Overview (Continued)  
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 Originaland 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+R and DVD+RW disc  
This indicates a product feature that is capa-  
ble of playing DVD-RW discs recorded with  
Video Recording format.  
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.  
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.  
DVD+RW mode recording

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-  
denly stopping.  
Our company cannot take responsibility for problems  
playing discs recorded on this recorder in other players.

Notes for recording  
About DVD 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.  
• 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.  
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.  
• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect  
playback and/or recording performance. Please take  
proper care of your discs.  
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.  
• 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).  
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.  
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 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).  
• The overwrite recording is available with DVD+RW  
disc.  
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.

Restrictions on video recording  
Remote Control Operation Range  
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).  
• NTSC format signals from the analog or the DV

types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.).  
What is CPRM?  
Reset the Recorder  
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.  
If you observe any of the following symptoms...  
The front panel display is not working.  
The Recorder is not operating normally.  
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.  
...you can reset the Recorder as follows:  
Press and hold the OPERATE button for at least five  
seconds. This will force the unit to power off.  
Press the OPERATE button again to turn the unit  
back on.  
Unplug the power cord, wait at least five seconds,  
and then plug it in again.

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  
No  
To obtain a clear picture  
The 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.

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”.

About WMA(Window Media Audio)  
An WMA file is a Microsoft audio compression  
technology.  
WMA(Windows Media Audio) offers double the  
audio.compression of the MP3 format.  
MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this recorder  
is limited as follows:  
1. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660” and  
“JOLIET”.  
2. If you record MP3/WMA files using the software  
which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example  
“Direct-CD” etc., it is impossible to playback  
MP3/WMA files. We recommend that you use  
“Easy-CD Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 or  
JOLIET file system.

Notes on JPEG Recordings  
ip  
Depending on the size and number of JPEG files, it  
may take several minutes for the recorder to read the  
disc’s content. If you don’t see an on-screen display  
after several minutes, some of the files are too big —  
reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 4  
mega pixels and burn another disc.  
If you are in a file list and want to return to the Folder  
list, use the v / V buttons on the remote to highlight  
the  
icon and press ENTER.  
You can view TV channel or video input source by  
pressing RETURN. If you want to return to the Photo  
menu, press LIST/DISC MENU.  
On CDs with mixed content (audio tracks, MP3/WMA  
files and JPEG files), you can select among the  
AUDIO CD menu, MP3/WMA CD menu, and Photo  
CD menu by pressing TITLE repeatedly in Stop  
mode.  
The total number of files and folders are free but the  
total number of files on the folder should be less than  
999.  
Some discs may be incompatible due to different  
recording formats or the condition of the discs.  
When you are using software such as “Easy CD  
Creator” to burn JPEG files on a CD-R, ensure that all  
selected files have the “.jpg” or “.jpeg” extension  
before copying them into the CD layout.  
Use v / V to select Full Screenoption then  
press ENTER.  
5
If the files have “.jpe” extensions, please rename  
them as “.jpg” or “.jpeg” files.  
File names without the “.jpg” or “.jpeg” extension  
cannot be read by this recorder, even though the files  
are shown as JPEG image files in Windows  
Explorer®.

Even though the timer is set, the recorder will not  
record when:  
• There is no disc (or tape) loaded.  
• A non-recordable disc (or tape) is loaded.  
• Disc Protect is set to ON in the Setup menu  
(see page 27).  
• Power is turned on.  
• There are already 99 titles (DVD-RW, DVD-R) or 49  
titles (DVD+RW, DVD+R) recorded on the disc.  
You cannot enter a timer program when:  
• A recording is already underway.  
• The time you’re trying to set has already passed.  
• There are already 8 timer programs set.  
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.  
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.

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.  
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.

Adding Chapter Markers

You can put 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 delete, combine and move  
chapters in the Chapter List-Original or Chapter List-  
Playlist menu.  
You can insert up to 999 chapter markers in both the  
Original and Playlist contents.  
VR  
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.

Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals auto-  
matically. You can change this interval from the Initial  
Setup menu (see Auto Chapter on page 25).
