Overview (Continued)
About DVD+R and DVD+RW disc
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.
DVD+RW mode recording
• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-
able (XP, SP, LP, EP)
• Playable on regular DVD players
• The edited contents is playable on regular DVD play-
ers only after finalizing
• Recordings can be edited the title/chapter
DVD+R mode recording
• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-
able (XP, SP, LP, EP)
• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)
• Any edited contents are not be compatible on regular
DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter
mark, etc.)
• Limited title/chapter editing features
DVD +R (Double Layer)
Double layer recording technology offers two recordable
layers on a single DVD disc, providing nearly double the
capacity of 4.7GB single layer DVDs. The greatest,
most valuable benefit of double layer recording technol-
ogy is increased capacity. Storage space is nearly dou-
bled with double layer DVD+R media, allowing con-
sumers to burn up to 8.5GB of video on a single
DVD+R disc.

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.
• The overwrite recording is available with DVD+RW
disc.
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.

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.

Connect the COMPONENT/PROGRESSIVE SCAN
VIDEO OUT jacks on the Recorder to the correspon-
ding input jacks on the TV using an Y Pb Pr cable (C).
ꢀ Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish
to connect, there are various ways you could connect
the recorder. Use only one of the connections
described below.
ꢀ Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo
System or other devices as necessary to make the
best connections.
®
Progressive Scan (ColorStream Pro) connection
If your television is a high-definition or “digital ready” tel-
evision, you may take advantage of the recorder’s pro-
gressive scan output for the highest video resolution
possible. If your TV does not accept the Progressive
Scan format, the picture will appear scrambled if you try
Progressive Scan on the recorder.
Caution

TV. Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.
– Do not connect the Recorder’s AUDIO OUT jack to
the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio system.
– Do not connect your Recorder via your VCR. The
DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection
system.
Connect the COMPONENT/PROGRESSIVE SCAN
VIDEO OUT jacks on the Recorder to the correspon-
ding input jacks on the TV using an Y Pb Pr cable (C).

If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling

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

warm place.
•
Keep the Recorder plugged into an AC power outlet
with POWER On. This will help prevent condensation.
• When condensation has occurred, wait a few hours
for the Recorder to dry before using it.
