MOISTURE CONDENSATION
POWER SYSTEM:
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
in 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.
This unit operates on voltage of AC110 – 240 Vd
(Rating), AC90 – 260 Vd (Operating), 50/60 Hz with
automatic switching.
The STANDBY/ON 1 button does not completely
shut off mains power from the unit, but switches
operating current on and off. “`” shows electrical
power standby and “!” shows ON.
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.
Video tapes recorded with this unit in the LP/EP (Long
Play/Extended Play) mode cannot be played back on a
single-speed video recorder. (S-VHS deck only)
On placing the unit:
Some TVs or other appliances generates strong
magnetic fields. Do not place such appliance on top
of the unit as it may cause picture disturbance.

(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,

DISC INFORMATION (cont.)
DVD VIDEO Marks
File Structure of Discs
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.
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.

Placing a Disc
Care and Handling of Discs
How to handle discs
1 Open the disc tray.
When handling a disc, do
Press x on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.
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 adhesive
on its surface.
● 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.
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
2 Place the disc.
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.
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.
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.)
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the
malfunction of the unit.

Recording
B.E.S.T. Picture
The unit assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate
recording.
DURING B.E.S.T.
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.
(੬ pg. 77)

● The unit spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the
Playback
condition of the tape, then begins recording.
The unit assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate
playback.
NOTES:
● The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP (or EP) 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. 39)
before recording is initiated.
● The unit adjusts the playback picture quality based on the
quality of the tape in use.
● B.E.S.T. is active during automatic tracking. “bESt” appears
blinking on the front display panel.
● 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.
● Pressing the unit’s 7 button while “bESt” is displayed does not
start Instant Timer Recording. (੬ pg. 28)
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. (੬ pg. 77)
● “bESt” only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking.
Even though it doesn’t appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function is
operative.
ATTENTION
Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually
starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after 7
and 4 on the remote control are pressed, or 7 on the unit is
pressed. To make sure you record the desired scene or
programme in its entirety, first perform the following steps:
A Press and hold 9 and press 7 to engage the Record Pause
mode.
● 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”. (੬ pg. 77)

timer is automatically programmed.
You have to set Guide Program numbers, which are assigned to each station for purposes of SHOWVIEW timer programming, for all the
stations stored in your unit’s memory to get proper results.
Before G-CODE setup you must have performed Auto Set Up (੬ pg. 16).
IMPORTANT
After setting the Guide Program Numbers, channel positions may be incorrect if you stored or skipped channels. In this case, re-
perform Guide Program Number setting.
INFORMATION
G-CODE and SHOWVIEW are different trademarks used to represent the same easy recording feature, but only the term G-CODE
system will be used in the instructions. If you use the SHOWVIEW system, follow the same instructions listed for the G-CODE system.

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 by 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
recognized them as belonging to an independent Group.
● The unit does not output a digital audio signal from DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT connector when playing back an MP3 disc.
● 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
the 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).

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 in the disc.

About JPEG Disc
This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the JPEG format
(we refer to those discs as JPEG discs in this manual).
Operations for JPEG discs are similar to those for Audio CD
discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.
Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used now.

● 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

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).
● The unit plays back Groups/Files on an 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, an JPEG disc on the market may be played back in

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
PLAYBACK
TIMER RECORDING
Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached
during playback or search?
A. The tape is automatically rewound to the
beginning.
Q. “⅜” and “#” remain lit on the front display
panel. Is there a problem?
A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer
recording in progress.
Q. During search, slow, still and frame-by-frame
playback, I can’t hear any audio. What’s the
problem?
Q. Can I programme the timer while I’m watching
a tape or a TV broadcast?
A. You won’t see the picture as it is replaced by the
on-screen menu, but the audio from the
programme or tape you’re viewing can be
heard.
A. This is normal.
Q. Can the unit indefinitely remain in the still
mode?
A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to
protect the heads.
Q. When returning from search to normal
playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be
concerned about this?
A. No, it is normal.
Q. Noise bar appear during search. What’s the
problem?

RECORDING
Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the
end of the recording before the pause is
overlapped by the beginning of the
continuation of recording. Why does this
happen?
A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause
and resume points.

automatically after 5 minutes to protect the
heads.
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during
