PBC (Playback control) functions allow you to interact

with the system via menus, search functions, or other

typical computer-like operations. Moreover, high resolu-

tion still pictures can be played if they are included on

the disc.

–

DVR313 Overview

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 recording

This indicates a product feature that is capa-

ble of playing DVD-RW discs recorded with

Video Recording format.

otes

• This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or

CD-RW discs.

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.

• 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.

VR mode recording

• 3 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-

able (HQ, SQ, LQ)

• Not playable on regular DVD players

• Recordings can be extensively edited

Disc types and recording formats, modes,

and settings

This recorder can play three different kinds of DVD disc:

pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW and DVD-R

discs. The disc format for DVD-R discs is always “Video

format”—the same as pre-recorded 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 Recording

format, though you can change this to Video 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).

Video mode recording

• 3 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-

able (HQ, SQ, LQ)

• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)

• Limited editing features

Many functions of this recorder are dependent on the

recording mode. One or more of the symbols

Video

(

) appear by each function explained

in this manual so that you can see at a glance whether

it’s relevant for the disc loaded.

You can find more information on disc formats and

recording modes on next page.

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.

ote

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

recording on 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.

DVR313 Overview

Notes for recording

Restrictions on video 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.

• You cannot record copy-protected video using this

recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video

discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected

material is encountered during a recording, recording

will pause or stop automatically and an error message

will be displayed on-screen.

• Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded

using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see

below).

• 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.

• 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.

What is ‘CPRM’?

CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble sys-

tem) only allowing the recording of ‘copy once’ broad-

cast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for

Recordable Media.

This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that

you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you

cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM

recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs format-

ted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be

played on players that are specifically compatible with

CPRM.

recorder are for your personal use only. You may not

sell, lend or rent them to other people.

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).

Recording TV audio channels

This recorder can record one or two channel audio. For

TV broadcasts, this usually means mono or stereo, but

some programs are broadcast with a main and a SAP

(Secondary Audio Program) audio channel.

If you’re recording in Video mode (or in VR mode), you

can record either the main audio or the SAP audio.

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

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD Recorder is a high-tech, precision device. If

the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or

worn, the picture quality will be poor.

Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended

after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the

operating environment.)

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,

thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static

spray intended for older vinyl records.

For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Cable Service Without Cable Box

Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to

DVD Recorder

If your cable wire is connected to your TV without a converter

or descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attach

it to the ANT.IN jack on the DVD Recorder. Use the supplied

round coaxial cable to connect between the DVD Recorder’s

OUT TO TV jack and the 75 ohm antenna input jack on the TV.

With this connection, you can receive all midband, super band,

and hyperband channels. (All cable channels.)

Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the

TV.

Identify the type of cable from your antenna. If it is a

round cable as illustrated, it is a 75 ohm coaxial

antenna cable. This cable will connect directly to the

jack marked ANT.IN on your DVD Recorder.

Cable Service With Cable Box

If a converter is required in your cable system, follow the

instruction below:

The cable hookup permits both TV and DVD Recorder opera-

tion.

To view or record a CATV channel

If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable,

connect it to an Antenna Adapter (300-ohm to 75-ohm)

(not supplied) and slip the Adapter onto the ANT.IN

jack. The Adapter does not screw on to the DVD

Recorder, it just slips over the jack.

Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.

2 Set the DVD Recorder channel selector to the output chan-

nel of the Cable Converter box using CH (v / V) or number

(0-9) of your DVD Recorder. (Example: CH3)

3 Select the channel to view at the Cable Converter Box.

Before Operation

Auto Clock Set

ote

There are cases where the TV station does not send, or sends

wrong date and/or time information and the DVD Recorder sets

the incorrect time.

The DVD Recorder gives you two ways to set the time

and date: the Auto Clock Feature or manually. The Auto

Clock Feature enables the DVD Recorder to set up the

clock when the DVD Recorder is turned off or during

PBS channel tuning.

The Clock Set feature is set to Auto at the factory. In the

ON setting, the DVD Recorder looks for a channel car-

rying XDS (Extended Data Services) information. XDS

updates the clock using the Coordinated Universal

Time.

If this happens, we recommend that you set the clock manually.

Set the recorder’s Audio Output according to the type of

audio system you use.

Sampling Freq. (Frequency)

If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling

96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice is

made, this unit will automatically convert 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 will pass each type of signal through

without any further processing.

Dolby Digital

PCM: Select when connected to a 2-channel digital stereo

amplifier. The DVD Recorder’s digital audio outputs sounds

Notes on MP3 Recordings

MP3

About MP3

^ꢀAn MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the

MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call

files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.

^ꢀThe recorder can not read an MP3 file that has a file

extension other than “.mp3”.

The DVD Recorder can play audio CDs. Also, the DVD

Recorder can play MP3 formatted recordings on

CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs.

