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 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?

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.

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.

• 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+R and DVD+RW disc

This indicates a product feature that is capa-

ble of playing DVD-RW discs recorded with

Video Recording format.

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.

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.

DVD+RW mode recording

• 5 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-

able (XP, SP, LP, EP)

• Playable on regular DVD players

• The edited contents is playable on regular DVD play-

ers only after finalizing

VR mode recording

• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-

able (XP, SP, LP, EP)

• Recordings can be edited the title/chapter

• Not playable on regular DVD players

• Recordings can be extensively edited

DVD+R mode recording

• 5 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-

able (XP, SP, LP, EP)

• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)

• Any edited contents are not be compatible on regular

DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter

mark, etc.)

Video mode recording

• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-

able (XP, SP, LP, EP)

• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)

• Limited editing features

• Limited title/chapter editing features

ote

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

recording on DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs that was

approved by the DVD Forum in 2000. You may therefore

experience problems playing recordable DVD discs in

some players. 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 recorder in other players.

DVD +R (Double Layer)

Double layer recording technology offers two recordable

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.

Notes for recording

About DVD recording

• The recording times shown are not exact because the

recorder uses variable bit-rate video compression.

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.

• 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.

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.

Disc types and recording formats, modes,

and settings

• 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 25

(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.

• The Erase 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 avail-

able (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-RW

disc in Video mode).

This recorder can play various 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

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

ed DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized,

you can play a DVD-R in a regular DVD player.

By default, the DVD-RW disc format is Video format,

though you can change this to Video Recording format,

if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase the contents

of the disc.)

The recording mode is closely related to the disc format.

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.

• The overwrite recording is available with DVD+RW

disc.

• Even though the recordable time of MLP mode with

DVD+R DL discs is about 11 hours which is similar to

single layer discs, it is because the resolution of

DVD+R DL disc is higher than that of single layer

discs.

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 sur-

face. 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

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,

thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static

spray intended for older vinyl records.

audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds

and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie

at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set

DRC to ON for this effect.

MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this recorder

is limited as follows:

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

“JOLIET”.

2. If you record MP3/WMA files using the software

which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example

“Direct-CD” etc., it is impossible to playback

MP3/WMA files. We recommend that you use

“Easy-CD Creator”, which creates an ISO 9660 or

JOLIET file system.

This Recorder requires discs/recordings to meet

certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal

playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically

set to these standards. There are many different types

of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing

MP3 or WMA files) that require certain pre-existing

conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.

Customers should also note that permission is

required in order to download MP3/WMA files and

music from the Internet. Our company has no right

to grant such permission. Permission should always

be sought from the copyright owner.

Notes on JPEG Recordings

^ꢀDepending on the size and number of the JPEG files,

it may take several minutes to read the contents of

the media. If you don’t see an on-screen display after

several minutes, some of the files are too big —

reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 4

mega pixels and burn another disc.

^ꢀThe total number of files and folders are free but the

total number of files on the folder should be less than

1999.

^ꢀSome discs may be incompatible due to different

recording formats or the condition of the discs.

ꢀ When you are using software such as “Easy CD

Creator” to burn JPEG files on a CD-R, ensure that all

selected files have the “.jpg” extension before copying

them into the CD layout.

ꢀ If the files have “.jpe” extensions, please rename them

as “.jpg” files.

ꢀ File names without the “.jpg” extension

cannot be read by this recorder, even though the files

are shown as JPEG image files in Windows

Explorer^®.

^ꢀProgressive and lossless compression JPEG image

files are not supported.

Title and Chapter Editing

Edits you make to the Original content changes the

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 actually

deleted from the disc.

Adding Chapter Markers

+RW

You can put a chapter marker during recording or

playback.

Once the chapter is marked, you can use the Chapter

Search feature, as well as delete, combine and move

chapters in the Chapter List-Original or Chapter

List-Playlist menu.

Titles, Chapters and Parts

Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals auto-

matically. You can change this interval from the Initial

Setup menu (see Auto Chapter on page 25).

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.
