Cleaning the cabinet
• Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the
unit with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
• Never use a solvent, thinner, benzene or alcohol to
clean the unit. Do not spray insecticide liquid near the
unit. Such chemicals may discolor the surface or
damage the unit.
Cleaning discs
• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning
cloth. Wipe the disc from the center to out. Do not
wipe in a circular motion.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, detergent, abrasive
cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analog
records.
Cleaning the disc lens
• If this unit still does not perform properly although you
refer to the relevant sections and to
“TROUBLESHOOTING” in this user manual, the laser
optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your dealer or
an Authorized Service Center for inspection and
cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.
Disc handling
• Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not
adhere to the surfaces of the discs.
• Always store the disc in its protective case when it is
not used.
Dolby Digital Recording
“Dolby® Digital Recording enables consumers to record
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.
Installation Location
Maintenance
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.

*HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface
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.
Note
• When using 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 vice the HDMI connector.
• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit
length) maybe 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 unit’s 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.

Enter the major and minor channel number with [the
Number buttons] to select a channel you want to watch.
For 1-digit number
e.g.) 2-2 ch:
major channel [0] + [2] or [2] + [•]
minor channel [0] + [2], [2] + [•] or
[2] + leave it for 2 seconds.
For 2-digit number
e.g.) 35-16ch:
major channel [3] + [5]
minor channel [1] + [6]
• If you enter 1 digit for major channel and leave it for 2
seconds, the number will be taken as the major channel
and lowest minor channel of the major channel will be
displayed.
• If there is no minor channel input, lowest minor channel
of the major channel will be displayed.
Note
• It may take up to 5 to 7 seconds to switch the digital
TV channels.
• In digital TV broadcasting, 2 or more channels, called
minor channels, are simultaneously broadcast on one
main channel, called major channel.
About digital TV broadcasting:
With its high definition broadcast, digital broadcasting far
surpasses analog broadcasting in both its picture and
sound quality.
What is the minor channel?
By using high compression technology, digital
broadcasting offers a service that enables multiple signals
to send simultaneously.
Therefore, you can select more than one program per
major channel since digital broadcasting technology
distinguishes between multiple channels broadcast by a
signal network.

time becomes longer.
• Each time [REC MODE] is pressed, recording mode and
its allowed recording time will be displayed.
• Following discs are recommended for good recording
quality and are proven to be compatible with this unit.
However, depending on the media condition the unit
may not read the disc properly.

Performance of any other discs are not guaranteed.
• You can play back DVD+RW on most DVD players
without finalizing. However, if you have added or
deleted chapters, or made chapters hidden, you
must perform “Make Edits Compatible” before being
able to see those effects on other units. (Refer to
page 83 for more details.) To play back discs other
than DVD+RW on other DVD players, you will need
to finalize.
Note

not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or
if there is condensation on the player’s 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.)
• 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.
• You cannot record copy-protected program using
this unit. (Copy-protected signal is included in DVD-
video or some satellite broadcasts.)
• You cannot record “copy-once only” program on

Analog Audio
An electrical signal that directly represents sound.
Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical
signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also
“Digital Audio”.
Aspect Ratio
The width of a TV screen relative to its height.
Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the TV screen
is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the TV
screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).
Chapter
Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a
DVD is usually divided into chapters. See also “Title”.
Component Video Output
Each signal of luminance (Y) and component (PB/CB, PR/
C
R) is independent to output so that you can experience
picture color as it is.
Also, due to compatibility with progressive video
(525p/480p), you can experience higher-density picture
than that in interlace (525i/480i).
Digital Audio
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 analog-
to-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”.
DivX®
DivX® is a codec (compression/decompression) that can
compress images to a very small amount of data.
Dolby Digital
The system to compress digital sound developed by
Dolby Laboratories. It offers you sound of stereo(2ch) or
multi channel audio.
Finalize
To make DVD, which have been recorded on, possible to
play back in DVD players. With this unit, it is possible to
finalize DVD+R, DVD-RW, and DVD-R.
HDMI (high definition multimedia interface)
A digital interface between audio and video source. It can
transmit component video, audio, and control signal with
one cable connection.
JPEG (joint photographic experts group)
JPEG is a method of compressing still image files. You can
copy JPEG files on CD-RW/-R from a computer and play
back the files on this unit.
MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3)
MP3 is a method of compressing files. You can copy MP3
files on CD-RW/-R from the computer and play back the
files on this unit.
PBC (playback control) (video CD only)
This function enables you to play back interactive
software using a menu screen. See also “Video CD”.
PCM (pulse code modulation)
The most common system of encoding digital audio,
found on CD and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a
lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital
and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio
recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with
digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital and
MPEG audio to PCM. See also “Digital Audio”.
Progressive Scan (525p/480p)
A type of display that does not split each frame into
fields, and instead scans directly through all the scanlines
of each frame in order. Progressive scan provides less
flickering and higher image resolution than traditional
(525i/480i) TV signals. Refer to page 94 for instructions on
selective progressive scan mode.
Region Code
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
compatible with more than one region (or all regions).
Sampling Frequency
The rate which sound is measured by a specified interval
to turn into digital audio data. The numbers of sampling
in one second defines as sampling frequency. The higher
the rate, the better the sound quality.
SAP (secondary audio program)
Sub-audio channel which is delivered separately from
main-audio channel. This audio channel is used as an
alternate in bilingual broadcasting.
S-Video Output
It delivers independently each signal of color(C) and
luminance(Y) to TV as video signals, so that higher-quality
picture will be gained.
Title (DVD only)
A collection of chapters on DVD. See also “Chapter”.
Track
Audio CD use tracks to divide up the content of a
disc. The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also
“Chapter”.
Video CD
A digital format for store video data in compact disc.
Windows Media™ Audio
Windows Media™ Audio is the audio compressing
technology developed by Microsoft. You can copy
Windows Media™ Audio files on CD-RW/-R from a
computer and play them back on this unit.
