On-Screen Disc Operations (see pages 21 to 25)

Operations Using the On-screen Bar:

For DVD-R/-RW in the VR format, “PG” or “PL” appears instead of “TITLE” on the on-screen bar.

Recording Operations (see pages 26 and 27)

Recording on a Tape:

The recording level is automatically set correctly. Thus, you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

There is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto at the start and the end of cassette tapes. Thus, when recording discs or radio broadcasts, wind the leader tape first to ensure that the recording will be made without any music part lost.

If no cassette or a protected tape is inserted, “NO REC” appears on the display.

You cannot change the source during recording.

Synchronized Disc Recording:

While recording, you cannot use ¢/4, ¡/1, DVD LEVEL, 3D PHONIC and source buttons.

You can adjust volume control, sound setting (Active Bass Extension and Sound Turbo) and sound mode but the settings do not affect the recording sound.

Everything on the disc goes onto the tape in the order on the disc, or according to the order you have made for Program Play.

You cannot use Repeat Play during synchronized recording (Repeat Play will be canceled).

Enjoying Karaoke (see pages 28 to 31)

Singing Along (Karaoke)

CA-MXDK5 only: Key control cannot be activated while DVD Audio is played.

Singing Along Using Stereo Discs—Vocal Masking:

Vocal Masking Mode setting is also applied to the optical digital output signals through the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT terminal.

On some music, Vocal Masking does not provide the correct effect.

Reserving Karaoke Songs—Karaoke Program Play

If DVD Audio (CA-MXDK5 only) or DVD-VR is loaded, you cannot use Karaoke Program Play.

Timer Operations (see pages 32 and 33)

Setting the Timer:

If you do not specify the preset station or track number correctly while setting a timer, the currently selected station or the first track will be played when the timer is activated.

When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the timer will be canceled. You need to set the clock first, then the timer again.

Without stopping the recording, you cannot change the source after Recording Timer starts recording.

If you set DVD Video/MPEG-1/MPEG-2/ASF/DivX as the source, Daily Timer will not work correctly.

Timer Priority:

If you set the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts playing the selected source, Daily Timer is canceled.

If you set the Sleep Timer after Recording Timer starts recording, Recording Timer is canceled, but recording continues until Sleep Timer shuts off the power.

Setup Menu Operations (see pages 34 and 35)

How to set the Initial Settings:

If the upper and lower parts of the menu are cut off, adjust the picture size control of the TV.

LANGUAGE menu:

When the language you have selected for MENU LANGUAGE, AUDIO LANGUAGE, or SUBTITLE is not recorded on a disc, the original language is used as the initial language.

PICTURE menu—MONITOR TYPE:

Even if “4:3 PS/4:3 MULTI PS” is selected, the screen size may become 4:3 letter box with some DVD Video discs. This depends on how the discs are recorded.

When you select “16:9/16:9 MULTI” for a picture whose aspect ratio is 4:3, the picture slightly changes due to the process for converting the picture width.

AUDIO menu—DOWN MIX:

This setting is not effective when DTS multi-channel software is played back.

OTHERS menu—ON SCREEN GUIDE:

The setup menu and on-screen bar will be displayed (and recorded) even though this function is set to “OFF.” Subtitles and the information for zoom-in always appear on the display regardless of this setting.
