cases in which it may not play because of the settings

of the application software used to create the disc.

(Check with the software publisher for more detailed

VR4940 Overview (Continued)

Is Editing a DVD like Editing a Videotape?

About DVD-R and DVD-RW Discs

No. When you edit a videotape 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. During playback, the DVD

Recorder+VCR plays the disc according to your Playlist.

How are DVD-R and DVD-RW discs different?

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.

Can I play my discs in a regular DVD player?

DVD-R discs and DVD-RW discs recorded in “Video

mode” are playable in most standard DVD players, but

they must be finalized first. This process fixes the con-

tents of your discs so they are readable on other DVD

players as standard DVD-Video discs. DVD-RW discs

recorded in “VR mode” (Video Recording mode) are

only readable on players with the “RW Compatible”

logo.

“Original” Content vs “Playlist” Content

Throughout this manual, you will often see the words

“Original” and “Playlist” to distinguish between the actu-

al content on your DVD-R/RW and the edited version.

• Original: Refers to what is actually recorded on the

disc.

• Playlist: Refers to the edited version of the disc —

i.e., how the Original content is to be played.

This logo indicates that a product is capa-

ble of playing DVD-RW discs recorded in

“VR mode”.

About DVD Recording

otes

What are “Recording Modes”?

• The DVD Recorder+VCR cannot make recordings on

DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD-R, or CD-RW discs.

• Our company takes no responsibility for recording fail-

ure due to power outages, defective discs, or damage

to the DVD Recorder+VCR.

• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect

playback and/or recording performance. Please take

proper care of your discs.

Two recording modes are available on your DVD

Recorder+VCR: “Video mode” and “VR mode”:

About “VR mode”

• Compatible with DVD-RW discs only

• Allows extensive editing of DVD-RW recordings

• Discs are not playable on regular DVD players

• 3 different picture quality/recording time settings are

available: XP (1 hr/disc), SP (2 hrs/disc), and LP (4

hrs/disc)

Disc Types and Recording Formats

The DVD Recorder+VCR can play these kinds of DVD

discs:

1. Pre-recorded DVD-Video discs

2. DVD-R/DVD-RW discs

3. DVD+R/DVD+RW discs

About “Video mode”

• Compatible with both DVD-R and DVD-RW discs

• Provides limited editing features

• Playable on most regular DVD players (after finaliz-

ing)

• 3 different picture quality/recording time settings are

available: XP (1 hr/disc), SP (2 hrs/disc), and LP (4

hrs/disc)

DVD-R discs are always formatted in “Video mode”—

the same format as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs. This

means that once a DVD-R disc is finalized, you can

play it in most standard DVD players.

Many DVD Recorder+VCR functions are dependent on

the Recording mode. One or more of the symbols

DVD-RW discs can be formatted in either “Video mode”

or “VR mode” (Video Recording mode). Keep in mind

that changing between these modes requires you to re-

initialize the disc, which will erase its contents.

(

Video

VR ) appears by each function explained

in this manual so you can see at a glance whether it is

available for the type of disc you have loaded.

ote

DVD-R/RW discs formatted in “Video mode” are record-

ed in the DVD-Video format, which was approved by the

DVD Forum in 2000. As a result, you may experience

problems playing your discs in some older players.

Symptoms include video artifacts, audio and/or video

dropouts and playback suddenly stopping. Our compa-

ny cannot take responsibility for problems playing discs

recorded on this DVD Recorder+VCR in other players.

Notes for Recording

Restrictions on Video Recording

• The recording times shown are not exact because the

DVD Recorder+VCR uses variable bit-rate video com-

pression. 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

DVD Recorder+VCR. 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 24 (“DISC

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.

The DVD Recorder+VCR is CPRM compatible, which

means that you can record copy-once broadcast pro-

grams, but you cannot then make a copy of those

recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on

DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode, and CPRM

recordings can only be played on players that are

specifically compatible with CPRM.

• Audio and video recordings you make using the DVD

Recorder+VCR are for your personal use only. You

may not sell, lend or rent them to other people.

• This product incorporates copyright protection tech-

nology that is protected by method claims of certain

U.S.patents and other intellectual property rights

owners. Use of this copyright protection technology

must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and

is intended for home and other limited viewing uses

only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision cor-

poration. Reverse engineering or disassembly is pro-

hibited.

• The Erase Title option in the Original (Title) menu only

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

The DVD Recorder+VCR can record one or two chan-

nel 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

surface. 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+VCR 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.

About MP3

ꢀ An MP3 file is audio data compressed using the

MPEG1 audio layer 3 file-encoding scheme. Files

that have the “.mp3” file extension are called “MP3

files”.

The DVD Recorder+VCR can play audio CDs and MP3

files on CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs. Before play-

ing MP3 files, read “Notes on MP3 Recordings” at right.

ꢀ The DVD Recorder+VCR cannot read MP3 files that

have file extensions other than “.mp3”.

Insert the disc and close the tray.

The AUDIO CD or MP3 CD menu appears on the

TV screen.

MP3 Disc compatibility with the DVD

Recorder+VCR is limited as follows:

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

“JOLIET”.

2. If you record MP3 files using software which cannot

create a FILE SYSTEM (e.g., Direct-CD, etc.), it is

impossible to playback MP3 files. “Easy-CD Creator”

is recommended.

You cannot enter a Timer Recording if:

• A recording is already underway.

