DVD-R discs are convenient when you edit your original content (recorded personal events such as a wedding party)
with this recorder, transfer them to the recorder and make copies to send to your friends or relatives. The discs can
be played on other compatible DVD players. DVD-RW discs, which are rewritable, can be used as well.
We cannot guarantee that DVD-R/RW discs recorded on this recorder will be playable on all DVD recorders/players.
Similarly, there is no guarantee that all DVD-R/RW discs recorded on other recorders will be playable on this recorder.

■ Using the Scart socket
1) Connect the antenna or cable to the ANTENNA IN jack of this unit.
2) Connect the ANTENNA OUT jack of this unit to the Aerial jack of your TV. Use the supplied RF cable.
3) Connect AV1 (TV) Scart socket of this unit to the Scart socket of your TV. Use a commercially
available Scart cable.
Notes
• If your TV does not have a Scart socket, use a commercially available Scart adaptor or Scart / RCA cable to connect.
• Connect this unit directly to the TV. If the A/V cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted due to the copy
protection system.
• When changing the “Video Out” setting (“SCART (RGB)”, “Component Interlace (I)” or “Component Progressive
(P)”), connect to a Video jack or an S-Video jack on the TV. If the setting is changed, for example, to “Component
Interlace (I)” or “Component Progressive (P)” while the scart cable is connected to the TV, a distorted video signal
may be output.
Selecting Progressive Scan (625p <576p> or Interlaced 625i <576i>) Playback
• If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (625p <576p>), connect the TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT
jacks of the DVD player and set “Video Out” setting to “Component Progressive (P)” in the setup menu (see page 119).
Next, set your TV to the progressive scan mode.
• If your TV is not compatible with progressive scan, set “Video Out” setting to “Component Interlace (I)”.

Notes
• This unit cannot record on CD-R or CD-RW discs.
• DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded on a personal computer or on a DVD or CD recorder may not be played back if
the disc is damaged or dirty or if there is condensation on the player’s lens.
• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, it may not be played back
because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more
detailed information.)
• Discs recorded in Video mode on this unit cannot record additional information using other DVD recorders.
• It is impossible to use a DVD-RW disc formatted with this unit on other DVD recorder unless the content of the disc was
also recorded with this unit.
• Since recording is performed using the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) method, the actual remaining time for recording may be a
little shorter than the remaining time displayed on the OSD, depending on the picture you are recording.

Restrictions on recording
You cannot record copy-protected video using this unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs and some
satellite broadcasts.
If copy-protected material is detected, recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message
appears on the screen.
You can only record “Copy-once only” video using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with Content Protection for
Recordable Media (CPRM).
When recording a TV broadcast or an external input, you can display copy control information on the screen.
What is “CPRM”?
CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the protection of “copy-once” broadcast programmes. This unit is CPRM
compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programmes, but you cannot make a copy of those
recordings. CPRM recordings can only be played back on DVD players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

PDC (Programme Delivery

● If there is no disc or an unrecordable disc in the tray,
Programme Delivery Control (PDC) assures that the TV
programmes you have programmed for timer recording
are recorded exactly from beginning to end, even if the
actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time
due to a delayed start or extension of the programme
duration. Furthermore, if a programme is interrupted, the
recording will also be interrupted automatically and
resumed when the programme starts again.

transmit a regular PDC signal, the timer recording is
performed in normal mode (without PDC) even if it was
programmed for PDC. If the starting time of the PDC
timer recording is between 0:00 and 3:59 on a given
day, the PDC function will operate from 20:00 on the
previous day to 4:00 on the next day. If the starting time
of the PDC timer recording is between 4:00 and 23:59
on a given day, the PDC function will operate from 0:00
on the given day to 4:00 on the next day. This means
that if the relevant programme is broadcasted within this
period, it is recorded correctly. If the timer is not
