Note on playback operations of DVD VIDEOs/  
VIDEO CDs  
Note on DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-  
Rs, or CD-RWs/CD-Rs recorded on other  
equipment  
Some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-  
Rs, or CD-RWs/CD-Rs cannot be played on this  
recorder due to the recording quality or physical  
condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the  
recording device and authoring software. The disc  
will not play if it has not been correctly finalized.  
For more information, see the operating  
instructions for the recording device.  
Some playback operations of DVD VIDEOs/  
VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by software  
producers. Since this recorder plays DVD  
VIDEOs/VIDEO CDs according to the disc  
contents the software producers designed, some  
playback features may not be available. Also, see  
the instructions supplied with the DVD VIDEOs/  
VIDEO CDs.  
Note on DualDiscs  
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which  
mates DVD recorded material on one side with  
digital audio material on the other side.  
However, since the audio material side does not  
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard,  
playback on this product is not guaranteed.  
Notes  
• You cannot mix VR mode and Video mode on the same  
DVD-RW or DVD-R. To change the DVD-RW’s  
format, reformat the disc (page 68). Note that a disc’s  
contents will be erased after reformatting.  
• You cannot shorten the time required for recording  
even with high-speed discs. Also, you cannot record on  
the disc if the disc is not 1x speed compatible.  
• It is recommended that you use discs with “For Video”  
printed on their packaging.  
• You cannot add new recordings to DVD-RWs (Video  
mode), DVD+R, or DVD-Rs (Video mode) recorded  
on other equipment.  
• You may not be able to further record on a DVD+RW  
recorded on other equipment. Note that recording on  
such discs may cause the recorder to rewrite the DVD  
menu.  
Region code (DVD VIDEO only)  
Your recorder has a region code printed on the rear  
of the unit and will only play DVD VIDEOs

Notes  
Enjoying Digital Broadcasts  
• Only the selected audio can be recorded. When  
recording with the timer, “Stream 1” is usually  
recorded.  
• Dolby Digital (5.1ch) signals will be automatically  
converted to Downmix (2ch) signal and recorded.  
• The HDMI OUT jack cannot output Dolby Digital  
signals for digital broadcasts. To hear Dolby Digital,  
use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks.  
You can enjoy digital broadcasts. Digital  
broadcasts are better quality, more varied, and  
more controllable than analog broadcasts. By  
using digital functions such as rating, closed  
caption, or audio setting, you can make various  
adjustments to enjoy a digital broadcast.  
• HD (High Definition) signal through this recorder is  
converted to SD (Standard Definition) signal. You  
cannot record in HD (High Definition).  
To use the digital rating  
Digital Rating is controlled by the Rating Region  
Table (RRT). The RRT is decided by the  
broadcaster. This table can be used as parental  
ratings. For details, see “Digital Rating” of  
“Parental” in “Options” setup (page 85).  
Note  
This recorder cannot receive the program guide table,  
therefore, you cannot set the rating in advance. But as the  
dimension that was set once is memorized, the future  
program will be able to refer this setting.  
To use digital closed captions  
Digital Closed Caption supports programs that  
have the caption service. If the support service  
number is selected, closed captions appear on  
screen. For details, see “Caption Service” in  
“Options” setup (page 87).  
Note  
Digital closed captions cannot be recorded.  
To select digital audio settings  
You can adjust audio settings using the OPTIONS  
menu.

