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.

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 October 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.

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).

Although this unit supports 3x speed DVD-RAM discs, dubbing

cannot be achieved at 3x speed.

DVD-R/RW Discs

It is only possible to use DVD-R discs which conform with DVD-R

standard Version 2.0.

Although this unit supports 8x speed DVD-R and 4x speed

DVD-RW discs, dubbing cannot be achieved at 8x speed and 4x

speed respectively.

When a DVD-R/RW disc (Video mode) is finalised (A pg. 88), it

can be played back on a standard DVD player as a DVD VIDEO

disc.

When a DVD-RW disc (VR mode) is finalised (A pg. 88), 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

ADVD menuB 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

other manufacturers, sometimes it

may not be possible to play back depending on the disc and

recording conditions.

It is impossible to record on CD-R/RW or DVD-R discs used for

authoring.

It is impossible to record onto DVD-R/RW (Video mode) discs

broadcasts that allow you to copy once. The copy once

programmes can only be recorded onto DVD-RW discs formatted

in VR mode.

NOTE:

The following may result if you play back a DVD-R disc recorded

on another unit.

The disc does not play.

A mosaic pattern (block noise) appears on the screen.

Video or audio may be dropped out.

The unit stops during playback.
