– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file  
Learning More about This System  
at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.  
This System cannot play back files made at bit rate of  
less than 64 kbps.  
Introduction (see pages 1 and 2)  
Playable Disc Types:  
Playing Back a Tape:  
• If you play back an NTSC disc with the video output  
selector set to “PAL,” you can watch the playback pictures  
(the disc will be reproduced using “PAL 60” format), but  
the TV screen may roll over upward and downward  
rapidly.  
• If you play back a PAL disc with the video output selector  
set to “NTSC,” you can watch the playback pictures, but  
the following symptoms may occur:  
– The items on the disc menu will be blurred, and be shown  
slightly shifted when highlighted.  
– The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from the  
original aspect ratio.  
• In Relay Play, if the playing time of the tape in deck A is  
less than 12 seconds, the System rewinds the tape and plays  
back again.  
Daily Operations—Sound&Other Adjustments  
(see pages 12 to 15)  
Creating Your Own Sound Modes—User Mode:  
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure  
occurs, the User Mode settings will be erased in a few days.  
If this happens, set the User Mode again.  
Creating 3-dimensional Sound Field—3D Phonic:  
• While you use the headphones, 3D Phonic mode is  
canceled temporary.  
• When you activate the mic mixing, 3D Phonic mode is  
canceled temporary.  
• 3D Phonic setting is also applied to the optical digital  
output signals through the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT  
terminal.  
– The picture movement is not smooth.  
• About audio format  
–
Linear PCM: Uncompressed digital audio, the same  
format used for CDs and most studio masters.  
–
Dolby Digital: Compressed digital audio, developed by  
Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel  
encode to create the realistic surround sound.  
Setting the Clock:  
–
DTS (Digital Theater Systems): Compressed digital  
audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc.,  
which enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the  
compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it  
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.  
• “0:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock.  
• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this  
happens, reset the clock.  
Unique DVD/VCD Operations (see pages 16 to 17)  
Selecting the Sound Track:  
• On some DVD Videos, you cannot change audio languages  
while playing back.  
Special Picture Playback:  
• During slow-motion playback, no sound will be  
reproduced.  
• While zoomed in, the picture may look coarse.  
Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 7 to 11)  
Listening to the Radio:  
• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number,  
the previously stored station in that number will be erased.  
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure  
occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If  
this happens, preset the stations again.  
Playing Back a Disc:  
Advanced Disc Operations (see pages 19 to 21)  
ProgrammingthePlayingOrder—ProgramPlay:  
• While programming steps...  
Your entry will be ignored if you have tried to program an  
item number that does not exist on the disc (for example,  
selecting track 14 on a disc that only has 12 tracks).  
• You cannot use Program Play and Random Play for JPEG  
discs.  
• On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD discs, the actual  
operations may be different from what is explained in this  
manual, due to the programming and disc structure; such  
differences are not a malfunction of this System.  
• For MP3/WMA playback...  
– MP3 discs are required a longer readout time than regular  
CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file  
configuration.)  
– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will  
be skipped. This results from their recording processes  
and conditions.  
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1  
or Level 2 for the disc format.  
– This system can play back MP3/WMA files with the  
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the  
letter case—upper/lower).  
On-Screen Disc Operations (see pages 22 to 26)  
Operations Using the On-screen Bar:  
• A-B Repeat:  
– A-B Repeat cannot be used on some DVDs.  
– A-B Repeat is possible only within the same title or  
within the same track.

