Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) disc itself, some

•

Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.

Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped or octagonal). Doing so may result in malfunctions.

Depending on the recording software & the finalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW or DVD±R/RW)

may not be playable.

•

DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a personal computer or a DVD or CD

Recorder may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or condensation on the Recorder’s

lens.

If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are

cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc.

(Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

DivX is the name of a revolutionary new video codec

which is based on the new MPEG-4 compression

standard for video.You will be able to play DivX

movies using this recorder.

DVD +R (Double Layer)

Double layer recording technology offers two record-

able layers on a single DVD disc, providing nearly

double the capacity of 4.7GB single layer DVDs. The

greatest, most valuable benefit of double layer

recording technology is increased capacity. Storage

space is nearly doubled with double layer DVD+R

media, allowing consumers to burn up to 8.5GB of

video on a single DVD+R disc.

PBC: Playback Control (Video CD only)

Playback control is available for Video CD (VCD) ver-

sion 2.0 disc formats. PBC allows you to interact with

the system via menus, search functions, or other typi-

cal computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures

of high resolution can be played if they are included

in the disc. Video CDs not equipped with PBC

DVD ±R / DVD ±RW

(Version 1.1) operate in the same way as audio CDs.

DVD -R and DVD +R are two different standards for

recordable DVD drives and discs. This format allows

information to be recorded onto the DVD disc only

once. DVD +RW and DVD -RW are two standards for

re-writable media, meaning the DVD content can be

erased and re-recorded. Single-sided discs can hold

4.7 GB and double-sided discs hold twice as much.

Title (DVD video discs only)

A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc.

For example the main feature could be title 1, a docu-

mentary describing how the film was made could be

title 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each title

is assigned a reference number enabling you to

locate it easily.

DVD-RAM

Chapter (DVD video discs only)

DVD-RAM disc can be formatted in DVD-Video

Recording format (VR mode). This type of disc is able

to be rewritten and edited.

A chapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in a

film or one interview in a series. Each chapter is

assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate

the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chap-

ters may not be recorded.

VCD (Video CD)

A VCD holds up to 74 minutes (650 MB disc) or 80

minutes (700 MB disc) of MPEG-1 full-motion video

along with quality stereo sound.

Scene (VCD)

On a video CD with PBC (playback control) functions,

moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sec-

tions called “scenes”. Each scene is displayed in the

menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling

you to locate the scene you want. A scene is com-

posed of one or several tracks.

MPEG

MPEG is an international standard for video and

audio compression. MPEG-1 is used in encoding

video for VCD and provides for multichannel surround

sound coding such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and

MPEG audio.

Track

A distinct element of audiovisual information, such as

the picture or sound track for a specific language

(DVD), or a musical piece on a video or audio CD.

Each track is assigned a track number, enabling you

to locate the track you want. DVD discs allow one

track of video (with multiple angles) and several

tracks of audio.

MP3

MP3 is a popular compression format used for digital

audio files that yields very high near-CD quality.

WMA

DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

Audio Settings

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s

soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presen-

tation possible, thanks to digital audio technology.

However, you may wish to compress the dynamic

range of the audio output (the difference between the

loudest sounds and the quietest ones). This allows

you to listen to a movie at a lower volume without los-

ing clarity of sound. Set DRC to [ON] for this effect.

Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options.

Set the Recorder’s Audio Output according to the

type of audio system you use.

Dolby Digital / DTS / MPEG

[Bitstream]: Select [Bitstream] if you connect the

DVD+VCR’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to an

amplifier or other equipment with a Dolby Digital,

DTS or MPEG decoder.

connected to a two-channel digital stereo amplifi-

er. DVDs encoded in Dolby Digital or MPEG will

be automatically downmixed to two-channel PCM

audio.

[OFF] (for DTS): If you select [Off], the DTS signal

is not output through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jack.

Vocal

Set Vocal to [ON] only when a multi-channel karaoke

DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will

mix into normal stereo sound.

Sampling Freq. (Frequency)

If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of han-

dling 96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice

is made, this unit automatically converts any 96 kHz

signals to 48 kHz so your system can decode them.

If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96

kHz signals, select 96 kHz. When this choice is

made, this unit passes each type of signal through

without any further processing.

Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify

its capabilities.

