SAFETY FIRST
When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make sure
that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation
(10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be
considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of
these batteries must be followed strictly.
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in
damage to the unit, remote control or disc.
1. DO NOT place the unit —
— in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or
humidity.
— in direct sunlight.
— in a dusty environment.
— in an environment where strong magnetic fields are
generated.
— on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.
2. DO NOT block the unit’s ventilation openings or holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper
or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the unit or remote control.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the unit
or remote control.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or
electric shock may be caused.)
5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.
6. DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places with
water. Also DO NOT place any containers filled with water or
liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted
plants, cups, etc.) on top of this unit.
7. DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted
candles, on the apparatus.
8. AVOID violent shocks to the unit during transport.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
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.

DISC INFORMATION
Recordable/playable Discs
You can use discs with the following logos for recording and
playback.
●The above table is based on the information as of February 2004.
●Recording and playback may not be performed depending on the
characteristics and condition of the disc used, leading to
unsatisfactory results. Using discs manufactured by JVC is
recommended since they have been tested to be compatible with this
unit.
DVD-RAM Discs
It is only possible to use discs which conform with DVD-RAM
standard Version 2.0 or 2.1.
●It is impossible to record on DVD-RAM discs which do not conform to
this standard. If you use a disc formatted under a different standard
version, format it on this unit before use.
●It may not be possible to record, play back, edit or dub a DVD-RAM
disc even if it conforms to the standard if it was recorded or edited on
the devices from other manufacturers or on a PC, or if it has far too
many titles, or if there is very little available capacity remaining on the
disc.
●Some DVD-RAM discs are contained in a cartridge. This unit cannot
handle this type of disc. Remove the disc from the cartridge (only
discs with a removable cartridge); or the use of DVD-RAM discs not
contained in a cartridge is recommended.
●DVD-RAM discs recorded on this unit cannot be played back on an
incompatible DVD player.
●It is possible to record copy-once programmes of digital broadcasts
only onto 4.7/9.4 GB DVD-RAM discs (2.8 GB DVD-RAM discs are
not compatible).
DVD-R/RW Discs
It is only possible to use DVD-R discs which conform with DVD-R
standard Version 2.0.
When a DVD-R/RW disc (Video mode) is finalised (墌pg. 87), it
can be played back on a standard DVD player as a DVD VIDEO
disc.
When a DVD-RW disc (VR mode) is finalised (墌pg. 87), it can be
played back on a standard DVD player compatible with the VR
mode of DVD-RW discs.
Before finalising —
— it is possible to record on unrecorded areas of the disc, edit the
disc title and programme titles, and delete programmes.
●It is impossible to record or edit DVD-R/RW discs recorded on other
devices even if they have not been finalised.
●It is impossible to overwrite recorded areas of DVD-R discs.
●Available recording capacity does not increase even if a recorded
programme is deleted from a DVD-R disc.
After finalising —
After a DVD-R/RW disc (Video mode) has been finalised, it is
possible to play back the recorded programmes (video and/or
audio) on a standard DVD video player as a DVD VIDEO disc.
●Edited titles are displayed as the
“DVD menu” in video mode.
●It is impossible to record, edit or
delete the data either in video
mode or in VR mode.
●Either in video mode or in VR
mode, although the disc can be
played back on DVD players from

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. (墌pg. 27)
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
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. (墌pg. 64)
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. (墌pg. 28)
●Regarding the contents recorded on discs
Some files may not be played back depending on the file types and other
factors.

DISC INFORMATION
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.
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.
