generated.
Video CDs
(8 cm /12 cm disc)
— on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.
2. DO NOT block the unit’s ventilation openings or
holes.
Audio CDs
(8 cm /12 cm disc)
(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

SAFETY FIRST (cont.)
Some Do’s And Don’ts On The Safe Use
Of Equipment
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.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
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.
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.
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.
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.)
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.

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.

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. 37)

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. 29)
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. 71)
● “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

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. 71)

PDC Recording
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 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.

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
● 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.
This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the MP3 format (we
refer to those discs as MP3 discs in this manual).
Operations for MP3 discs are similar to those for Audio CD
discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.
● 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.
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).
Disc Time Information
Press DISPLAY during playback repeatedly until the disc
time information appears on the TV screen.
● To return to the normal screen, press DISPLAY.
Track A.mp3
Group 1
Track B.mp3
Track C.mp3
MP3 disc
Group 2
A Current group number
B Current track number
C Elapsed time
Track D.mp3
Track E.mp3
D Transmission rate
To change information on the front display panel
The disc time information also appears on the front display
panel.
Track F.mp3
Group 4
Each time you press – –:– –, the display changes as
follows:
Current group/Current track{Elapsed time
Group 3
This unit can recognize up to 99 Groups and up to 254 Tracks
per Group, however, the number of Tracks to be played back on
a disc is limited to 1023.
If a disc includes more than 1023 Tracks, the unit stops detecting
Tracks when the number of detected Tracks reaches 1023 and
ignores the subsequent Tracks. The unit also ignores any non-
MP3 file in the disc.
NOTES for making a private MP3 disc using a CD-R/
CD-RW disc:
● Select “ISO9660” as the disc format.
● Do not select the “multi-session” recording.
● Finalize the disc.

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?
A. This is normal.
Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the unit can’t
find the programme I want to see. Why not?
A. There may be index codes too close together.
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.
Q. Can the unit indefinitely remain in the Record-
Pause mode?
A. No. The unit goes to its Stop mode
automatically after 5 minutes to protect the
heads.
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during
recording?
A. The unit stops recording, and “⅜” and “$” on
the front display panel won’t stop blinking.
