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.
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.
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment,
care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment)
are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or
changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way^switch off,
withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has
a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special
arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of road safety. It is illegal to
watch television whilst driving.
DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON'T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten
the life of the equipment.
DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws^to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer's approved
stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

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).
DVD-R/RW Discs
It is only possible to use DVD-R discs which conform with DVD-R
standard Version 2.0.
When a DVD-R/RW disc (Video mode) is finalised (A pg. 79), 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. 79), 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.
