Introduction  
With it, you will be able to recordTV programs or edit  
and archive your own video camera recordings.  
Superb digital picture and sound quality, quick access to  
the tracks you have recorded and extensive playback  
features contribute to a completely new video experience.  
DVD Recorder  
DVD (DigitalVersatile Disc) is the new storage medium  
that combines the convenience of the Compact Disc with  
the latest advanced digital video technology.  
DVDVideo uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression  
technology to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch  
disc. DVD’s variable bitrate compression, running at up to  
9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most complex  
pictures in their original quality.  
The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal  
resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture  
elements) to each line.This resolution is more than double  
that ofVHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely  
comparable with digital masters made in recording studios.  
From now on you will enjoy full-length movies with true  
cinema picture quality and stereo or Multi-channel sound  
(depending on the disc and on your playback set-up).You  
will find your Recorder remarkably easy to use, with the  
on-screen display on yourTV, the display on the DVD  
recorder and remote control.  
Cleaning discs  
Some problems occur because the disc inside the  
Recorder is dirty.To avoid these problems, clean your  
discs regularly in the following way:  
DVD recording is the next step in video technology.  
DVD+ReWritable (DVD+RW) uses phase-change media,  
the same technology that formed the basis for CD-  
ReWritable.A high-power laser is used to change the  
reflectivity of the recording layer.This process can be  
repeated more than a thousand times. DVD+Recordable  
(DVD+R) uses discs based on an organic dye,a technology  
pioneered with the successful CD-Recordable format, to  
produce discs that keep your data for a lifetime.  
When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning  
cloth.Wipe the disc in a straight line from the center  
out to the edge.  
Caution:  
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static  
spray intended for analog discs.  
Do not use commercially available cleaning discs to  
clean the lens, as these discs may damage the  
optical unit.  
Your DVD Recorder is a Recorder and player for digital  
video discs, with a two-way compatibility to the  
universal DVDVideo standard.This means that:  
- existing pre-recorded DVDVideo discs can play on  
your DVD Recorder and  
- recordings, made on your DVD Recorder,  
can play on most DVDVideo players and DVD-ROM  
drives.

Under no circumstances attempt to repair the system yourself; this will invalidate the warranty. Look for the specific  
symptom(s).Then perform only the actions listed to remedy the specific symptom(s).  
Symptom  
Remedy  
The Recorder does not respond to the  
remote control  
Aim the remote control directly at the sensor on the front of the Recorder.

for some players. Proceed as follows:  
1. Put the disc in the drawer (do not close the tray).  
2. Press and hold the 2 key on the remote control for several seconds until  
the tray closes.The disc is now modified.  
3. If the change has no effect, you may perform the same procedure with the

Modifying the disc can solve the problem for a specific player model, but playback  
in other DVD players may no longer be possible.  
It is therefore recommended to use this procedure carefully and only when needed.  
To revert the disc to the original state,follow the same procedure with the  
1 key on the remote control.  
Note:  
To achieve maximum compatibility, make sure the disc contains at least 5 minutes  
recorded in HQ mode, 12 minutes in SP+, 20 minutes in EP or 30 minutes in EP+  
mode. For more information about compatibility with DVD players refer to  
Troubleshooting’ in the instructions for Use.

Diagnosis program  
DVD Recorder system notes  
If the Recorder is still faulty you can start the Diagnosis  
Program in the Recorder.  
DVD+RW and DVD+R discs recorded on your DVD  
recorder can be played on most DVD players and DVD-  
ROM drives, with the following issues:  
-The time search function will not be available.  
-The screen will display twice as many titles as there are  
on the disc.  
This is due to the ‘DVD+RWVideo Format Specifications’  
and the ‘DVD+RVideo Format Specifications.It is not a  
malfunction.  
You can operate the Diagnosis Program by following these  
instructions step by step.  
Instructions  
A DVD+RW/+R disc may not play on certain DVDVideo  
players.  
A DVD+RW/+R disc recorded on a different type or  
brand of Recorder can play, but may not provide all  
features commonly available to it, such as the on-screen  
disc bar, the disc settings menu, the title settings menu,  
and editing.  
1 Unplug the power cord of the Recorder.  
2 Press and hold the 2while you reconnect the power  
cord of the Recorder.  
On the display, BUSY appears with a counter  
number. Release the 2.  
After a few minutes, the message changes from  
‘BUSY’ to ‘FAIL’ or ‘PASS.’  
Refer to ‘Adapt disc format.If the disc is erase-protected,  
the status cannot be changed.  
When using manual recording, the DVD Recorder will  
advise you before adapting the format of the disc or  
removing non-video data (See ‘Before you start  
recording’).When using timer recording, however,  
the DVD Recorder will always start to record, unless the  
disc is write-protected. Menus, edits and other data  
recorded on a different device (e.g. a PC) may be lost.  
3 If FAIL appears on the display, there is apparently a fail-  
ure in your Recorder.Your Recorder should be  
repaired. Consult your authorizedYAMAHA dealer or  
Service Center for assistance.  
4 If ‘PASS’ appears on the display, there is apparently no  
failure in your Recorder. In this case, the failure can be  
caused by incorrect interpretation of the operating  
instructions, a wrong disc in use, or incorrect connec-  
tions. Consult your authorizedYAMAHA dealer or  
Service Center for assistance.  
Because of theVariable Bit Rate, a title map takes up less  
or more space than the overwritten title, even though the  
duration is the same.As a result, part of the original title  
may remain, or part of the next title may be lost.The  
maximum deviation is five minutes.  
5 Unplug the power cord, then reconnect it to a power  
source and use the DVD Recorder again as usual.  
When you connect a remote control to the IN RC6  
Remote Control Input on the back of the Recorder,  
the first signals from the remote control may be lost.  
After a power interruption during recording, the Index  
Picture Screen may not match the actual video content on  
the disc.The last recorded title may be lost.
