Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted
while the TV program reception is clear. Dirt accumulated
on the video heads after a long period of use, or the
usage of rental or worn tapes can cause this problem. If
a streaky or snowy picture appears during playback, the
video heads in your unit may need to be cleaned.

good quality VHS video head cleaner.
2. If a video head cleaner does not solve the problem,
please consult your dealer or an Authorized Service
Center.

high-quality video with stereo sound on recordable DVD
discs. The technology, when utilized instead of PCM
recording, also saves recordable disc space, allowing for
higher video resolution or extended recording time on
each DVD. DVDs created using Dolby Digital Recording
will play back on all DVD-video players.
Note: This is true when the players are compatible with
actual recordable DVD discs.
Editing

Basic Setup
Cleaning the Cabinet
If the remote control does not work properly, you can test if
the remote control sends out the infrared signal with AM
radio or a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular
phone). It will help to define the cause of malfunction.
With an AM radio:
Tune an AM radio to a station with no
broadcasting. Press a button on remote
control toward the radio. Sound will be
fluttering when you press any key and the
radio receives the signal. This means the
remote control is working.
With a digital camera (including built-in camera of
cellular phone):
Direct a digital camera to remote control,
press and hold a button on remote control. If
infrared light appears through digital camera,
the remote control is working.

Copyright protection system

To play back the digital video images of a DVD via
an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the
player and the display device (or an AV amplifier)
support a copyright protection system called HDCP
(high-bandwidth digital content protection
system). HDCP is copy protection technology that
comprises data encryption and authentication of
the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP.
Please read the operating instructions of your
display device (or AV amplifier) for more
information.
*HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface
The HDMI mode that is not supported by display device will be skipped.
Note
Some devices with an HDMI input may not operate properly with this unit.
When using an HDCP-incompatible display device, the image will not be viewed properly.
Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI connector; however, this unit cannot be
controlled by another device via the HDMI connector.
The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length) may be limited
by the device that is connected.
Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (for example, projectors). In connections with device such as
this unit, audio signals are not output from the HDMI output connector.
When this units HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI-DVI converter cable, the
signals are output in digital RGB.
When the power failure occurs, or when you unplug the unit, some problems in the HDMI setting might occur. Please check and set the
HDMI setting again.
HDMI video resolution cannot be changed when the unit is in VCR mode.

Function Setup
This unit cannot record to CD-RW or CD-R.

All high definition pictures will be down converted to
the standard definition pictures when they are
recorded on this unit.
DVD-RW/-R, DVD+RW/+R and CD-RW/-R recorded on
a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may
not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or
if there is condensation on the players lens.
If you record a disc using a personal computer, even
if it is recorded in a compatible format it may not be
played back because of the settings of the
application software used to create the disc. (Check
with the software publisher for more detailed
information.)
Discs recorded in video mode on this unit cannot
record additional information using other DVD
recorders.
Since the recording is made by the VBR (variable bit
rate) method, depending on the picture you are
recording, the actual remaining time for recording
may be a little shorter than the remaining time
displayed on the TV screen.

Management
The recording times listed above are estimates and are

for reference purposes only. Actual recording times may
vary.
The audio and video quality of content being recorded
may differ depending on the recording mode/recording
time chosen.
What is CPRM?
CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system
regarding the recording of copy-once broadcast
programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for
Recordable Media.
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can
record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot
make another copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings
can only be made on CPRM compatible DVD-RW formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played
back on DVD players that are specifically compatible with
CPRM.

Note for DivX

DivX is a codec (compression/decompression) that can
compress images to a very small amount of data. The
software can compress video data from almost any devices to
the size that can be sent on the Internet without
compromising visual quality of the images.
A file with an extension of .avi and .divx is called an DivX
file. All files with the .avi extension are recognized as
MPEG4.
Files whose extension other than .avi and .divx will not be
listed on the DivX menu. However, unplayable folders and
files may be displayed, depending on the recording
conditions.
Even if the file has an extension of either .avi and .divx,
this unit cannot play it back if it is recorded in the format
other than DivX.
A symbol of
is shown on the top of the file name.
A maximum of 255 folders or 999 files may be recognized in a
disc.
Up to 8 hierarchies can be recognized in a folder. Files in the
9th or deeper hierarchies cannot be played back.
If there are more than 9 files, a down arrow appears,
indicating that the user can view another part on the
previous page. The current page number and the number of
total pages are shown on the bottom of the screen.
Letters of a file/folder name overflowing the given space will
be displayed as .
You can play back the disc recorded in multi-session.
It may take awhile for audio and images to be output after
you inserted a disc and pressed [PLAY B].
When playing back the files recorded in high bit rates, the
images can be interrupted in some occasions.
Although DivX logo has been obtained for this unit, it may
not be able to play back some data, depending on the
characteristics, bit rates, or audio format settings, etc.
A DivX file whose file size exceeds 2 GB cannot be played
back.
If a large-sized DivX file is selected, it may take awhile to
start the playback (over 20 seconds sometimes).
If you try to playback the DivX file that has the screen
resolution which this unit does not support, the playback will
be stopped and error message will appear.

the rate, the better the sound quality.
Recording
An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During

recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals
(44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analogto-digital converter, generating a stream of numbers.
On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates
an analog signal based on these numbers. See also
Sampling Frequency and Analog Audio.
Regions associate discs and players with particular areas

of the world. This unit will only play back discs that have
compatible region codes. You can find the region code
of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are
