≥The producer of the material can control how DVD-Video and
Video CDs are played. This means that you may not be able to
control play of a disc with some operations described in these
operating instructions. Read the disc’s instructions carefully.
≥This unit can play CD-R/CD-RW (audio recording disc) recorded
with CD-DA (digital audio), video CD (video CD format 2.0 or
above) or MP3. Finalize§1 the disc after recording.
≥We recommend using Hitachi Maxell discs as they have been con-
firmed to be compatible with this unit. Other discs may not perform
correctly.
≥Do not allow the disc to become dirty or scratched. Fingerprints,
dirt, dust, scratches or deposits of cigarette smoke on the record-
ing surface may make it impossible to use the disc for recording.
≥Discs with programs recorded in PAL already cannot be recorded
on using this unit.
It may not be able to play some CD-R or CD-RW due to the condi-
tion of the recording.
§1 A process that allows play on compatible equipment.
The playback status of discs that do not comply with the CD
standard, such as “Copy Control CD (CCCD)”, cannot be guar-
anteed. If playback of peculiar discs only causes a problem, con-
sult the sales outlets for these discs.
Playing back discs outside the CD standard may cause various
malfunctions.
DVD-RAM
≥This unit cannot record onto CD-R or CD-RW.
≥DVD-RAM recorded on this unit may not be compatible with
other DVD players. Consult the manual for the player to deter-
mine compatibility with these DVD-RAM discs.
DVD-Video
≥Audio format
≥This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and cartridge
DVD-RAM, but the write-protect tabs on cartridge-type discs give
better protection to your recordings.
Dolby Digital (➜page 47)
This unit can play Dolby Digital in stereo (2
channels). Connect an amplifier with a built-
in Dolby Digital decoder to enjoy surround
sound.

Connect this unit to equipment that has a
DTS decoder to enjoy DVDs with this mark.
≥In order to play a DVD-R recorded using this unit on another
playback source, the disc must first be finalized (➜page 34).
≥Once a DVD-R is finalized, it becomes DVD-Video.
≥You can record onto the available space on the disc and perform
editing functions, such as giving titles to discs and programs and
erasing programs before finalizing.
≥When programming is erased from a DVD-R, that space does not
become available. Once an area on a DVD-R is recorded on, that
area is no longer available for recording, whether the recording is
erased or not.

Glossary
Bitstream
Interlace and progressive output
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 chan-
nel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines,
whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines.
This is called 480p. The video signals output from this unit’s COM-
PONENT VIDEO OUT terminals (Y, PB, PR) allow you to enjoy higher
quality pictures than if the signals were output from the VIDEO OUT
terminal or S-VIDEO OUT terminal.
CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media)
CPRM is the copyright protection technology that is used to protect
broadcasts that are allowed to be recorded only once (e.g. some
CATV broadcasts).
I/P/B
Decoder
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with
DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.
I: Intra coded picture
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal.
This is called decoding.
This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when
adjusting the picture.
P: Predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated based on past I- or P-pictures.
B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I- and
P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Labo-
ratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also
be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be
recorded on one disc using this method.
This unit is set to record using Dolby Digital in all recording modes.
Dolby Pro Logic
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)
These are uncompressed digital signals. This unit outputs linear
PCM sound in 2 channels from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminals.
A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2
channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround
channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.
Playback control (PBC)
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and infor-
mation with menus.
This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the
world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic
sound effects are possible.
Pan&Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be
viewed on a widescreen television with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This
means you can view most material with the intended aspect ratio on
a widescreen television.
Film and video
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is
recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at,
while video is recorded at 30 frames per second.
Material with this ratio will not fit onto a standard television with an
aspect ratio of 4:3. Two styles of picture, “Pan&Scan” and “Letter-
box”, deal with this problem.
Frame still and field still
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving pic-
ture. There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these
fields one after the other to create frames.
Pan&Scan: The sides are cut off so the
picture fills the screen.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is
made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred,
but overall quality is high.
A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a
frame still so picture quality is lower.
Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top
and bottom of the picture so the
picture itself appears in an
aspect ratio of 16:9.
Disc handling
Do not use irregularly shaped discs, such as heart-shaped.
(These can damage the unit.)
DVD-Video, Video CD, CD

Moisture may condense on discs after they are brought inside from

Maintenance
The precision parts in this unit are readily affected by the envi-

smoke also can cause malfunction or breakdown.
Observe the following points to ensure continued listening and
viewing pleasure.
Dust and dirt may adhere to the unit’s lens over time, making it
impossible to record or play discs.
Use a generally available lens cleaner every 1 to 4 months, depend-
ing on frequency of use and the operating environment. Read the
lens cleaner’s instructions carefully before use.
To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
≥Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
≥Before using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that
came with the cloth carefully.
Product Service
