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.

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

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
About Discs
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 with some
DVD-RAM, DVD-R/-RW, and CD-R/-RW discs 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.
This unit is not in compliance with DVD-RW Version 1.2.
When a DVD-R/RW disc (Video mode) is finalised (
pg. 98), it
can be played back on a standard DVD player as a DVD VIDEO
disc.
When a DVD-RW disc (VR mode) is finalised (
pg. 98), it can
be played back on a standard DVD player compatible with the
VR mode of DVD-RW discs.
Before finalising (
pg. 98) --
-- it is possible to record on unrecorded areas of the disc, edit
the disc title and programme titles, and delete programmes.
Before finalising, it is possible to play or record DVD-R/RW
(Video mode) discs only on this unit.
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 (
pg. 98) --
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 other manufacturers,
sometimes it may not be possible to play 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.
