ª Surge Absorber
For further protection for this product, these models are equipped with new surge absorbing circuits which prevents damage due to power surges caused by lightning.
≥This function may not be effective for surges by direct lightning.
ª Dirt on the video heads
If the video heads get dirty, pictures will not be recorded or played back clearly. (See the following conditions.)
Normal picture Small amount of dirt Large amount of dirt
ª Crystal View Control
The crystal view control function ensures the optimum picture quality so that you get the best picture automatically.
ª Tapes
≥You can use tapes with the VHS and S-VHS marks, but this unit is unable to make full use of the characteristics of S-VHS tapes.
≥Break the tape’s tab to prevent accidental erasure. Cover the hole with a double layer of adhesive tape when you want to use the tape for recording again.
If this happens, insert and eject a cassette 5
–
10 times successively to remove the dirt from the video heads.
If the problem still persists after performing above, contact a service personnel.
Head cleaning by service agents is not covered by warranty.
Tab
ª S-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB)
It is possible to play back tapes recorded in the S-VHS system.
≥Some picture noise may occur depending on the type of tape used.
≥It is not possible to fully obtain the high resolution that S-VHS is capable of.
It is not possible to record in the S-VHS system with this unit.
Heads mainly become dirty because of scratched or dirty tapes, use of the unit under high temperature and humidity or under the dust and other reasons.
Never use tapes on which liquids have been spilt or those that are extremely damaged since these will cause not only the heads to become dirty, but also the unit malfunction.

¬ The NICAM Broadcast System (NV-VP31GN only)
NV-VP31GN is equipped with the NICAM sound system. NICAM is a 2-channel sound broadcast system to provide either a high quality stereo sound track or 2 independent MONO sound tracks, M1 and M2. NICAM programmes are always accompanied by standard sound broadcasts and you can select the desired sound with [AUDIO] during playback.

“ON” (OPTION
IMPORTANT
When NV-VP31GN is switched on, the tuner will be automatically switched to a NICAM broadcast, if NICAM is being transmitted.
At this time the NICAM signal is transmitted on stereo channels only, since the M1 and M2 formats are not yet available. Even if the sound track is MONO, the stereo indicator will appear.

Bitstream
Digitized and compressed audio signal
It is decoded by decoders into multi-channel audio signals, such as
5.1 channels.
Decoder
A device restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals are also compatible with 5.1-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.
Dolby Pro Logic
A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.
Film and video
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at, while video is recorded at 30 frames per second.
Frame and field
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. A frame is made up of 2 fields.
+
=
Frame Field Field
≥A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high.
≥A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still so picture quality is lower.
ID3 tag
An MP3 file has an area in which the character-based information referred to as ID3 tag, is stored. The information of the track, such as the title, artist name, etc. can be stored here. The information can be displayed on players supporting the ID3 tag when a track is played back. However, this unit cannot because it does not support the ID3 tag.
Interlace and progressive output
NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480P.
I/P/B
The DVD recording system shares the data commonly used by screens and uses screen-independent data individually for each screen to store the data on the disc efficiently.
≥I-picture (Intra coded picture):
A frame recorded independently as reference for commonly used data
≥P-picture (Predictive coded picture):
This picture is calculated based on past I- or P-pictures.
≥B-picture (Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture):
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I- and
P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.
I-picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on
CDs.
Multi-session
This means recording data onto a CD-R/CD-RW disc several times. “Read-in/Programme area/Read-out” of the data on a disc makes one session.
If data, such as music, is added onto a pre-recorded CD-R/RW disc, a new session will be added. Such a disc is referred to as a multisession disc.
Normal audio CD players can play back only the first session. On the other hand, this unit can play back 2 or more sessions.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus.
In this manual, playing back of the contents of a Video CD using the menu screen is referred to as “Menu play” for Video CD.