• The start time has already passed.

Be sure to load a recordable disc or tape.

• Eight Timer Recordings have already been set.

ote

• The Timer indicator lights on the front panel display.

• If the Disc and Tape indicator are blinking, either no disc

or tape is loaded, or the loaded disc is not recordable.

• The DVD Recorder+VCR will record the audio according

to the current TV tuner setting (Stereo, Mono or SAP).

Use the AUDIO button to set the audio before switching

the DVD Recorder+VCR to Standby mode.

If two or more Timer Recordings overlap:

• The earlier program takes priority.

• When the earlier program finishes, the later program

starts.

• If two programs are set to start at exactly the same

time, the program entered first takes priority.

Confirmation is not possible when:

• The DISC Protect setting is set to ON.

• There are already 99 titles recorded on the disc.

• You must press STOP to stop the Timer Recording.

• The DVD Recorder+VCR will automatically power off

when the Timer Recording ends.

• There is a short delay when a timer recording finishes to

confirm the recorded program. If two timer recordings are

set to record sequentially (one right after the other), the

very beginning of the later program may not be recorded.

If the disc is damaged, the recording may not complete

successfully, even if the Check field shows “Rec. OK”.

Playing 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.

Recording from a Digital Camcorder

You can record from a digital camcorder connected to

the DV IN jack on the front panel of the DVD

Recorder+VCR. You can use the DVD Recorder+VCR

remote to control both the camcorder and the DVD

Recorder+VCR. Before recording, make sure that the

audio input for the DV IN jack is set up; see page 24.

Finalizing a Disc

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

DISC MENU or TITLE. To finalize a disc, refer to

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 the DVD Recorder+VCR 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.

• The DVD Recorder+VCR 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 the DVD Recorder+VCR.

Camcorder not connected

The camcorder is not connected properly, or the cam-

corder is switched off.

Too many devices connected

The DV jack on the DVD Recorder+VCR supports con-

nection to just one camcorder.

Check tape

There is no cassette loaded in the connected equip-

ment.

• You cannot control the DVD Recorder+VCR from

external equipment 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.

Uncontrollable device

The DVD Recorder+VCR cannot control the camcorder.

Try switching off the camcorder then switching it back

on.

• Digital camcorders can usually record audio as stereo

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

The DVD Recorder+VCR can only record one stereo

audio track. Set DV Record Audio to Audio 1 or Audio

2 as desired; see page 24.

Updating device information

The camcorder is updating information for DV.

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

(not 44.1kHz).

Camera Mode

The camcorder is set to camera mode.

• 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 if the DV cable becomes dis-

connected.

• If DV Record Audio is set to Audio 2 and the Audio 2

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

Audio 1 automatically.

Troubleshooting

If you cannot get a picture and/or audio through the DV

IN jack, check the following:

• Make sure the DV cable is properly connected.

• Try switching off the connected equipment then

switching it back on.

• Try switching the audio input.

ote

Depending on the connected camcorder, you may not

be able to control it using the remote control supplied

with the DVD Recorder+VCR.

VR Mode: Original and Playlist Editing

In this section, you will learn about editing DVD-RW

discs in VR Mode.

Adding Chapter Markers

It is important to understand the difference between

edits to the Original content of the disc and edits to the

Playlist. Edits you make to the Original content of a disc

change the actual content of the disc. For example, if

you erase a title or chapter from the Original content,

that title or chapter is erased from the disc, freeing up

extra recording time.

When you edit the Playlist, however, you are not chang-

ing the content of the disc. For example, when you

erase a title from the Playlist (Program), you are just

telling the DVD Recorder+VCR not to play that title;

nothing is actually erased from the disc.

Chapter

You can add a chapter marker anywhere in a Playlist or

Original title during recording or playback.

Once the chapter is marked, you can use the Chapter

Search feature, as well as erase, combine and move

chapters in the Original (Chapter) or Playlist (Chapter)

menu.

You can insert up to 999 chapter markers in both the

Original and Playlist contents.

Play the title (Original or Playlist).

Titles and Chapters

At the point you want to start a new chapter,

2 _{press ADD CHAP.}

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

chapters. When you insert an Original title into the

Playlist (Program), all the chapters within that title also

appear. In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave

exactly as chapters on a DVD disc.

Adding a title or chapter to the Playlist creates a new

title made up of chapters of the Original title. Erasing a

chapter removes that chapter from the Original or

Playlist (Program).

A Chapter Marker icon appears on the TV screen.

• You can also add chapter markers during recording.

Changing Title or Chapter Thumbnails

Thumb.

Each title and chapter displayed in the Original or

Playlist menu is represented by a thumbnail picture

taken from the start of that title or chapter. If you prefer,

select a different still picture from within a title.

Caution

• When editing using the Erase, Add and Move func-

tions, the start and end frames may not be exactly as

set in the start and end point display.

• During Playlist playback, you may notice a momen-

tary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.

Play the title (Original or Playlist).

Press THUMBNAIL to make the currently dis-

2 _{played picture the one that appears in the}

Original or Playlist menu.

The still picture that you choose appears in both the

Original (Title) and Playlist (Title) menu.

You can also change the thumbnail picture of the title on

the Original (Chapter) or Playlist (Chapter) menu. Select

a chapter on the Original (Chapter) or Playlist (Chapter)

menu then press THUMBNAIL. The thumbnail picture of

the title that includes the chapter is changed.
