When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make

sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation

(10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear.)

Some Do’s And Don’ts On

The Safe Use Of Equipment

When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be

considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of

these batteries must be followed strictly.

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to

meet international safety standards but, like any

electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to

obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

Failure to heed the following precautions may result in

damage to the unit, remote control or video cassette.

1. DO NOT place the unit —

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to

use the equipment.

— in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or

humidity.

DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the

mains plug, extension leads and interconnections

between pieces of equipment) are properly made

and in accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug

when making or changing connections.

— 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.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about

the installation, operation or safety of your

equipment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

(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.

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in

any doubt about it working normally, or if it is

damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the

mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose

dangerous voltages.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is

unattended unless it is specifically stated that it

is designed for unattended operation or has a

standby mode. Switch off using the switch on

the equipment and make sure that your family

knows how to do this. Special arrangements may

need to be made for infirm or handicapped

people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios

so that you are distracted from the requirements

of road safety. It is illegal to watch television

whilst driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use

can permanently damage your hearing.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for

example with curtains or soft furnishings.

Overheating will cause damage and shorten the

life of the equipment.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with

wood screws — to ensure complete safety

always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or

legs with the fixings provided according to the

instructions.

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.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain

or moisture.

ABOVE ALL...

— NEVER let anyone especially children push

anything into holes, slots or any other opening in

the case — this could result in a fatal electrical

shock;

— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical

equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe

than sorry!

DISC INFORMATION (cont.)

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 a Video CD/SVCD with Playback Control (PBC)

Function” (੬ pg. 31).

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.)

PDC Recording

Press PROG or ENTER. “PROGRAM COMPLETED”

appears on the TV screen for about 5 seconds, then the

normal screen appears.

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme

Delivery Control) is a 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 which 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 from what has been advertised. PDC is currently

available nationally on BBC1, BBC2, Ch.4 and Ch.5, except

from a few small relay transmitters. Ch.3 operates a PDC

service in some areas. All channels intend to offer this

service in due course. Check your TV programme listing

guide for latest information. If the channel you intend to

record does not offer a PDC service your unit will not start

recording if PDC has been selected. Be sure to set PDC to

“OFF” if PDC is not available on your selected channel.

time (PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A

different time than advertised will result in no recording.

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

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

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.

system to “ON” or “OFF.” (੬ pg. 23)

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.

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

● 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. (੬ 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 unit’s 7 button while “BEST” is displayed does

not start Instant Timer Recording. (੬ 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 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 CONTROL— AUTO / 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 CONTROL” switches

automatically from “AUTO” to “NORM.”

8 O.S.D. — ON / OFF

When this function is set to “ON,” various operational indicators

appear on the TV screen.

NOTES:

● When you use this unit as the source player for editing, be sure

to set “O.S.D.” to “OFF” before starting.

● During playback, the operation mode indicators may be

disturbed depending on the type of tape being used.

8 DIRECT REC — ON / OFF

When this function is set to “ON,” you can easily start recording

the programme that you are watching on your TV. Press and hold

7 and press 4 on the remote control, or press 7 on the unit.

NOTES:

● When you use the Direct Rec function, be sure to use a TV

offering T-V LINK, etc. and connect a fully-wired 21-pin

SCART cable between the unit and the TV. (੬ pg. 11)

● If “DIRECT REC” is set to “OFF,” the 7 button functions as

described in “Basic Recording” (੬ pg. 21).

● During Direct Rec, “– –” appears on the front display panel.

● When “DIRECT REC” is set to “ON,” if you press any button

just after pressing 7 on the unit (or 7 and 4 on the remote

control), the unit may not function properly.
