Recording Medium and Format  
File Structure of Discs  
DVD-RAM  
DVD VIDEO  
Recording and erasing can be performed as many times as  
possible on a disc.  
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.  
Editing can be performed after recording, such as deleting  
unwanted parts.  
While recording, it is possible not only to start playback of a  
programme currently being recorded, but also to watch  
another programme previously recorded.  
When you record a programme on a DVD-RAM/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 or  
bilingual to stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also  
possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during  
playback. (pg. 32)  
DVD-RW (VR mode)  
Recording and erasing can be performed as many times as  
possible on a disc.  
Editing can be performed after recording, such as deleting  
unwanted parts.  
When you record a programme on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode)  
disc  
DVD-RW (Video mode)  
Can be played back on other DVD players.  
New recording can be performed by erasing all the data on a  
disc once played back.  
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 finalised, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter  
marks are assigned automatically approximately every 5  
minutes.

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

Recording side  
Make sure that discs are not scratched and 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 dirt when removed from  
cartridge then put back in after use.  
Pressing the button on the unit or on the remote control again  
closes the disc tray.  
Use the buttons on the unit or on the remote control 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.  
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!  
Discs without cartridges  
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.

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.  
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.  
DVD-RAM discs contained in cartridges  
Double-sided discs:  
Align the cartridge with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in  
the illustration and insert with the label side you wish to play  
back or record facing up. If you insert the disc with label “Side  
A” facing up, programs are recorded on the side A.  
Single-sided discs:  
Align the cartridge with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in  
the illustration and insert with the label side facing up.

NOTES:  
Free Rate Function  
You can programme this unit to timer-record, regardless of the  
disc remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not  
enough, recording may stop in the middle of a programme. To  
avoid this, make sure of the disc remaining time before setting  
timer-programming.  
To record the entire programme, the unit automatically set the  
appropriate recording speed depending on the combination of  
the total time of the programme to be recorded and either the  
remaining disc space or the specified recording time (from 60  
minutes to 480 minutes).  
(Example) If you programmed to timer-record for 60 minutes  
in SP mode on a 120-minute disc, the disc remaining time  
would be 30 minutes in XP mode, 60 minutes in SP mode,  
120 minutes in LP mode, 180 minutes in EP mode, and 240  
minutes in FR480 mode. Timer-recording will not complete  
beyond these remaining times.  
The maximum recording time of FR (JUST) mode is the same  
as the recording time of FR480 mode. When timer-  
programming a long programme in FR (JUST) mode on a disc  
whose remaining time is short, it is recommended checking  
the disc remaining time in FR480 mode to see if the remaining  
time is enough for the programme.  
Even if more than one programme are timer-programmed in  
FR (JUST) mode, only the first one is recorded.  
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.  
To record the entire programme within the actual  
remaining disc space  
Select FR (JUST)in a recording speed selection procedure.

DVD is specified to have each sound track constitute one sound  
field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having  
three or more channels.  
8Composite video signal

combined: an image signal made up of luminance and  
chrominance signals using the frequency multiplication  
technique; burst signal providing the basis for colour  
reproduction; and synchronization signal.  
8Multilanguage  
When a title is created to cope with multiple languages, it is  
generally called a multilanguage title.  
8NTSC (National television system committee)  
A black and white and colour television system format used in  
the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.

parental lock level (a measure of undesirability of scenes, etc.  
from educational viewpoint) set for the software beforehand  
with that set on this system by the user; if the softwares level is  
less restrictive than the user-set level, it will be reproduced.  
8Dolby Digital (AC-3)  
A six-channel system consisting of left, centre, right, left rear,  
right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a  
sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital  
domain.  
Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of  
information.  
8Playback control (PBC)

given to a disc includes a numeral which matches one in the  
Region Code of a player, the player can play back the disc.

later processing, with no data compression used in conversion.  
8MP3  
A file format with a sound data compression system. MP3is
