How are recordable discs different?

• Playable on regular DVD players

The essential difference among DVD-R, DVD-RW,

DVD+R and DVD+RW is that DVD-R and DVD+R are a

record-once medium, while DVD-RW and DVD+RW are

a re-recordable/erasable medium. You can re-record/

erase a DVD-RW and DVD+RW disc approximately

1,000 times.

• Any edited contents are not be compatible on regular

DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter

mark, etc.)

Generally, DVD-R, 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 contents of the disc to make them readable to

other DVD players as DVD-Video discs.

DVD-RW discs recorded in VR (Video Recording) mode

are playable in some players.

• Limited title/chapter editing features

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

recording on DVD-R/RW and 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 arti-

facts, audio and/or video dropouts and playback sud-

Unfinalized DVD+RW discs are playable in a regular

denly stopping.

Our company cannot take responsibility for problems

playing discs recorded on this VCR/DVD Recorder in

other players.

What are “Recording modes”?

There are various recording modes available using this

recorder. When recording to a DVD-R, DVD+R or

DVD+RW disc, recordings are always in Video mode.

DVD-RW discs can be formatted for VR mode recording

or Video mode recording.

Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?

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 VCR/DVD

Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.

Notes for recording

About DVD recording

• The recording times shown are not exact because the

VCR/DVD Recorder 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.

otes

• This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or

CD-RW discs.

• Our company takes no responsibility for recording fail-

ure due to power cuts, defective discs, or damage to

the recorder.

• If you record still pictures or audio only, the recording

time may be longer.

• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect

playback and/or recording performance. Please take

proper care of your discs.

• The displayed times for recording and time remaining

may not always add up to exactly the length of the

disc.

Disc types and recording formats, modes,

and settings

• 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 26 (Disc

Initialize) for how to do this.

This recorder can play five different kinds of DVD disc:

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

DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format for DVD-R

discs is always “Video format”—the same as pre-record-

ed DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized,

you can play a DVD-R in a regular DVD player.

The recording mode is closely related to the disc for-

mat. 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).

• 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.

• The Erase Title option in the Title List-Original menu

only hides the title, it does not actually erase the title

from the disc and increase the recording time avail-

able (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-RW

disc in Video mode).

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.

• The overwrite recording is available with DVD+RW

disc.

Recording TV audio channels

Cards capable of displaying and saving

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.

Readable Cards

• SmartMedia Card (SMC)

• Compact Flash Card (CF)

• Micro Drive (MD)

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

can record either the main audio or the SAP audio.

• Secure Digital Card (SD)

• Multi Media Card (MMC)

• Memory Stick (MS)

Restrictions on video recording

• Memory Stick Pro (MS-Pro)

- Compatible with: FAT 12, FAT 16, or FAT 32

- Only use the memory cards recommended.

• 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.

Regarding Write Protect

For cards that have a write protect switch, if the switch

is on it will not be possible to write or erase the contents

of the card.

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

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

below).

Inserting/Removing the Memory Card

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.

CF or MD

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.

Inserting the card.

Insert straight-in until it fits into place.

Removing the card

Extract the card from the card slot.

otes

• Keep the memory card out of reach of children. If

swallowed, seek medical advice immediately.

• This VCR/DVD Recorder can not format a memory

card.

• Audio and video recordings you make using this

recorder are for your personal use only. You may not

sell, lend or rent them to other people.

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 VCR/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.

made, this VCR/DVD Recorder will automatically con-

vert any 96 kHz signals to 48 kHz so your system can

decode them.

made, this unit will pass each type of signal through

without any further processing.

Notes on MP3/WMA Recordings

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 VCR/DVD Recorder can not read an MP3 file

that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.

of a disc.

About WMA (Window Media Audio) Files

A WMA file is made using Microsoft audio

compression technology.

• OFF (No display): Does not play repeatedly.

existing conditions (see above) to insure compatible

playback.

otes

If two or more timer programs 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.

• 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 VCR/DVD Recorder 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 VCR/DVD Recorder to Standby mode.

• You must press STOP to stop the Timer Recording.

• The VCR/DVD Recorder 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.

Confirmation is not possible when:

• Disc Protect setting is set to ON.

• There are already 99 titles (DVD-RW, DVD-R), 49 titles

(DVD+RW, DVD+R) recorded on the disc.

If the disc is damaged, the recording may not complete

successfully. In this case even though the Check field

shows “Rec. OK”, it may not be.

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.

Uncontrollable device.

The VCR/DVD Recorder cannot control the camcorder.

• Digital camcorders can usually record audio as stereo

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

The VCR/DVD Recorder can only record one stereo

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

2 as necessary (see page 26).

Updating the Information.

Camcorder is updating information for DV.

Camera mode.

Camcorder is set to camera mode.

• 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.

• If DV Record Audio is set to Audio 2, but no Audio 2

signal is 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

switch it back on.

• Try switching the audio input.

otes

• Depending on the connected camcorder, you may not

be able to control it using the Remote Control sup-

plied with this VCR/DVD Recorder.

• Before you set the mode of your Camcorder to cam-

era mode, turn down the volume of connected Sound

device. There can be a howling sound.

Title and Chapter Editing

Edits you make to the Original content changes the

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

title or chapter from the Original content (Title or

Chapter), that title or chapter is deleted from the disc,

freeing up extra recording time.

Adding Chapter Markers

Chapter

+RW

You can put a chapter marker anywhere in a title during

recording or playback.

When you edit the Playlist, on the other hand, you are

not changing the content of the disc. For example,

when you delete a title from the Playlist, you are just

telling the recorder not to play that title; nothing is actu-

ally deleted from the disc.

Once the chapter is marked, you can use the Chapter

Search feature, as well as Erase, combine and move

chapters in the Chapter List menu.

ote

Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals auto-

matically. You can change this interval from the Initial

Setup menu (see Auto Chapter on page 26).

Titles, Chapters and Parts

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

chapters. When you insert a title into the Playlist, all the

chapters within that title also appear. In other words,

chapters in the Playlist behave exactly as chapters on a

DVD-Video disc do. Parts are sections of Original or

Playlist titles. From the Original and Playlist menu you

can add or delete parts. Adding a chapter or title to the

Playlist creates a new title made up of a section (ie.,

chapter) of an Original title. Deleting a part removes

part of a title from the Original or Playlist menu.
