Title (DVD video discs only)
Disc-related terms
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 R / DVD RW
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.
Chapter (DVD video discs only)
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.
MP3
MP3 is a popular compression format used for digital
audio files that yields very high near-CD quality.
Track
WMA
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.

ing developed by Microsoft Corp.

output channel. (Example: CH3)
a
Antenna:
Disconnect the antenna from the rear of the TV and
identify the antenna cable. If it is a round 75 ohm
coaxial cable connect it directly to the jack marked
ANT.IN on your Recorder. If your antenna cable is flat
connect it to a 300-ohm to 75-ohm antenna adaptor
(not supplied) and slip the adaptor over the ANT.IN
jack. Don’t attempt to screw it into to the Recorder.
3. Select a channel using the cable converter.
No t e s :

•
If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is not
necessary to do Auto Channel Set.
b
Cable TV:
If your cable connection has no converter or
descrambler, unscrew the cable from your TV and
attach it to the ANT.IN jack on the Recorder. If a con-
verter is required connect a coaxial cable from the
wall jack to the IN connector on the converter, and a
coaxial cable from the OUT connector on the convert-
er to the ANT.IN on your Recorder. This cable hookup
permits both TV and Recorder operation.

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.
[PCM] (for Dolby Digital / MPEG): Select when
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 sig-
nal 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.

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.
When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception
is poor or the picture contains interference, the
recording times may be shorter.
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.
Not es:
•
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.
•
•
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).
•
•
•
•
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
23 (Initialize) for how to do this.
Disc types and recording formats, modes,
and settings
This recorder can play many different kinds of DVD
discs: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW,
DVD-R, DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format
for DVD-R, DVD+R, 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, or DVD+RW in a regular DVD player.
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 mode, then the recording mode is Video
mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not record-
able, 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
-RW
+RW
+R
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.
Not e:
Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals
automatically. You can change this interval from the
Initial Setup menu (see [Auto Chapter] on page 23).
During recording or playing back, at the point you
want to start a new chapter, press CHP. ADD.

Each title displayed in the Title List menu is repre-

The still picture that you choose appears in both the

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.

Throughout this manual, you will often see the words
Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and
the edited version.
