back display.
On placing the unit:
Some TVs or other appliances generate strong magnetic fields.
Do not place such appliances on top of the unit as it may cause
picture disturbance.

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.

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.

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
discs are accidentally played back, it may cause noise that can
lead to speaker damage.

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 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.
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.

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme
Delivery Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are
service 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 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.

● VPS/PDC recording is also possible when a satellite
receiver or a cable system is connected to L-2 IN/
DECODER connector on your unit.
● VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the L-1 IN/OUT
connector.
● You can programme this unit to timer-record as many as 8
programmes. If you try to programme the unit to record a
ninth, “PROGRAM FULL” appears on the TV screen and
“FULL” appears on the front display panel. To record the extra
programme, you must first cancel any unnecessary
● If there is a conflict in the timer schedule and one programme

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).

Group 3
This unit can recognize up to 99 Groups and up to 150 Tracks
per Group.
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.

NOTES:
● We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a
file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480,
it will take a longer time to be displayed.)
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.
File C.jpg

The JPEG control display appears on the TV screen and playback
starts when a JPEG disc is loaded.

If a disc includes more than the Files above limit, the unit stops
detecting Files when the number of detected Files reaches the
limit and ignores the subsequent Files. The unit also ignores any
non-JPEG file on the disc.
NOTES for making a private JPEG disc using a CD-R/
