For Italy:
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. In conditions where condensation may occur,
disconnect the unit’s power plug from the wall and keep it
disconnected for a few hours to let the moisture dry, then turn on
the unit.

How to handle discs
When handling a disc, do not
touch the surface of the disc.

● Pressing the button again closes the disc tray.
● Use the button to open and close the disc tray.
● Do not block the disc tray with your hand while it is opening or closing

disc tray.
● Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy
objects on it.
Recording side
Make sure that discs are not scratched and dirty on the recording
side before use. Scratches and dirt on the recording side of a disc
may hinder proper playback and recording. Also be careful that a
DVD-RAM disc may get scratched or dirt when removed from
cartridge then put back in after use.
Discs without cartridges
Place the disc on 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
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

temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!
scratched or otherwise damaged. To
insert an 8 cm disc, place it according
to the inner groove.
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering
to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving
from the centre outwards.
DVD-RAM discs contained in cartridges
Double-sided discs:
Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves
on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the side
you wish to play back or record facing down. If you insert the disc
with “Side A” facing down, programmes are recorded on the side A.
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.
Single-sided discs:
Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves
on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the label
side facing up.
CAUTION:
Sometimes during playback, noise may appear 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.

VPS/PDC Recording
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery
Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are services
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 video 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 Manual 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.
How to check if the station being received transmits a VPS/
PDC signal
A Press DVD so that the DVD lamp lights up on the unit.
B Hold down DISPLAY for about 5 seconds. “VPS/PDC” appears
blinking on the front display panel. If a VPS/PDC signal is detected
from the station, “VPS/PDC” will stop blinking. If no VPS/PDC
signal is detected from the station, “VPS/PDC” will blink at a slower
rate.
C Press DISPLAY again to return to normal display.

NOTES:
● You can programme this unit to timer-record, regardless of the disc
remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not enough,
recording may stop in the middle of a programme. To avoid this, make
sure of the disc remaining time before setting timer programming.
(Example) If you programmed to timer-record for 60 minutes in SP
mode on a 120-minute disc, the disc remaining time would be 30
minutes in XP mode, 60 minutes in SP mode, 120 minutes in LP
mode, 180 minutes in EP mode, and 240 minutes in FR480 mode.
Timer-recording will not complete beyond these remaining times.
● The maximum recording time of “FR (JUST)” mode is the same as
the recording time of FR480 mode. When timer programming a long
programme in “FR (JUST)” mode on a disc whose remaining time is
short, it is recommended to check the disc remaining time in FR480
mode to see if the remaining time is enough for the programme.
● Even if more than one programme are timer programmed in “FR
(JUST)” mode, only the first one is recorded.
● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the disc, this feature may
leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of the disc.
● There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the
disc where the unit switches the mode.

NOTE:
Depending on the type of tape being used, the tape remaining time
reading may not appear right away, or is not correct.
“– –:– –” may sometimes appear, or the display may blink on occasion.
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.
● “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.

Digital stereo sound decoder (NICAM) making reception of stereo
and bilingual broadcasts possible.
When the channel is changed, the type of broadcast being
received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.
Recording
The unit assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate
recording.
● The unit spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the condition of
the tape, then begins recording.

HOLD control found on some TVs. (This cannot be corrected if the
TV does not have a V-HOLD control.)
● The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.
● During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be
distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.
● Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom portions of
superimposed displays may be cut off during NTSC playback.

The Just Clock function provides accurate time keeping through
automatic adjustments at regular intervals, by reading data from a
PDC signal.
The Just Clock option can be set to “ON” or “OFF” at the Clock Set

IMPORTANT:
If you turn off Just Clock, the accuracy of your unit’s built-in clock may
be reduced, which could adversely effect timer recording. We
recommend you to keep Just Clock on. In cases where the clock setting
data from a PDC signal is incorrect, however, you are advised to keep
Just Clock set to “OFF”.
