Precautions  
When the disc is being loaded in the unit  
If you give a violent shock to the unit or move it with a  
disc loaded because the unit is recording or playing  
back, the disc may be damaged. Be sure to remove a disc  
before moving the unit.  
On safety  
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet,  
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified  
personnel before operating it further.  
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be  
used for an extended period of time.  
• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never  
pull the cord itself.  
On cleaning  
If the casing or panel is dirty, wipe it gently with a soft  
dry cloth. In the event of extreme dirt, use a cloth  
steeped in a neutral detergent to remove the dirt, then  
wipe with a dry cloth. Applying alcohol, thinner,  
insecticides, or other volatile solvents may result in  
deforming the casing or damaging the finish.  
On operation and storage location  
Avoid operation or storage in any of the following  
places.  
• Location subject to extremes of temperature  
(operating temperature range 5°C to 40°C (41°F to  
104°F))  
• Location subject to direct sunlight for long periods, or  
close to heating appliances.  
On repacking and shipping  
Save the original shipping carton and packing material;  
they will come in handy if you ever have to ship your  
unit. For maximum protection, repack your unit as it was  
originally packed at the factory, and take care not to  
impact violent shocks in transit.  
• Damp or dusty places  
• Location subject to severe vibrations  
• Location near equipment generating electromagnetic  
emissions  
• Location near transmitting stations generating strong  
radio waves  
• Location exposed to dripping or splashing. Do not put  
objects filled with liquid, such as vases, on the unit.  
Splashing the unit with liquid may cause a  
malfunction.  
Operate the unit in a horizontal position  
This unit is designed to be operated in a horizontal  
position. Do not operate it on its side, or tilted through  
an excessive angel.  
Avoid violent impacts  
Dropping the unit, or otherwise imparting a violent  
shock to it, is likely to cause it to malfunction.  
Do not obstruct ventilation openings  
To prevent the unit from overheating, do not obstruct  
ventilating openings, by for example wrapping the unit  
in a cloth while it is in operation.  
Condensation  
If you move the unit from a very cold place to a warm  
place, or use it in a damp location, condensation may  
form on the optical pickup. Then, if the unit is operated  
in this state, the unit does not record or play correctly.  
When the power is turned on, the following message  
appears, wait until it disappears before loading a disc.  
On the monitor window: MOISTURE HAS BEEN  
DETECTED.

recording media  
Since rewritable DVD+RW disc is used as a removable  
disc, the disc is automatically finalized and discs  
recorded with this unit can be played on other DVD+RW  
players. Also, the unit searches for the first blank space  
automatically and starts recording from that point. Thus,  
it is not necessary to cue up and you can start recording  
right after you insert the disc.

dynamically according to the images recorded, thereby  
high-quality recording relative to recording time can be  
realized. Also, you can select picture quality from  
among three recording modes: HQ (about 60 minutes:  
CBR (Constant Bit Rate)), SP (about 120 minutes:  
VBR) and LP (about 180 minutes: VBR).  
– Meta data input/output per title  
You can record meta data such as name, ID,  
production date from external equipment for each  
title.

Mbps  
Mbps is the abbreviation of Mega  
bits per second.  
Glossary  
Bit rate  
Mbps is used to indicate the  
transmission speed of data. Bit is the  
unit used to indicate the size of data  
handled in computers. 1Mbps means  
that 1,000,000 digital signals can be  
handled for one second.  
Bit rate is the value indicating  
amount of compressed information  
recorded on the DVD disc per one  
second. The unit is Mbps (Mega bits  
per second) for video signals.  
1Mbps indicates that the amount of  
information per second is 1,000,000  
bits. For audio signals, kbps (kilo  
bits per second) is used. The larger  
this value, the larger the amount of  
information involved. However, this  
value does not relate to the picture  
and sound quality.  
Original title  
Titles actually recorded on the  
DVD+RW (VR mode).  
Once they are edited, they cannot be  
restored to their original state.  
Region code  
A code to specify the region where  
the disc can be played back. DVD  
recorders and DVD players have  
their own region codes. A disc can  
be played back only when the region  
codes of both the player and the  
recorder are the same.  
Chapter  
A segment of an image divided by  
two indexes.  
Dolby Digital format  
Dolby Digital is an audio data  
compression technology developed  
by Dolby Laboratories. This is  
known as “Dolby Surround.” The  
output signals are composed of 1  
channel of woofer for playback of  
the low sound, in addition to right  
and left of front, center, and right  
and left of rear. This is called 5.1  
channel surround. 2-channel  
playback is available for the DVO-  
1000MD.  
Title  
The largest unit of images or music  
recorded on a DVD. Normally, for  
image software, one film is one title,  
and for music software, one album  
(or a piece of music) is one title.  
With the DVO-1000MD, one title is  
the image recorded from the start of  
recording to the end of recording.  
Finalize  
To arrange data on a recorded DVD  
disc so that it can be played back  
with another piece of DVD  
equipment.  
A DVD+RW disc is finalized when  
it is unloaded after being recorded.  
However, finalization is required  
even when a disc is played back  
using equipment compatible with  
DVD+RW discs. The disc can be  
recorded on again even if it is  
finalized.  
Index  
An index is a mark put at a desired  
point during playback or recording.  
The DVO-1000MD can place up to  
99 indexes for one title and up to 256  
indexes on one disc.
