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. When you record a programme on a DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode) disc A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural or bilingual to stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during playback. ( pg. 32) When you record a programme on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode) disc A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during either recording or playback. Once the disc has been finalised, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter marks are assigned automatically approximately every 5 minutes. ●In Video mode, even before finalising, it is impossible to perform editing operations other than changing the disc name and/or title names and deleting programmes and/or titles. ●After finalising, it is impossible to perform editing operations. Audio CD/Video CD/SVCD 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/SVCD discs. However, some discs are not divided into tracks. S DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R or DVD VIDEO disc Title 1 Title 2 Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Audio CD or Video CD/SVCD Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4

JPEG/MP3 Disc (CD-R/RW/ROM) MP3/JPEG files put in directories nested in several levels on a disc will be organized as if they were put in single level directories (groups) by the MP3/JPEG Navigation of this unit. ( pg. 76) File structure of a disc before starting the MP3/JPEG Navigation File structure of the disc after starting the MP3/JPEG Navigation Files are automatically grouped as follows and displayed on the MP3/JPEG Navigation screen. Data is displayed in the alphabetical order of file name. Files are grouped based on roots. ●This unit can recognise up to 9 hierarchies including directories and files. Also, it can recognise up to 250 files in each group, and up to 99 groups on a disc. NOTES: ●Video CD/SVCD discs that support Playback Control (PBC) The contents of a disc are recorded into several hierarchies, and played back according to the instructions on the screen while navigating through the hierarchies. It is also possible to playback recorded tracks consecutively without activating the PBC function even when playing a PBC-compatible disc. ( pg. 34) ●Regarding the contents recorded on discs Some files may not be played back depending on the file types and other factors. 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 the disc. Check the marks indicating the contents and functions of the disc. Note, however, that in some cases a disc may not include a mark even for a function it supports.

Opening the disc tray Press x on the unit or remote control to open the disc tray. ●Pressing the button on the unit or on the remote control again closes the disc tray. ●Use the buttons on the unit or on the remote control to open and close 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 on the disc tray. ●Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy objects on it. 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 scratched or otherwise damaged. To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove. DVD-RAM discs contained in cartridges Double-sided discs: Align the cartridge with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the label side you wish to play back or record facing up. If you insert the disc with label “Side A” facing up, programs are recorded on the side A. Single-sided discs: Align the cartridge with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the label side facing up. 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 adhesives on its surface. 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. 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 centre 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.

To record the entire programme, the unit automatically set the appropriate recording speed depending on the combination of the total time of the programme to be recorded and either the remaining disc space or the specified recording time (from 60 minutes to 480 minutes). To record the entire programme within the actual remaining disc space Select “FR (JUST)” in a recording speed selection procedure. ( pg. 55, 57) ●Note that this function is available only for timer programming recording. To record the entire programme by specifying the desired recording time Select “FR60–FR360”, “FR420” or “FR480” in a recording speed selection procedure. ( pg. 51, 55, 57) To record a 25-min. long daily programme five times just on a same disc for example Perform “SHOWVIEW ® Timer Programming” ( pg. 54) procedure. Be sure to set the recording speed to “FR125” and set Weekly/Daily Rec Function to “MON–FRI” in step E to fit the total recording time to the whole disc space. When the same programme is recorded in SP mode instead of in “FR125”, the 5th programme cannot be recorded. 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 checking 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. Receiving Stereo and Bilingual Programmes Your unit is equipped with a Sound-Multiplex decoder (A2) and a 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. NOTES: ●“SUPERIMPOSE” must be set to “AUTO”. Otherwise the on-screen displays will not appear. ( pg. 95) ●If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the broadcast might be received in monaural with better quality. Selection of the audio channel to be recorded on a disc When a programme is recorded on a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc in VR mode, all audio channels of the receiving programme are recorded on the disc. When you record a programme on a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc in video mode, select the desired audio channel (from among “NICAM 1/MAIN”, “NICAM 2/SUB”, “MONO”) to be recorded on the disc.

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 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. B Press DISPLAY again to return to normal display.

On-Disc Timer Programming On-Disc Timer Programming is a function used with discs that are especially intended for a specific programme.
