otes

– This recorder cannot record CD-R or CD-RW discs.

– 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 of

condensation on the recorder’s lens.

Disc-related terms

Title (DVD only)

The main film content or accompanying feature content

or music album.

– 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.)

Each title is assigned a title reference number enabling

you to locate it easily.

Chapter (DVD only)

Sections of a picture or a musical piece that are smaller

than titles. A title is composed of one or several chap-

ters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number to

enable you to locate the chapter you want. Depending

on the disc, chapters may not be labeled.

Playable Discs

DVD

(8 cm/12 cm disc)

Track (Video CD and audio CD only)

Sections of a picture or a musical piece on a video CD

or an audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number,

enabling you to locate the track you want.

Video CD (VCD)

(8 cm / 12 cm disc)

Audio CD

(8 cm/12 cm disc)

Scene

On a video CD with PBC (Playback Control), movies

and pictures are divided into “Scenes”. Each scene is

displayed on a menu and assigned a number, enabling

you to quickly locate the scene you want. A scene may

be composed of one or several tracks.

In addition, the VCR/DVD Recorder can play

DVD±R/DVD±RW discs, CD-R/CD-RW discs that

contain audio titles, MP3 files, SVCD file or JPEG files

and Kodak Picture CDs.

Types of video CDs

There are two types of video CDs:

otes

– Depending on the conditions of the recording equip-

ment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/±RW) disc itself,

some CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/±RW) discs cannot be

played on the unit.

– Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the

labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.

Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)

PBC (Playback control) allows you to interact with the

contents of a Video CD using menus, search functions,

and other special operations. High resolution pictures

can be displayed if they are included on the disc.

–

Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped

or octagonal). Doing so may result in malfunctions.

Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1)

Video CDs without PBC are similar to audio CDs,

except they allow playback of video as well as sound.

Regional code of the VCR/DVD Recorder and DVDs

This VCR/DVD Recorder is designed and manu-

factured for playback of Region 1 encoded DVD

software. The region code on the labels of some

DVD discs indicates which type of VCR/DVD

Recorder can play those discs. This unit can play only

DVD discs labeled 1 or ALL. If you try to play any other

discs, the message “Incorrect region code. Can’t play-

back” will appear on the TV screen. Some DVD discs

may not have a region code label even though their play-

back is prohibited by area limits.

LGXBR342 Overview (Continued)

Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?

About DVD-R and DVD-RW disc

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 VCR/DVD

Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.

How are DVD-R and DVD-RW discs different?

The essential difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW

is that DVD-R is a record-once medium, while DVD-RW

is a re-recordable/erasable medium. You can re-record/

erase a DVD-RW disc approximately 1,000 times.

About word ‘Original’ and ‘Playlist’

Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD

player?

Throughout this manual, you will often see the words

Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and

the edited version.

• Original: content refers to what’s actually recorded

on the disc.

Generally, DVD-R discs and DVD-RW discs recorded in

Video mode are playable in a regular DVD player, but

they must be ‘finalized’ first. This process fixes the con-

tents of the disc to make them readable to other DVD

players as DVD-Video discs.

• Playlist: content refers to the edited version of the

disc — how the Original content is to be played.

DVD-RW discs recorded in VR (Video Recording) mode

are playable in some players.

About DVD recording

This indicates a product feature that is capa-

ble of playing DVD-RW discs recorded with

Video Recording (VR) format.

otes

• This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or

CD-RW discs.

• Our company takes no responsibility for recording fail-

ure due to power cuts, defective discs, or damage to

the recorder.

• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect

playback and/or recording performance. Please take

proper care of your discs.

What are “Recording modes”?

There are two recording modes available using this

recorder: VR mode and Video mode. When recording to

a DVD-R disc, recordings are always in Video mode.

DVD-RW discs can be formatted for VR mode recording

or Video mode recording.

