the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought  
from the copyright owner.

Restrictions on video recording  
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).

programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media.  
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.

soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presen-  
tation possible, thanks to digital audio technology.  
However, you may wish to compress the dynamic  
range of the audio output (the difference between the  
loudest sounds and the quietest ones). This allows  
you to listen to a movie at a lower volume without los-  
ing clarity of sound. Set DRC to [ON] for this effect.

About DVD recording  
Notes for recording  
The recording times shown are not exact  
because the recorder uses variable bit-rate video  
compression. This means that the exact record-  
ing time will depend on the material being record-  
ed.  
Notes:  
This Recorder cannot record CD-R or CD-RW  
discs.  
Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can  
affect playback and/or recording performance.  
Please take proper care of your discs.  
If you record still pictures or audio only, the  
recording time may be longer.  
The company does not hold any responsibility to  
compensate the contents which should have  
been recorded, and any losses or damages (e.g.  
losses of business profit, or business intermis-  
sion) that may arise from malfunction of this  
recorder (not recording/editing as intended).  
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  
19 (Initialize) for how to do this.  
Disc types and recording formats, modes,  
and settings  
When using a DVD-R or 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.  
This recorder can play many different kinds of DVD  
discs: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW,  
DVD-R, DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format  
for DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW discs is always “Video  
format”—the same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs.  
This means that once finalized, you can play a  
DVD-R, DVD+R, or DVD+RW in a regular DVD play-  
er.  
The DVD-RW disc format is Video Recording (VR)  
format or Video format. You can change Recording  
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 for-  
mat is Video format, then the recording mode is  
Video mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not  
recordable, and so does not have a recording mode).  
These can be changed as required for each record-  
ing and determine the picture quality and how much  
space the recording will take up 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 Delete 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 available (except for the last  
recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in Video mode).  
Overwrite recording is available using DVD+RW  
discs.  
When using a DVD+R/RW, the recorder will exe-  
cute the Menu-making operation to update the new  
title and editing when removing the disc from the  
recorder.

You can create chapters within a title by inserting  
chapter marks at the desired points.  
Titles, Chapters and Parts  
Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or  
more chapters. When you insert a disc’s title into the  
Playlist, all the chapters within that title also appear.  
In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exact-  
ly 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.  
Note:  
Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals  
automatically. You can change this interval from the  
Initial Setup menu (see [Auto Chapter] on page 19).  
During recording or playing back, at the point you  
want to start a new chapter, press CHP. ADD.

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  
Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.
