You cannot use Karaoke Scoring during Program Play,
Random Play, or recording. However, you can turn
Karaoke Scoring on and off by using KARAOKE
SCORING button during these play modes.
The ranking (top 3) is cleared when you turn off the
System.
For some VCD, the Karaoke Scoring result may not appear
at the end of the track if PBC is activated. In this case, press
7 to view your scoring result.
Reserving Karaoke Songs—Karaoke Program Play:
You can use RESERVE button when a microphone is
plugged in. However, you can cancel Karaoke Program
Play using the button even if a microphone is not plugged
in. In case you reactivate Karaoke Program Play, plug in a
microphone.
If you have selected a disc tray on which a disc containing
Video files or JPEG file or DVD-VR is loaded, that disc
number is skipped.
If DVD-VR or a disc containing Video files and JPEG file
is loaded on the current tray, you cannot activate Karaoke
Program Play.
When the track starts playback, that track number will be
erased from the Karaoke Reserve screen (the programmed
contents will remain until you erase it).
While the PROGRAM indicator is flashing, you cannot
change the disc to play. (DISC 1 – 5 on the remote control
and 3 on the main unit do not work.)
Timer Operations (see pages 42 to 43)
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 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 while Recording Timer is recording.
Daily Timer will not work correctly for some DVDs.
Setup Menu Operations (see pages 44 to 45)
General:
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 disc. This depends
on how they are recorded.
When you select “16:9 NORMAL/16:9 MULTI
NORMAL” or “16:9 AUTO/16:9 MULTI AUTO” for a
picture whose aspect ratio is 4:3, the picture slightly
changes due to the process for converting the picture width.
SPK. SETTING menu—DELAY:
See the following diagram as an example for setting the
delay time:
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.

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs,
tapes and mechanism clean.

Handling discs

Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge
while pressing the center hole lightly.
Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.
Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when
placing it back in its case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures,
and moisture.
To clean the disc:
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center
to edge.

Handling cassette tapes

If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up the slack by
inserting a pencil in one of the reels and rotate it.
If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or caught in
the cassette.
• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.
• Avoid the following places to store the tape—in dusty
places, in direct sunlight or heat, in moist areas, on a TV or
speaker, or near a magnet.
To keep the best recording and playback sound quality:
Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol to clean the
heads, capstans and pinch rollers.