Notes  
About MP3 audio tracks and JPEG  
image files  
• Some DATA CDs or DATA DVDs cannot be played  
on this recorder depending on file format.  
• Only one session of a multi-session DATA DVD can  
be played back.  
• Only alphabet and numbers can be used for album or  
track names. Anything else is displayed as an asterisk.  
• The recorder will play any data with the extension  
“.MP3,” even if they are not in MP3 format. Playing  
such data may generate a loud noise which could  
damage your speaker system.  
• The recorder does not conform to audio tracks in  
MP3PRO format.  
• The recorder can recognize up to 499 MP3 audio tracks  
within a single album. The recorder may not recognize  
some discs depending on the recording device used for  
recording or the disc condition.  
MP3 is audio compression technology that  
satisfies the ISO/IEC MPEG regulations.  
JPEG is image compression technology.  
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-  
Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-ROMs/  
DVD+RWs/DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-Rs)  
recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and  
JPEG format.  
However, this recorder only plays DATA CDs  
whose logical format is ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2  
or Joliet, and DATA DVDs of Universal Disk  
Format (UDF).  
See the instructions supplied with the disc drives  
and the recording software (not supplied) for  
details on the recording format.  
• The recorder can play MP3 audio tracks recorded in the  
following sampling frequencies: 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz,  
48 kHz.  
• ID3 tags cannot be displayed.  
• If you add the extension “.JPG” or “.JPEG” to data not  
in JPEG format, a message appears indicating that the  
format is not supported.  
• Depending on the disc, or the size or total number of  
files, playback may take some time to start.  
• The recorder can recognize up to 999 JPEG image files  
within a single folder. The recorder may not recognize  
some discs depending on the recording device used for  
recording or the disc condition.  
• Progressive and lossless compression JPEG image files  
are not supported.  
• The image size that the recorder can display is limited  
to width 32 - 7680 pixels by height 32 - 8192 pixels.  
• JPEG image files that conform to the DCF* image file  
format are not supported.  
Note  
The recorder may not be able to play some DATA CDs  
or DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write format.  
MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files that the  
recorder can play  
The recorder can play the following tracks and  
files:  
– MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) audio tracks.  
– MP3 audio tracks with the extension “.MP3.”  
– JPEG image files with the extension “.JPEG” or  
“.JPG.”  
z Hints  
* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image standards  
for digital cameras regulated by JEITA (Japan  
Electronics and Information Technology Industries  
Association).  
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the  
file names, the files will be played in that order.  
• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start  
playback, it is recommended that you create albums  
with no more than two trees.

The approximate recording time for DVD+R DL  
(Double Layer) discs is as follows:  
HQ: 1 hour 48 minutes  
HSP: 2 hours 42 minutes  
SP: 3 hours 37 minutes  
Notes  
• Timer recordings will start with or without the recorder  
turned on. The recorder automatically turns off after a  
recording has finished.  
• This recorder records at ×1 speed.  
LSP: 4 hours 31 minutes  
ESP: 5 hours 25 minutes  
Recording mode  
LP: 7 hours 14 minutes  
EP: 10 hours 51 minutes  
Like the SP or EP recording mode of VCRs, this  
recorder has eight different recording modes.  
Select a recording mode according to the time and  
picture quality you need. For example, if picture  
quality is your top priority, select “HQ” (high  
quality). If recording time is your priority, “SLP”  
can be a possible choice.  
SLP: 14 hours 28 minutes  
Notes  
• When in a recording mode other than HQ, the recorder  
compresses the audio/video data before recording.  
Since the compression rate needs to decrease for fast-  
moving images or if picture noise is present, recorded  
data size increases, and available recording time  
becomes shorter. When recording such pictures, a  
recording mode offering longer recording time is  
recommended.  
Press REC MODE repeatedly to switch the  
recording modes.  
• Situations below may cause slight inaccuracies with  
the recording time.  
– Recording fast-moving or images containing picture  
noise.  
I want to record with the  
best possible picture  
quality, so I’ll select HQ.  
– Recording a program with poor reception, or a  
program or video source of low picture quality  
– Recording on a disc that has already been edited  
– Recording only a still picture or just sound  
• Since the recording mode for recorded titles is  
calculated after sampling the recorded data during  
playback, it may be displayed differently from the  
mode you selected when recording. However, the  
actual recording itself is correctly made in the selected  
mode.

Recording a stereo/SAP program  
Formatting a new disc  
The recorder can receive and record stereo/SAP  
programs.  
When recording a digital channel, only the  
selected audio can be recorded. When recording  
with the timer, “Stream 1” is usually recorded  
New, unformatted discs are automatically  
formatted when first inserted in the recorder.  
For DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, you can select a  
recording format (VR mode or Video mode)  
according to your needs (page 12).

display (page 68).  
Notes  
• You cannot mix VR mode and Video mode on the same  
DVD-RW or DVD-R.  
• You can change the recording format on DVD-RWs by  
reformatting (page 68).  
• You cannot change the recording format on used DVD-  
Rs.  
• The recorder records on new DVD-Rs in Video mode  
unless you first format the discs in VR mode.

