DVD, DVD+R, DVD+RW?  
Playback only  
What is a DVD?  
DVD Video (Digital Versatile Disc)  
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a storage medium that combines the convenience of the compact disc with the  
latest digital video technology. DVD video uses modern MPEG2 data compression technology that enables an  
entire feature film to be stored on a single five inch disc.  
DVD-R (DVD-Recordable): These discs can only be played back if the recording was made in ‘Video mode‘ and  
the recording was finalized.  
DVD-RW (DVD-Rerecordable): These discs can only be played back if the recording was made in ‘Video mode‘  
and the recording was finalized.  
How good is the resolution of DVD compared with VHS?  
Audio CD (Compact Disc Digital Audio)  
CD-R (CD recordable) Audio/ MP3 files  
CD-RW (CD rewritable) Audio/ MP3 files  
The razor-sharp digital images have more than 500 lines of resolution at 720 pixels per line. This is more than  
twice as high as VHS and even better than laser disc quality. DVD picture quality is easily comparable to the  
digital masters produced in recording studios.  
What is a DVD+RW?  
Not all recordable CDs may be played by your player.  
DVD+ReWritable uses ‘phase change‘ media, the same technology on which rewritable CDs are based. A high-  
performance laser is used to change the reflective properties of the recording layer; this process can be  
repeated more than a thousand times.  
Disc-related Terms  
What is a DVD+R?  
Title (DVD only)  
Unlike a DVD+RW disc, a DVD+R (write-once DVD) can only be written to once. If it is not finalized after a  
recording, further recordings can be added to it. Old recordings can be deleted but they can no longer be  
overwritten. The deleted recordings (titles) are marked 'deleted title'.  
The main film, accompanying feature content, or music album. Each title is assigned a title reference number  
enabling you to locate it easily.  
Chapter (DVD only)  
Before a DVD+R can be played in a DVD player, it must be finalized in the DVD Recorder+VCR. Once this  
process is complete, no further recordings can be added.  
Sections of a movie or a musical piece that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of one or several  
chapters. Each chapter is assigned a number to enable you to easily locate the chapter you want. Depending on  
the disc, chapters may not be labeled.  
What can I do with my DVD Recorder+VCR?  
Your DVD Recorder+VCR is a machine for recording and playing back digital video discs with ‘two-way‘  
compatibility with the universal DVD video standard. This means:  
Track (Audio CD only)  
Sections of a movie or a musical piece on an audio CD. Each track is assigned a number, enabling you to easily  
locate the track you want.  
• existing DVD video discs can be played on the recorder.  
• recordings made on your DVD Recorder+VCR can be played on other DVD video players and DVD-ROM  
drives.  
About DVD Recording  
Notes on Recording  
• The recording times shown are not exact because the DVD Recorder+VCR 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 recording  
times may be shorter.  
Regional code  
If the region number on your DVD disc does not correspond to the region  
number of this player, the disc cannot be played.  
• Discs recorded at high speeds (equal to or greater than 2X) may not be recognized.  
• 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 the exact length of the  
disc.  
ALL  
2
• The available recording time may decrease if you heavily edit a disc.  
• 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.  
Which discs you can use  
The following discs can be used in your DVD Recorder+VCR:  
Recording TV Audio Channels  
Playback and recording  
DVD+RW (Digital Versatile Disc + ReWritable)  
The DVD Recorder+VCR can record one or two channel audio. For TV broadcasts, this usually means mono or  
stereo, but some programs are broadcast in bilingual audio channel. You can record either BIL I, BIL II or both.  
Restrictions on Video Recording

VPS/PDC  
VPS/PDC is a service provided by some stations to enable you to perform  
timer recordings precisely even if the broadcaster delays the start time of  
the programme slightly. The time you enter is the VPS/PDC time so this  
must be correct. Not all stations offer VPS/PDC, in which case the player  
will start at the time you enter and not the actual start time of the  
programme.  
If you wish to start recording at a specific time without it being adjusted  
by the VPS/PDC system in the event of a delay, switch VPS/PDC off  
otherwise the player will not record.
