SAFETY FIRST
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. In addition, do not place TVs or other appliances
which tend to generate strong magnetic fields on top of the
unit as it may cause picture disturbance.
^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.
When installing the equipment, make sure there is a space
allowance of 10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the
rear of the equipment.
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.
DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
JVC shall not be liable for any loss relating to the unit’s failure to
properly record, store or playback any content (video, audio or
otherwise) for any reason whatsoever. Any applicable warranties
shall only cover replacement or repair of the effected unit, and shall
not apply to recovery or replacement of lost content.

File Structure Of Discs
DVD VIDEO
Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called
AtitlesB. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to
select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called
AchaptersB. 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 to stereo
due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter
marks at desired locations during playback. (Apg. 29)
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.
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. (Apg. 59)
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. (Apg. 30)
●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.

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 or 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 dirty 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.