Before Editing  
You can enjoy advanced edit functions. First you  
have two options for a DVD-RW (VR mode) and  
DVD-R (VR mode): editing either the original  
recording (called the “original”), or the playback  
information created from the original (called a  
“Playlist”). Since each is different in nature and  
offers different merits, read the following and  
select the one that better suits your needs.  
This recorder offers various edit options for  
various disc types. Before you edit, check the disc  
type in the front panel display, and select the  
option available for your disc (page 12).  
Notes  
• You may lose the edited contents if you remove the disc  
or a timer recording starts while editing.  
• You cannot edit recordings on DVD-RWs (Video  
mode), DVD+R, or DVD-Rs (Video mode) recorded  
on other DVD equipment.  
To edit original titles  
Edits made to the original titles are final. If you  
plan to retain an unaltered original recording,  
create and edit a Playlist (see below). The edit  
functions available for original titles are:  
– Renaming a title (page 61).  
Edit options for DVD+RWs/DVD-RWs  
(Video mode)/DVD+Rs/DVD-Rs  
(Video mode)  
– Erasing a title (page 58).  
– Erasing a chapter (page 59).  
– Setting protection against erasure (page 58).  
– Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase) (page 59).  
– Dividing a title (page 60).

You can perform simple edits. Since Video mode  
titles are actual recordings on the disc, you cannot  
undo any edits you make. The edit functions  
available for Video mode titles are:  
– Renaming a title (page 61).  
– Erasing a title (page 58).  
– Setting protection against erasure (DVD+RWs  
only) (page 58).  
To create and edit Playlist titles  
A Playlist is a group of Playlist titles created from  
the original title for editing purposes. When you  
create a Playlist, only the control information  
necessary for playback, such as the playback  
order, is stored on the disc. Since the original titles  
are left unaltered, Playlist titles can be re-edited.  
If you erase an original title used in a Playlist, that  
Playlist is also erased.  
– Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase)  
(DVD+RWs only) (page 59).  
– Dividing a title (DVD+RWs only) (page 60).  
Example: You have recorded the final few  
matches of a soccer tournament on a DVD-RW  
(VR mode). You want to create a digest with the  
goal scenes and other highlights, but you also want  
to keep the original recording.  
Notes  
• Once the disc is finalized, you cannot edit or record on  
the disc (except for DVD+RWs).  
• If a message appears and indicates that the disc’s  
control information is full, erase unnecessary titles.

In this case, you can compile highlight scenes as a

Connecting a Digital Video  
Camera to the DV IN Jack  
DV/D8 Dubbing (DV/D8 t DVD)  
Before DV/D8 Dubbing  
You can connect a digital video camera to the DV  
IN jack on the recorder to record or edit from a  
DV/D8 format tape. Operation is straightforward  
because the DVD recorder will fast forward and  
rewind the tape for you – you do not need to  
operate your digital video camera. Do the  
following to start using the “DV/D8 Edit”  
functions of this recorder.  
This section explains dubbing with a digital video  
camera via the DV IN jack on the front panel. If  
you want to dub by way of the LINE IN jacks, see  
To record from the DV IN jack  
See the instruction manual supplied with the  
digital video camera as well before connecting.  
The DV IN jack on this recorder conforms to the  
i.LINK standard. You can connect any other  
equipment that has an i.LINK (DV) jack, and  
record digital signals.  
Notes  
Follow the instructions in “Connecting a Digital  
Video Camera to the DV IN Jack,” and then move  
on to the section on dubbing. For more  
information about i.LINK, see “About i.LINK” on  
• The DV IN jack is for input only. It will not output  
signals.  
• You cannot use the DV IN jack when:  
– your digital video camera does not work with this  
recorder. Connect the camera to the LINE IN jack and  
follow the instructions of “Recording From  
– the input signal is not in DVC-SD format. Do not  
connect a MICROMV format digital video camera  
even if it has an i.LINK jack.  
z Hint  
If you plan to do additional editing on a disc after the  
initial dub, use the DV IN jack and record on a DVD-RW  
(VR mode) or DVD-R (VR mode). Note that erasing  
unwanted scenes does not free up disc space for DVD-Rs  
(VR mode).  
– the images on the tape contain copy protection  
signals, which limit recording.