Before playing MP3 recordings, read the notes on MP3

Recordings on the right side of this page.

MP3 Disc compatibility with this recorder is

limited as follows:

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

“JOLIET”.

Insert a disc and close the tray.

AUDIO CD or MP3 CD menu appears on the TV

screen.

2. If you record MP3 files using the software which

cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct-

CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We

recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which

creates an ISO9660 or JOLIET file system.

3. Total number of files and folders on the disc should

be less than 999.

Recording from a Digital Camcorder

Playing Your Recordings on

Other DVD Players

Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs

recorded in Video mode. A small number of players

can also play DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode,

finalized or not. Check the manual that came with the

other player to check what kinds of discs it will play.

You can record from a digital camcorder connected to

the DV IN jack on the front panel of this recorder. Using

the recorder’s remote, you can control both the cam-

corder and this recorder.

Before recording, make sure that the audio input for the

DV IN jack is set up (see page 25).

ips

Finalizing a Disc

• The source signal must be DVC-SD format.

• Some camcorders cannot be controlled using this

recorder’s remote.

If you connect a second DVD Recorder using a DV

cable, you cannot control the second DVD from this one.

Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings in place so that the

disc can be played on a regular DVD player or com-

puter equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.

Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen

for navigating the disc. This is accessed by pressing

MENU or TITLE.

•

• You can’t control this unit remotely from a component

connected to the DV IN jack.

To finalize a disc, refer to “Finalize” on page 26.

• You can’t record date and time information from a DV

cassette.

DV-Related Messages

What is DV?

You may see the following messages appear on your TV

screen when using the DV IN jack.

Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a

DV-equipped camcorder to this recorder using a single

DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data and

control signals.

The i.LINK interface is also known as IEEE 1394-1995.

“i.LINK” and the “i.LINK” logo are trademarks.

• This recorder is only compatible with DV-format (DVC-

SD) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and Digital

VHS video recorders are not compatible.

• You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at

a time to this recorder.

Not connected to camcorder

The camcorder is not connected properly, or the cam-

corder is switched off.

Too many devices connected

The DV jack on this recorder supports connection to just

one camcorder.

Check the tape

There is no cassette loaded into the connected equip-

ment.

• You cannot control this recorder from external equip-

ment connected via the DV IN jack (including two

DVD recorders).

• It may not always be possible to control the connect-

ed camcorder via the DV IN jack.

• This recorder only outputs DVD video from the DV IN

jack; signals from the built-in TV tuner, CD, Video CD,

and other inputs cannot be output.

• Digital camcorders can usually record audio as stereo

16-bit/48kHz, or twin stereo tracks of 12-bit/32kHz.

This recorder can only record one stereo audio track.

Set DV Rec Audio to Audio 1 or Audio 2 as required

(see page 25).

Uncontrollable device

This recorder cannot control the camcorder. Try switch-

ing off the camcorder then switching it back on.

Updating Information

Camcorder is updating information for DV.

Camera mode

Camcorder is set to camera mode.

• Audio output from the DV IN jack is 16-bit only.

• Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or 48kHz

(not 44.1kHz).

• Picture disturbance on the recording may occur if the

source component pauses playback or plays an

unrecorded section of tape, or if the power fails in the

source component, or the DV cable becomes discon-

nected.

Troubleshooting

If you can’t get a picture and/or audio through the DV IN

jack, check the bullet points:

• If the source signal is copy-protected, it will not be

output through the DV IN jack.

• Make sure the DV cable is properly connected.

• Try switching off the connected equipment then switch

back on.

• Try switching the audio input.

• Make sure that the Sampling Frequency setting is not

set to 96kHz (see page 22).

• Although DV Rec Audio is set to Audio 2 and Audio 2

signal is not present, DV Rec Audio will be reset to

Audio 1 automatically.

VR Mode: Original and Playlist Editing

Edits you make to the Original content changes the

actual content of the disc. For example, if you erase a

title or chapter from the Original content (Title/Chapter

List), that title or chapter is erased 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 erase a title from the Playlist (Program), you are

just telling the recorder not to play that title; nothing is

actually erased from the disc.

The Title List is where you build and edit your Playlist,

and where you can erase titles and make other changes

to the Original content of the disc. You can also play

individual titles directly from the Title List.

The recorder must be stopped in order to edit using the

Title List.

Press REC LIST to display the Title List.

• Use the v / V buttons to display the

previous/next page if there are more than

6 titles/chapters.

Titles and Chapters

Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or more

chapters.

• To exit the Title List, press RETURN.

When you insert a Original title into the Playlist

(Program), all the chapters within that title also appear.

In other words, chapters in the Playlist (Program)

behave exactly as chapters on a DVD-Video disc.

Adding a title or chapter to the Playlist (Program) cre-

ates a new title made up of chapters of an Original title.

Erasing a chapter removes chapter of a title from the

Original or Playlist (Program).
