Notes :

• This recorder cannot record CD-R or CD-RW discs.

Notes :

• DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a

personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not

play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt of

condensation on the recorder’s lens.

• Depending on the conditions of the recording equip-

ment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD R/ RW) disc itself,

some CD-R/RW (or DVD R/ RW) discs cannot be

played on the VCR/DVD Recorder

• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even

if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are

cases in which it may not play because of the settings

of the application software used to create the disc.

(Check with the software publisher for more detailed

information.)

• Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the

labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.

•

Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped

or octagonal). Doing so may result in malfunctions.

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 VCR/DVD

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 ‘Original’ and ‘Playlist’

Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD

player?

Throughout this manual, you will often see the words

Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and

the edited version.

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.

• 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 recording

This indicates a product feature that is

capable of playing DVD-RW discs recorded

with Video Recording (VR) format.

Notes :

• This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or

CD-RW discs.

What are “Recording modes”? for DVD-RW

• Our company takes no responsibility for recording fail-

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

the recorder.

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.

• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect

playback and/or recording performance. Please take

proper care of your discs.

VR mode recording

Disc types and recording formats, modes,

and settings

• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-

able (SP, LP, EP, XP)

This recorder can play three different kinds of DVD disc:

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

discs. The disc format for DVD-R discs is always “Video

format”—the same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs.

This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD-R

in a regular DVD player.

• Not playable on regular DVD players

• Recordings can be extensively edited

• Total number of titles on the disc should be less than

99.

Video mode recording

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).

• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-

able (SP, LP, EP, XP)

• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)

• Limited editing features

• Total number of titles on the disc should be less than

99.

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.

Note :

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

recording on DVD-R/RW discs that was approved by

the DVD Forum in 2000. You may therefore experience

problems playing recordable DVD discs in some play-

ers. Symptoms include video artifacts, audio and/or

video dropouts and playback suddenly stopping.

Our company cannot take responsibility for problems

playing discs recorded on this VCR/DVD Recorder in

other players.

Restrictions on video recording

Notes for 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.

• 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.

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

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

below).

• 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.

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.

• 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 24 (Disc

Initialize) for how to do this.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• The Erase Title option in the Original (Title) 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).

nology that is protected by method claims of certain

Recording TV audio channels

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.

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

can record either the main audio or the SAP audio.

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.

Remote Control Operation Range

Never operate the VCR/DVD Recorder immediately

after moving it from a cold location to a warm location.

Connections

Cable Service Without Cable Box

Tips :

If your cable wire is connected to your TV without a converter

or descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attach

it to the ANT.IN jack on the VCR/DVD Recorder. Use the

supplied round coaxial cable to connect between the

VCR/DVD Recorder’s OUT TO TV jack and the 75 ohm anten-

na input jack on the TV. With this connection, you can receive

all midband, super band, and hyperband channels. (All cable

channels.)

• Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish

to connect, there are various ways you could connect

the VCR/DVD Recorder. Use only one of the connec-

tions described below.

• Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo

System or other devices as necessary to make the

best connections.

• For better sound reproduction, connect the recorder’s

AUDIO OUT jacks to the audio in jacks of your

amplifier, receiver, stereo or audio/video equipment.

See “Connecting to Optional Equipment” on page 17.

Cable Service With Cable Box

If a converter is required in your cable system, follow the

instruction below:

The cable hookup permits both TV and VCR/DVD Recorder

operation.

AUDIO

Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options.

Set the VCR/DVD Recorder’s Audio Output according to

the type of audio system you use.

Sampling Freq. (Frequency)

If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling

96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice is

made, this VCR/DVD Recorder will automatically con-

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

decode them.

Dolby Digital

If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling

96 kHz signals, select 96 kHz. When this choice is

made, this unit will pass each type of signal through

without any further processing.

PCM: Select when connected to a 2-channel digital stereo

amplifier. The VCR/DVD Recorder’s digital audio outputs

sounds in the PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video

disc recorded on the Dolby Digital recording system.

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”.

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.

Chapter

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 Erase, combine and move

chapters in the Chapter List-Original or Chapter List-

Playlist menu.

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.

You can insert up to 999 chapter markers in both the

Original and Playlist contents.

Titles, Chapters and Parts

Note :

Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals auto-

matically. You can change this interval from the Initial

Setup menu (see Auto Chapter on page 24).

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.