Connect the TV and the recorder using a video  
jack other than the HDMI OUT, and switch the  
TV’s input to the connected video input so that  
you can see the on-screen displays. Change the  
“HDMI Resolution” setting in the “Video” setup,  
and switch the TV’s input back to HDMI. If the  
picture still does not appear, repeat the steps and  
try other options.

i.LINK baud rate  
i.LINK’s maximum baud rate varies according to  
the equipment. Three maximum baud rates are  
defined:  
S100 (approx. 100 Mbps*)  
S200 (approx. 200 Mbps)  
About i.LINK  
The DV IN jack on this recorder is an i.LINK-  
compliant DV IN jack. This section describes the  
i.LINK standard and its features.  
S400 (approx. 400 Mbps)  
What is i.LINK?  
i.LINK is a digital serial interface for handling  
digital video, digital audio and other data in two  
directions between equipment having the i.LINK  
jack, and for controlling other equipment.  
i.LINK-compatible pieces of equipment can be  
connected by a single i.LINK cable. Possible  
applications are operations and data transactions  
with various digital AV equipment. When two or  
more i.LINK-compatible equipment are  
connected to this recorder in a daisy chain,  
operations and data transactions are possible with  
not only the equipment that this recorder is  
connected to but also with other devices via the  
directly connected equipment.  
Note, however, that the method of operation  
sometimes varies according to the characteristics  
and specifications of the equipment to be  
connected, and that operations and data  
transactions are sometimes not possible on some  
connected equipment.  
The baud rate is listed under “Specifications” in  
the instruction manual of each equipment. It is  
also indicated near the i.LINK jack on some  
equipment.  
The maximum baud rate of equipment on which it  
is not indicated such as this unit is “S100.”  
When units are connected to equipment having a  
different maximum baud rate, the baud rate  
sometimes differs from the indicated baud rate.  
* What is Mbps?  
Mbps stands for megabits per second, or the amount of  
data that can be sent or received in one second. For  
example, a baud rate of 100 Mbps means that 100  
megabits of data can be sent in one second.  
i.LINK functions on this recorder  
For details on how to dub when this recorder is  
connected to other video equipment having DV  
The DV jack on this recorder can only input DVC-  
SD signals. It cannot output signals. The DV jack  
will not accept MICROMV signals from  
equipment such as a MICROMV digital video  
camera with an i.LINK jack.  
For further precautions, see the notes on page 71.  
For details on precautions when connecting this  
recorder, also see the instruction manuals for the  
equipment to be connected.  
Note  
Normally, only one piece of equipment can be connected  
to this recorder by the i.LINK cable (DV connecting  
cable). When connecting this recorder to i.LINK-  
compatible equipment having two or more i.LINK jacks  
(DV jacks), see the instruction manual of the equipment  
to be connected.  
About the name “i.LINK”  
i.LINK is a more familiar term for IEEE 1394 data  
transport bus proposed by SONY, and is a  
trademark approved by many corporations.  
IEEE 1394 is an international standard  
standardized by the Institute of Electrical and  
Electronics Engineers.  
Required i.LINK cable  
Use the Sony i.LINK 4-pin-to-4-pin cable (during  
DV/D8 dubbing).  
i.LINK and are trademarks.

