File Structure Of Discs

DVD VIDEO

Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called "titles". Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called "chapters". Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that can also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs are not divided into titles and chapters.

When you record a program on a DVD-RAM/R/RW (VR mode) disc

A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural to stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during playback. (wpp. pg. 25)

When you record a program on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode) disc

A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during either recording or playback. Once the disc has been finalized, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter marks are assigned automatically approximately every 5 minutes.

• In Video mode, even before finalizing, it is impossible to perform editing operations other than changing the disc name and/or title names and deleting programs and/or titles.

Audio CD/Video CD/SVCD

Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video CD/SVCD discs.

However, some discs are not divided into tracks.

JPEG/MP3 Disc (CD-R/RW/ROM)

MP3/JPEG files put in directories nested in several levels on a disc will be organized as if they were put in single level directories (groups) by the MP3/JPEG Navigation of this unit. (v ^5 pg. 45)

File structure of the disc after starting the MP3/JPEG Navigation

Files are automatically grouped as follows and displayed on the MP3/JPEG Navigation screen. Data is displayed in the alphabetical order of file name. Files are grouped based on roots.

• This unit can recognize up to 9 hierarchies including directories and files.
  Also, it can recognize up to 250 files in each group, and up to 99 groups on a disc.

NOTES:

●Video CD/SVCD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)

The contents of a disc are recorded into several hierarchies, and played back according to the instructions on the screen while navigating through the hierarchies. It is also possible to playback recorded tracks consecutively without activating the PBC function even when playing a PBC-compatible disc. (r=pg. 26)

- Regarding the contents recorded on discs

Some files may not be played back depending on the file types and other factors.

DVD VIDEO Marks

Sometimes marks are printed on a DVD disc and/or on its packaging to indicate information regarding the contents and functions of the disc. Check the marks indicating the contents and functions of the disc. Note, however, that in some cases a disc may not include a mark even for a function it supports.

Marks related to video

Opening the disc tray

Press ▲ to open the disc tray.

Front view of a computer monitor with control buttons and an upward arrow indicator (no text or symbols on the device itself)

• Pressing the button again closes the disc tray.
• Use the button to open and close the disc tray.
• Do not block the disc tray with your hand while it is opening or closing as this may result in hardware failure.
• Do not place unplayable discs or any object other than a disc on the disc tray.
• Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy objects on it.

Discs without cartridges

Disc tray

Place the disc on the disc tray with the label side facing up. Since disc size changes depending on the disc to be played back, be sure to correctly align the disc with the grooves for its size. If the disc is not in its groove, it may be scratched or otherwise damaged. To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.

DVD-RAM discs contained in cartridges

Double-sided discs:

Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the side you wish to play back or record facing down. If you insert the disc with "Side A" facing down, programs are recorded on the side A.

Single-sided discs:

Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the label side facing up.

Care And Handling Of Discs

How to handle discs

When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc.

Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily

damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the unit to malf

Label side

Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesives on its surface.

Recording side

Make sure that discs are not scratched or dirty on the recording side before use. Scratches and dirt on the recording side of a disc may hinder proper playback and recording. Also be careful that a DVD-RAM disc may get scratched or dirty when removed from cartridge then put back in after use.

Storage

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the centre outwards.

If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.

CAUTION:

Sometimes during playback, noise may appear or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.)

These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.

Life Span Of Parts

Cooling fan

Periodical inspection and maintenance are requisite to maintain the initial performance and reliability of the product.

We recommend the exchange of the fan motor every three years.

HDD

The HDD is a consumable part. Please arrange for maintenance after an estimated usage of 10,000 hours (this estimation is based on usage under the environment of 25^ C, it may differ depending on the usage environment).

Please consult your authorized dealer or nearest JVC service center on the maintenance and cost.

Recording Mode

MPEG2 format is used as recording format. As a guide for picture quality, the "bps" unit is used to represent how much data can be recorded per second. The larger this value is, the better the picture quality becomes but more capacity is required for the recording. Select XP or SP for programs where quick movement occurs, such as sports programs, and LP or EP for talk shows, etc. with relatively less movement.

The recording modes for a 4.7 GB disc are set as follows:

Recording mode Recording amount(approx.)			Maximum recording time (approx.)
XP 10 Mbps 1 hour
SP 5 Mbps 2 hours
LP		2.5 Mbps	4 hours
EP		1.6 Mbps	6 hours
FR	60-360	The amount varies depending on the selected time.	1 – 6 hours
	420		7 hours
	480		8 hours

- For details on FR mode, refer to "Free Rate Function" on the right column.

The recording modes for the HDD are set as follows:

Recording mode	Maximum recording time (approx.)
DV	18 hours
XP	53 hours
SP	109 hours
LP	218 hours
EP	328 hours
FR480	473 hours

- For details on FR mode, refer to "Free Rate Function".

NOTE:

The maximum recording time stated in the above table are the approximate time under unused condition.

Free Rate Function

To record the entire program, the unit automatically sets the appropriate recording mode depending on the combination of the total time of the program to be recorded and either the remaining disc space or the specified recording time (from 60 minutes to 480 minutes).

■To record the entire program within the actual remaining disc space (DVD deck only)

Select "FR (JUST)" in a recording mode selection procedure.

- Note that this function is available only when dubbing from HDD to DVD (r=pg. 46).

■To record the entire program by specifying the desired recording time

■To record a 25-min. long program five times on the same DVD disc for example

Be sure to set the recording mode to "FR125" to fit the total recording time to the whole disc space.

When the same program is recorded in SP mode instead of in "FR125", the 5th program cannot be recorded.

NOTES:

• The maximum recording time of FR (JUST) mode is the same as the recording time of FR480 mode. When dubbing a long program in FR (JUST) mode on a disc whose remaining time is short, it is recommended to check the disc remaining time in FR480 mode to see if the remaining time is enough for the program.
• In order to ensure that the recording fits on the disc, this feature may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of the disc.
• There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the disc where the unit switches the mode.