VR mode recording

• 3 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-

able (SP, LP, XP)

• Not playable on regular DVD players

• Recordings can be extensively edited

Disc types and recording formats, modes,

and settings

This recorder can play three different kinds of DVD disc:

pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW and DVD-R

discs. The disc format for DVD-R discs is always “Video

format”—the same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs.

This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD-R

in a regular DVD player.

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 format is

Video mode, then the recording mode is Video mode

(except for DVD-Video, which is not recordable, and so

does not have a recording mode).

Within the recording modes (which are fixed for the

whole disc) are the record settings. These can be

changed as required for each recording and determine

the picture quality and how much space the recording

will take up on the disc.

Video mode recording

• 3 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-

able (SP, LP, XP)

• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)

• Limited editing features

Many functions of this recorder are dependent on the

recording mode. One or more of the symbols

(

Video

VR ) appears by each function explained

in this manual so that you can see at a glance whether

it’s relevant for the disc loaded.

You can find more information on disc formats and

recording modes on next page.

ote

DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for

recording on DVD-R/RW discs that was approved by

the DVD Forum in 2000. You may therefore experience

problems playing recordable DVD discs in some play-

ers. Symptoms include video artifacts, audio and/or

video dropouts and playback suddenly stopping.

Our company cannot take responsibility for problems

playing discs recorded on this VCR/DVD Recorder in

other players.

Notes for recording

Restrictions on video recording

• The recording times shown are not exact because the

VCR/DVD Recorder uses variable bit-rate video com-

pression. This means that the exact recording time

will depend on the material being recorded.

• When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception is

poor or the picture contains interference, the record-

ing times may be shorter.

• You cannot record copy-protected video using this

recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video

discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected

material is encountered during a recording, recording

will pause or stop automatically and an error message

will be displayed on-screen.

• Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded

using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see

below).

• 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.

• 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 (DISC

Initialize) for how to do this.

• When using a 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.

What is ‘CPRM’?

CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble sys-

tem) only allowing the recording of ‘copy once’ broad-

cast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for

Recordable Media.

This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that

you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you

cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM

recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs format-

ted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be

played on players that are specifically compatible with

CPRM.

• Audio and video recordings you make using this

recorder are for your personal use only. You may not

sell, lend or rent them to other people.

• The Erase Title option in the Original (Title) 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).

• This product incorporates copyright protection tech-

nology that is protected by method claims of certain

U.S.patents and other intellectual property rights

owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights

owners. Use of this copyright protection technology

must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and

poration. Reverse engineering or disassembly is pro-

hibited.

Recording TV audio channels

This recorder can record one or two channel audio. For

TV broadcasts, this usually means mono or stereo, but

some programs are broadcast with a main and a SAP

(Secondary Audio Program) audio channel.

If you’re recording in Video mode (or in VR mode), you

can record either the main audio or the SAP audio.

Precautions

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Handling the unit

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the

disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the

surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials

come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the

unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.

When setting up the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio

may be distorted during playback. In this case, position

the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the

unit after removing the disc.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case.

To keep the surface clean

Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of

heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sun-

light, as there may be a considerable temperature

increase inside the car.

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,

near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in

contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will

leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning discs

Cleaning the unit

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic-

ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean

the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen-

ter outward.

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,

use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent

solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol,

benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface

of the unit.

Yes

To obtain a clear picture

The VCR/DVD Recorder is a high-tech, precision

device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts

are dirty or worn, the picture quality will be poor.

Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended

after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the

operating environment.)

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,

thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static

spray intended for older vinyl records.

For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

About MP3

ꢀ An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the

MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call

files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.

ꢀ The VCR/DVD Recorder can not read an MP3 file

that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.

The VCR/DVD Recorder can play audio CDs and MP3

files on CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs. Before play-

ing MP3 files, read “Notes on MP3 Recordings” at right.

Insert a disc and close the tray.

AUDIO CD or MP3 CD menu appears on the TV

screen.