Glossary  
A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc  
that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The DVD-  
RW has two different modes: VR mode and Video  
mode. DVDs created in Video mode have the  
same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs  
created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the  
contents to be programmed or edited.  
Sections of a picture or a music feature that are  
smaller than titles. A title is composed of several  
chapters. Depending on the disc, no chapters may  
be recorded.  
Copy protection signals (page 48)  
A DVD+R (read “plus R”) is a recordable disc that  
is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. Contents can  
be recorded only once to a DVD+R, and will have  
the same format as a DVD VIDEO.  
Copy restriction set by copyright owners, etc.  
These signals are included in some software or TV  
programs and restrict recording on this recorder.  
Dolby Digital (page 81)  
Digital audio compression technology developed  
by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms  
to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel  
is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel  
in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same  
discrete channels of high quality digital audio  
found in “Dolby Digital” theater surround sound  
systems. Good channel separation is realized  
because all of the channel data is recorded  
discretely, and little deterioration occurs because  
all channel data processing is digital.  
A DVD-R is a recordable disc that is the same size  
as a DVD VIDEO. Contents can be recorded only  
once to a DVD-R. The DVD-R has two different  
modes: VR mode and Video mode. DVDs created  
in Video mode have the same format as a DVD  
VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video  
Recording) mode allow the contents to be  
programmed or edited.  
DVD VIDEO (page 15)  
A disc that contains up to eight hours of moving  
pictures on a disc the same diameter as a CD.  
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-  
sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7  
times that of a CD. The data capacity of a double-  
layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-  
layer and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and  
double-layer and double-sided DVD is 17 GB.  
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, which  
is a worldwide standard of digital compression  
technology. The picture data is compressed to  
about 1/40 (average) of its original size. The DVD  
also uses a variable rate coding technology that  
changes the data to be allocated according to the  
status of the picture. Audio information is  
recorded in a multi-channel format, such as Dolby  
Digital, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio  
presence.  
Digital audio compression technology by DTS,  
Inc. This technology conforms to multi-channel  
surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and  
there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this  
format. DTS provides the same discrete channels  
of high quality digital audio.  
Good channel separation is realized because all of  
the channel data is recorded discretely, and little  
deterioration occurs because all channel data  
processing is digital.  
A DVD+RW (read “plus RW”) is a recordable and  
rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording  
format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO  
format.  
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as  
the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental  
Control functions are provided on the DVD.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)  
Sections of a music feature on a CD (the length of  
a song).  
HDMI is an interface that supports both video and  
audio on a single digital connection. The HDMI  
connection carries standard to high definition  
video signals and multi-channel audio signals to  
AV components such as HDMI equipped TVs, in  
digital form without degradation.  
The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-  
bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), a copy  
protection technology that incorporates coding  
technology for digital video signals.  
Interlace format  
Interlace format shows every other line of an  
image as a single “field” and is the standard  
method for displaying images on television. The  
even number field shows the even numbered lines  
of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the  
odd numbered lines of an image.  
Original (page 57)  
Titles actually recorded on a DVD-RW (VR  
mode) or DVD-R (VR mode). Erasing original  
titles frees up disc space on DVD-RWs.  
Playback information created from the actual  
recordings on a DVD-RW (VR mode) or DVD-R  
(VR mode). A Playlist leaves the original titles as  
they are, and contains only the information needed  
to control playback. A Playlist title takes up very  
little disc space.  
Progressive format (page 80)  
Compared to the Interlace format that alternately  
shows every other line of an image (field) to create  
one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire  
image at once as a single frame. This means that  
while the Interlace format can show 30 frames/60  
fields in one second, the Progressive format can  
show 60 frames in one second. The overall picture  
quality increases and still images, text, and  
horizontal lines appear sharper.  
The longest section of a picture or music feature  
on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the  
entire album in audio software.

Notas  
• En modos de grabación distintos a HQ, la grabadora  
comprime los datos de audio/video antes de la  
grabación. Dado que las escenas de movimientos  
rápidos o la existencia de ruido en la imagen requieren  
que las tasas de compresión disminuyan, el tamaño de  
los datos grabados aumenta y el tiempo de grabación  
disponible se acorta. En la grabación de estas  
imágenes, se recomienda un modo de grabación que  
proporcione un tiempo de grabación más largo.  
• Los siguientes casos pueden producir inexactitudes en  
el tiempo de grabación.  
– Grabación de imágenes con ruido de imagen o  
escenas de movimiento rápido.  
– Grabación de un programa con recepción defectuosa,  
o una fuente de programa o video con imagen de baja  
calidad  
– Grabación en un disco ya editado  
– Grabación de imágenes fijas o sonido únicamente  
• Debido a que el modo de grabación de títulos grabados  
se calcula después del muestreo de datos grabados  
durante la reproducción, es posible que se muestre  
diferente del modo que seleccionó durante la  
grabación. Sin embargo, la grabación real se realizó  
correctamente en el modo seleccionado.
