Placing a Disc
Care and Handling of Discs
How to handle discs
1 Open the disc tray.
When handling a disc, do
Press OPEN/CLOSE (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.
x
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive
on its surface.
Storage
● 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.
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.
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
CAUTION
scratched or otherwise damaged.
● To insert an 8 cm disc, place it
according to the inner groove.
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.

sure not to engage the Satellite Auto Recording mode;
otherwise, the unit will start recording when the connected
appliance’s power is turned on.
● Satellite Auto Recording and timer-recording cannot be
done at the same time.
This function allows you to automatically record a
satellite program which is timer-programed on your
external DBS receiver. Connect a DBS receiver to the
unit’s AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT (L-1) connectors and
program the timer on the DBS receiver. The unit starts or
stops recording by the signals input from the DBS
receiver. After recording, the unit’s power shuts off
automatically.
Before performing the following steps:
● Make sure the DBS receiver is connected to the unit’s
AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT (L-1) connectors.
● You can also connect the cable box if it has a timer.

Recording will not work properly with that DBS receiver*. If this is the case, perform “Express Timer Programing” (੬ pg. 36) to
timer-record a satellite program.
* Some DBS receivers output signals even if the power is off. Satellite Auto Recording is not possible with those DBS receivers.
● The “N” indicator blinks while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress.
● For timer programing of the DBS receiver, refer to the instruction manual of the DBS receiver.
● Satellite Auto Recording is not possible if your DBS receiver does not have a timer.
● Pressing the unit’s POWER (1) button while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress turns off the unit’s power and disengages the
Satellite Auto Recording mode.
● If there are more than one satellite programs you wish to record with Satellite Auto Recording, it is not possible to set different tape
speeds for each program.
● Depending on the type of DBS receiver, the unit may not record a slight portion of the beginning of the program or may record
slightly longer than the actual length of the program.
● If you engage the Satellite Auto Recording mode when the DBS receiver’s power is on, the unit will not start Satellite Auto Recording
even though the “N” and “#” indicators blink. When the DBS receiver shuts off once and is turned back on again, the unit starts
recording.
● You can also record a program from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer.

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
This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the MP3 format (we
refer to those discs as MP3 discs in this manual).
● 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 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.
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).
MP3 control display
The MP3 control display appears on the TV screen and playback
starts when an MP3 disc is loaded.

This unit can recognize up to 99 Groups and up to 150 Tracks
per Group.
If a disc includes more than the Tracks above limit, the unit stops
detecting Tracks when the number of detected Tracks reaches the
limit and ignores the subsequent Tracks. The unit also ignores
any non-MP3 file in the disc.
Current group
* Elapsed playing time of current track
Elapsed playing time is only shown during playback.
NOTES for making a private MP3 disc using a CD-R/
CD-RW disc:
● Select “ISO9660” as the disc format.
● Finalize the disc.

NOTES:
● We recommend to 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 longer time to be displayed.)
About JPEG Disc
This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the JPEG format
(we refer to those discs as JPEG discs in this manual).
Operations for JPEG discs are similar to those for Audio CD
discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.
● This unit can only play back baseline JPEG files*. Progressive
JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played back.
* 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.
● Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.
● 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 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.
What is JPEG?
JPEG is the abbreviation of “Joint Photographic Expert Group.”
JPEG is a still-picture data compression system.
On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file, which
usually belongs to a Group (folder).
● The unit plays back Groups/Files on an JPEG 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]. Files in a Group are played back in the same way.
● Therefore, an JPEG disc on the market may be played back in
the different order from the order printed on its sleeve.

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 program 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
program 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 program 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.
