DISC INFORMATION (cont.)
DVD VIDEO Marks
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.
Marks related to video
Marks related to audio
File Structure of Discs
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.
Audio CD/Video CD
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.
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 the Video CD with PBC” (
pg. 37).

Placing a Disc
1
Open the disc tray.
Press
x
on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.
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.
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.
Care and Handling of Discs
How to handle discs
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.
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive
on its surface.
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
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.
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
System
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.
(
pg. 71)
Playback
The unit assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate
playback.
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.
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. (
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.
Recording
The unit assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate
recording.
DURING B.E.S.T.
The unit spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the
condition of the tape, then begins recording.
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. (
pg. 35)
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.
Pressing the unit’s
7
button while “bESt” is displayed does not
start Instant Timer Recording. (
pg. 27)
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”. (

VPS/PDC Recording
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme
Delivery Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are
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 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.
NOTES:
When you use Express Timer Programming, set the start
time (VPS or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV
listing. A different time than advertised will result in no
recording.
VPS/PDC recording is also possible when a satellite
receiver or a cable system is connected to L-2 IN/
DECODER connector on your unit.
VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the L-1 IN/OUT
connector.

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).
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 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:
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 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.

Advantages of S-VHS video recorders
You can edit from VHS to S-VHS, S-VHS to VHS, or, from
S-VHS to S-VHS.
From VHS to S-VHS: Record VHS playback signals in the
S-VHS mode. Although the picture quality is inherently
limited by that of the original, the edited tape has better
picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.
From S-VHS to VHS: Because the picture quality of the
source material is very high, the edited tape has better
picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.
From S-VHS to S-VHS: All signals will be transferred with
minimum degradation.

in progress.
— while B.E.S.T. (
pg. 29) is in progress.
The S-VHS ET function does not work:
— with S-VHS cassettes.
— with recordings in LP mode.
To keep the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a long
period of time, S-VHS recording on S-VHS cassettes is recommended.
Use of high grade tapes is recommended for S-VHS ET recordings. On
some tapes, picture quality will not improve even if the S-VHS ET function
is used. Check the recording quality before you start important recordings.
You can play back a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function on most of
S-VHS recorders and of VHS recorders equipped with SQPB (S-VHS
QUASI PLAYBACK) function. (Notice some recorders are not compatible
with the S-VHS ET function.)
While playing back a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function on some
recorders, noise may appear. (If playback picture becomes blurred or
interrupted, use a cleaning cassette.)
In the high-speed search, still, slow-motion or frame-by-frame playback
modes (
pg. 23, 24), noise may appear. If these modes are performed
frequently on a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function, the tape may be
damaged and the picture may be deteriorated.

Recording.
The programme may not have been
recorded in its entirety. Next time make
sure you have enough time on the tape to

SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. The image of TV broadcast appears
distorted on the TV screen.
The unit leaves turned on and the DVD
deck is selected.
Turn off the unit, or press S-VHS to select
the S-VHS deck, then press TV/VCR so
that the VCR indicator disappears from the
front display panel.
2. Whistling or howling is heard from the
TV during camcorder recording.
The camcorder’s microphone is too
close to the TV.
Position the camcorder so its microphone
is away from the TV.
The TV’s volume is too high. Turn the TV’s volume down.
3. When scanning channels, some of
them are skipped over.
Those channels have been designated to
be skipped.
If you need the skipped channels, restore
them. (
pg. 80)
4. The channel cannot be changed.
Recording is in progress. Press 9 to pause the recording, change
channels, then press 4 to resume
recording.
5. Channel settings that were made
manually seem to have changed or
disappeared.
After the manual settings were made,
Auto Channel Set was performed.
Perform manual setting again.
6. No channels are stored in the unit’s
memory.
The TV aerial cable was not connected
to the unit when Auto Set Up was
performed.
Turn off the unit once and connect the TV
aerial cable to the unit properly, then turn
on the unit again. Then perform Auto Set
Up again. (
pg. 13)
The fully-wired 21-pin SCART cable was
not connected between TV and the unit
when Preset Download was performed.

fully-wired 21-pin SCART cable to the unit
properly, then turn on the unit again. Then
perform Preset Download again.
(
pg. 15)

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
PLAYBACK
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. During search, slow, still and frame-by-frame
playback, I can’t hear any audio. What’s the
problem?
A.
This is normal.
Q. Can the unit indefinitely remain in the still
mode?
A.

What’s the problem?
A.
This is normal.

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.

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?

The unit stops recording, and “
” and “
$
” on
the front display panel won’t stop blinking.
TIMER RECORDING
Q. “
” 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. 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.