MP3 Disc compatibility with this recorder is

limited as follows:

1. CD-R/RW physical format should be “ISO 9660” and

“JOLIET”.

2. If you record MP3 files using the software which

cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct-

CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We

recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which

creates an ISO9660 or JOLIET file system.

3. The total number of files and folders on the disc are

free but the total number of files and folders on the

folder should be less than 1999.

Playing Recordings on Other DVD

Players

Recording from a Digital Camcorder

Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs

recorded in Video mode. A small number of players

can also play DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode,

finalized or not. Check the manual that came with the

other player to check what kinds of discs it will play.

You can record from a digital camcorder connected to

the DV IN jack on the front panel of this VCR/DVD

Recorder. You can use the VCR/DVD Recorder’s

remote to control both the camcorder and the VCR/DVD

Recorder. Before recording, make sure that the audio

input for the DV IN jack is set up (see page 24).

Finalizing a Disc

Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings in place so that the

disc can be played on a regular DVD player or com-

puter equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.

Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen

for navigating the disc. This is accessed by pressing

DISC MENU or TITLE. To finalize a disc, refer to

“DISC Finalize” on page 25.

DV-Related Messages

What is DV?

You may see the following messages appear on your

TV screen when using the DV IN jack.

Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a

DV-equipped camcorder to this recorder using a single

DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data and

control signals.

The i.LINK interface is also known as IEEE 1394-1995.

“i.LINK” and the “i.LINK” logo are trademarks.

• This recorder is only compatible with DV-format

(DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and

Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible.

• You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at

a time to this recorder.

Camcorder not connected

The camcorder is not connected properly, or the cam-

corder is switched off.

Too many devices connected

The DV jack on this recorder supports connection to

just one camcorder.

Check tape

There is no cassette loaded into the connected equip-

ment.

• You cannot control this recorder from external equip-

ment connected via the DV IN jack (including two

DVD Recorders).

• It may not always be possible to control the connect-

ed camcorder via the DV IN jack.

Uncontrollable device

The VCR/DVD Recorder cannot control the camcorder.

• Digital camcorders can usually record audio as stereo

16-bit/48kHz, or twin stereo tracks of 12-bit/32kHz.

The VCR/DVD Recorder can only record one stereo

audio track. Set DV Record Audio to Audio 1 or Audio

2 as necessary (see page 24).

Updating device information

Camcorder is updating information for DV.

Camera Mode

• Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or 48kHz

(not 44.1kHz).

• Picture disturbance on the recording may occur if the

source component pauses playback or plays an

unrecorded section of tape, or if the power fails in the

source component, or the DV cable becomes discon-

nected.

• If DV Rec Audio is set to Audio 2, but no Audio 2 sig-

nal is present, DV Audio will be reset to Audio 1 auto-

matically.

Troubleshooting

If you cannot get a picture and/or audio through the DV

IN jack, check the following:

• Make sure the DV cable is properly connected.

• Try switching off the connected equipment, then

switch it back on.

• Try switching the audio input.

actual content of the disc. For example, if you delete a

title or chapter from the Original content (Title or

Chapter), that title or chapter is deleted from the disc,

freeing up extra recording time.

When you edit the Playlist, on the other hand, you are

not changing the content of the disc. For example,

when you delete a title from the Playlist, you are just

telling the recorder not to play that title; nothing is actu-

ally deleted from the disc.

Chapter

You can put a chapter marker anywhere in a Playlist or

Original title during recording or playback.

Once the chapter is marked, you can use the Chapter

Search feature, as well as Erase, combine and move

chapters in the Original (Chapter) or Playlist (Chapter)

menu.

You can insert up to 999 chapter markers in both the

Original and Playlist contents.

Titles, Chapters and Parts

Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or more

chapters. When you insert a title into the Playlist, all the

chapters within that title also appear. In other words,

chapters in the Playlist behave exactly 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.

tions, the start and end frames may not be exactly as