• For JPEG files playback...  
– It is recommended that you 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 long time to be  
shown.)  
• When the tape reaches its end in the reverse side (2)  
during recording, recording stops even though the disc is  
not entirely recorded.  
Timer Operations (see pages 29 to 30)  
Setting the Timer:  
• If you do not specify the preset station or track number  
correctly while setting a timer, the currently selected  
station or the first track will be played when timer is  
activated.  
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure  
occurs, the timer will be canceled. You need to set the  
clock first, then the timer again.  
• Without stopping the recording, you cannot change the  
source after Recording Timer starts recording.  
• If you set DVD Video as the source, Daily Timer will not  
work correctly.  
– This System can play only baseline JPEG files*.  
Progressive JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot  
be played.  
* 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.  
• This system can play back JPEG files with the extension  
code <.jpg> or <.jpeg> (regardless of the letter case-upper/  
lower).

recording, Recording Timer is canceled, but recording  
continues until Sleep Timer shuts off the power.  
Recording Operations (see pages 27 to 28)  
Recording on a Tape:  
• The recording level is automatically set correctly. Thus,  
you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to  
without affecting the recording level.  
• There is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto at the  
start and the end of cassette tapes. Thus, when recording  
discs or radio broadcasts, wind the leader tape first to  
ensure that the recording will be made without any music  
part lost.  
• If no cassette is inserted, “NO TAPE” appears on the  
display. If a protected tape has been inserted, “NO REC”  
appears on the display.  
• When using Reverse Mode for recording, start recording in  
the forward (3) direction first; otherwise, recording will  
stop when only one side (reverse) of the tape is recorded.  
• You cannot change the source during recording.  
Synchronized Disc Recording:  
Setup Menu Operations (see pages 31 to 32)  
General:  
• If the upper and lower parts of the menu are cut off, adjust  
the picture size control of the TV.  
LANGUAGE menu:  
• When the language you have selected for MENU  
LANGUAGE, AUDIO LANGUAGE, or SUBTITLE is  
not recorded on a disc, the original language is used as the  
initial language.  
PICTURE menu—MONITOR TYPE:  
• Even if “4:3 PS (MULTI)” is selected, the screen size may  
become 4:3 letter box with some DVD Videos. This  
depends on how the discs are recorded.  
• When you select “16:9 (MULTI)” for a picture whose  
aspect ratio is 4:3, the picture slightly changes due to the  
process for converting the picture width.  
• While recording, you cannot use ¢/4, ¡/1, DVD  
LEVEL, 3D PHONIC and source buttons.  
AUDIO menu—DOWN MIX:  
• You can adjust volume control and sound setting (Active  
Bass Extension, Sound Turbo), sound mode but the  
settings do not affect the recording sound.  
• Everything on the disc goes onto the tape in the order on  
the disc, or according to the order you have made for  
Program Play.  
• This setting is not effective when DTS multi-channel  
software is played back.  
OTHERS menu—ON SCREEN GUIDE:  
• The setup menu and on-screen bar will be displayed (and  
recorded) even though this function is set to “OFF.”  
Subtitles and the information for zoom-in always appear  
on the display regardless of this setting.  
• You cannot use Repeat Play while synchronized recording  
(Repeat Play will be canceled).  
• When recording starts, “DISC REC” appears on the  
display and the REC (recording) lamp flashes.  
• When the tape reaches its end in the forward direction (3)  
during recording, the last song will be re-recorded at the  
beginning of the reverse side (2).

Maintenance  
To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs,  
tapes, and mechanism clean.  
Handling discs  
• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge  
while pressing the center hole lightly.  
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.  
• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.  
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when  
placing it back in its case.  
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes,  
and moisture.  
To clean the disc:  
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center  
to edge.  
Handling cassette tapes  
• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up the slack by  
inserting a pencil in one of the reels and rotate it.  
– If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or caught in  
the cassette.  
• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.  
• Avoid the following places to store the tape—in dusty  
places, in direct sunlight or heat, in moist areas, on a TV or  
speaker, or near a magnet.  
To keep the best recording and playback sound quality:  
• Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol to clean the  
heads, capstans, and pinch rollers.  
• Use a head demagnetizer (available at electronics and  
audio shops) to demagnetize the heads (when the System  
turned off).  
Cleaning the System  
• Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System  
is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-  
diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean  
with a dry cloth.  
• Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become  
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the  
following:  
– DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.  
– DO NOT wipe it strong.  
– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.  
– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as  
insecticides to it.  
– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact  
for a long time.
