This manual is organized as follows:
· This manual mainly explains playback operations
using the remote control, and the other operation
such as recording and editing operations using the
buttons and controls on the unit.
You can use the buttons and controls both on the
remote control and on the unit for the same
operations if they have the same or similar names (or
marks), unless mentioned otherwise.
· Basic and common information that is the same for
many functions is grouped in one place, and is not
repeated in each procedure. For instance, we do not
repeat the information about turning on/off the unit,
setting the volume, changing the sound effects, and
others, which are explained in the section "Basic and
Common Operations" on pages 10 ­ 16.