Recording

About DVD recording

Notes for recording

•

The recording times shown are not exact

because the recorder uses variable bit-rate video

compression. This means that the exact record-

ing time will depend on the material being record-

ed.

Notes:

•

This Recorder cannot record CD-R or CD-RW

discs.

•

Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can

affect playback and/or recording performance.

Please take proper care of your discs.

•

When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception

is poor or the picture contains interference, the

recording times may be shorter.

•

The company does not hold any responsibility to

compensate the contents which should have

been recorded, and any losses or damages (e.g.

losses of business profit, or business intermis-

sion) that may arise from malfunction of this

recorder (not recording/editing as intended).

•

If you record still pictures or audio only, the

recording time may be longer.

The displayed times for recording and time

remaining may not always add up to exactly the

length of the disc.

•

The recording time available may decrease if you

heavily edit a disc.

Disc types and recording formats, modes,

and settings

If using a DVD-RW disc, make sure you change

the recording format (Video mode or VR mode)

before you record anything on the disc. See page

24 (Initialize) for how to do this.

This recorder can play many different kinds of DVD

discs: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW,

DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD+R(DL) and DVD-RAM discs.

The disc format for DVD-R, DVD+R(DL), DVD+RW

discs is always “Video format”—the same as pre-

recorded DVD-Video discs. This means that once

finalized, you can play a DVD-R, DVD+R (DL), or

DVD+RW in a regular DVD player. The DVD-RAM

disc format is Video Recording (VR) format.

The DVD-RW disc format is Video Recording (VR)

format or Video format. You can change Recording

format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase

the contents of the disc.)

The recording mode is closely related to the disc for-

mat. If the disc format is Video Recording format,

then the recording mode is VR mode; if the disc for-

mat is Video format, then the recording mode is

Video mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not

recordable, and so does not have a recording mode).

These can be changed as required for each record-

ing and determine the picture quality and how much

space the recording will take up on the disc.

•

When using a DVD-R or DVD+R disc, you can

keep recording until the disc is full, or until you

finalize the disc. Before you start a recording

session, check the amount of recording time left

on the disc.

•

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video mode,

recording time available will only increase if you

erase the last title recorded on the disc.

The Delete Title option in the Title List (Original)

menu only hides the title, it does not actually

erase the title from the disc and increase the

recording time available (except for the last

recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in Video mode).

•

Overwrite recording is available using DVD+RW

discs.

When using a DVD+R/RW, the recorder will exe-

cute the Menu-making operation to update the new

title and editing when removing the disc from the

recorder.

Adding Chapter Markers

VR Mode: Original and

Playlist Editing

-RW

+RW

RAM

You can create chapters within a title by inserting

chapter marks at the desired points.

Titles, Chapters and Parts

Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or

more chapters. When you insert a disc’s title into the

Playlist, all the chapters within that title also appear.

In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exact-

ly as chapters on a DVD-Video disc do. Parts are

sections of Original or Playlist titles. From the Original

and Playlist menu you can add or delete parts.

Adding a chapter or title to the Playlist creates a new

title made up of a section (ie., chapter) of an Original

title. Deleting a part removes part of a title from the

Original or Playlist menu.

Note:

Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals

automatically. You can change this interval from the

Initial Setup menu (see [Auto Chapter] on page 24).

During recording or playing back, at the point you

want to start a new chapter, press CHP ADD.

A chapter marker icon appears on the TV screen.

Changing Title Thumbnails

Caution

RAM

ꢀ When editing using the Delete, Add and Move func-

tions, the start and end frames may not be exactly

as set in the start and end point display.

ꢀ During Playlist playback, you may notice a momen-

tary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.

Each title displayed in the Title List menu is repre-

sented by a thumbnail picture taken from the start of

that title or chapter.

If you prefer, select a different still picture from within

a title.

Press THUMBNAIL to make the currently displayed

picture the one that appears in the Title List menu.

The still picture that you choose appears in both the

Original or Playlist menu.

Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?

No. When you edit a video tape you need one video

deck to play the original tape and another to record

the edits. With DVD, you edit by making a ‘Playlist’ of

what to play and when to play it. On playback, the

Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.

Tip:

You can also change the thumbnail picture of the title

on the Chapter List menu. Select a chapter on the

Chapter List menu then press THUMBNAIL. The

thumbnail picture of the title that includes the chapter

is changed.
