otes

• The DVD Recorder+VCR cannot record on CD-R or

CD-RW discs.

• 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 or

condensation on the DVD Recorder+VCR’s lens.

otes

– Depending on the conditions of the recording equip-

ment or the recordable disc (including CD-R/RW,

DVD-R/-RW, and DVD+R/+RW), some discs cannot

be played on this DVD Recorder+VCR.

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

labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.

• 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 use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped

or octagonal). Doing so may result in malfunctions.

Regional code of the DVD Recorder+VCR and DVDs

This DVD Recorder+VCR is designed and manu-

factured for playback of Region 1 encoded DVD

software. The region code on the labels of some

DVD discs indicates which type of DVD

Recorder+VCR can play those discs. The DVD

Recorder+VCR can play only DVD discs labeled 1 or

ALL. If you try to play any other discs, the message

“Incorrect region code. Can’t playback” will appear on the

TV screen. Some DVD discs may not have a region code

label even though their playback is prohibited by area

limits.

• The company cannot be held responsible to compen-

sate for material which did not record as intended,

and any losses or damages (e.g., loss of profit or

interruption of business) that may arise from the mal-

function of this recorder (not recording/editing as

intended). This includes problems arising in the fol-

lowing situations:

- When a DVD disc recorded on this DVD

Recorder+VCR is used in another manufacturer’s

DVD recorder, or used (loaded, played, recorded or

edited) in the DVD drive of a personal computer.

- When a DVD that has been used as above is used

again in this DVD Recorder+VCR.

otes on DVDs and Video CDs

Some DVD and Video CD playback operations may be

intentionally set by the software manufacturer. As this

DVD Recorder+VCR plays DVDs and Video CDs

according to disc content designed by the software

manufacturer, some DVD and Video CDs playback fea-

tures may not be available or other functions may be

added. Refer also to the instructions supplied with your

DVDs and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business

purposes may not be played on this unit.

- When a DVD disc recorded in another manufactur-

er’s DVD recorder, or in the DVD drive of a person-

al computer.

Types of Video CDs

There are two types of video CDs:

Finalized DVD discs are DVD-Video discs.

Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)

PBC (Playback control) allows you to interact with the

contents of a Video CD using menus, search functions,

and other special operations. High resolution pictures

can be displayed if they are included on the disc.

Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1)

Video CDs without PBC are similar to audio CDs,

except they allow playback of video as well as sound.

What is ‘DoMiNoFX™’?

DoMiNoFX™ is a patented video process-

ing technology that digitally enhances and refines the

picture quality during recording. This results in visibly

superior recordings, and a dramatic improvement when

recording from noisy source material, such as VHS

tapes or weak TV signals.

Overview (Continued)

Is Editing a DVD like Editing a Videotape?

About DVD-R and DVD-RW discs

No. When you edit a videotape 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. During playback, the DVD

Recorder+VCR plays the disc according to your Playlist.

How are DVD-R and DVD-RW discs different?

DVD-R is a record-once medium, while DVD-RW is a

re-recordable/erasable medium. You can re-record/

erase an RW disc approximately 1,000 times.

Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD

player?

“Original” Content vs “Playlist” Content

Generally, DVD-R discs and DVD-RW discs recorded in

“Video mode” are playable in most standard DVD play-

ers, but they must be finalized first. This process fixes

the contents of your discs so they are readable on other

DVD players as standard DVD-Video discs. DVD-RW

discs recorded in “VR mode” (Video Recording mode)

are only readable on players with the “RW Compatible”

logo.

Throughout this manual, you will often see the words

“Original” and “Playlist” to distinguish between the actu-

al content on your DVD-RW and the edited version.

• Original: Refers to what is actually recorded on the

disc.

• Playlist: Refers to the edited version of the disc —

i.e., how the Original content is to be played.

About DVD Recording

This logo indicates that a product is capable

of playing DVD-RW discs recorded in “VR

mode”.

otes

• The DVD Recorder+VCR cannot make recordings on

CD-R or CD-RW discs.

• Our company takes no responsibility for recording fail-

ure due to power outages, defective discs, or damage

to the DVD Recorder+VCR.

• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect

playback and/or recording performance. Please take

proper care of your discs.

What are “Recording Modes”?

Two recording modes are available on your DVD

Recorder+VCR: “Video mode” and “VR mode”:

About “VR mode”

• Compatible with DVD-RW discs only

• Allows extensive editing of DVD-RW recordings

• Discs are not playable on regular DVD players

• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings are

available: XP (1 hr/disc), SP (2 hrs/disc), LP (4

hrs/disc), and EP (6 hrs/disc)

The DVD Recorder+VCR recorder can play three differ-

ent 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-record-

ed DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized,

you can play a DVD-R in a regular DVD player.

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).

About “Video mode”

• Compatible with both DVD-R and DVD-RW discs

• Provides limited editing features

• Playable on most regular DVD players (after finaliz-

ing)

• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings are

available: XP (1 hr/disc), SP (2 hrs/disc), LP (4

hrs/disc), and EP (6 hrs/disc)

ote

Discs formatted in “Video mode” are recorded in the

DVD-Video format, which was approved by the DVD

Forum in 2000. As a result, you may experience prob-

lems playing your discs in some older players.

Symptoms include video artifacts, audio and/or video

dropouts and playback suddenly stopping. Our compa-

ny cannot take responsibility for problems playing discs

recorded on this DVD Recorder+VCR in other players.

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

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.

• Video that is ‘Copy-Once Only’ can only be recorded

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

below).

• The recording times shown are not exact because the

DVD Recorder+VCR 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.

• 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.

• The recording time available may decrease if you

heavily edit a disc.

• If you are 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 25 (Disc Initialize) for instructions on 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.

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.

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

formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only

be played on players that are specifically compatible

with CPRM.

• 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).

• This product incorporates copyright protection tech-

nology that is protected by method claims of certain

U.S.patents and other intellectual property rights

owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights

owners. Use of this copyright protection technology

must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and

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 DVD Recorder+VCR 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 (depending on the oper-

ating environment.) For details, please contact your

nearest dealer.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,

thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static

spray intended for older vinyl records.

Moisture Condensation

Never operate the DVD Recorder+VCR immediately

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

Leave it for two or three hours without operating it. If

you use the DVD Recorder+VCR in such a situation, it

may damage discs/tapes and internal parts.

Remote Control Operation Range

Point the remote control at the remote sensor and

press the buttons.

You cannot enter a Timer Recording if:

• A recording is already under way.

• The start time has already passed.

Be sure to load a recordable disc or tape.

• Eight Timer Recordings have already been set.

ote

• The Timer indicator lights on the front panel display.

• If the Disc and Tape indicator are blinking, either no disc

or tape is loaded, or the loaded disc is not recordable.

• The DVD Recorder+VCR will record the audio according

to the current TV tuner setting (Stereo, Mono or SAP).

Use the AUDIO button to set the audio before switching

the DVD Recorder+VCR to Standby mode.

• You must press STOP to stop the Timer Recording.

• The DVD Recorder+VCR will automatically power off

when the Timer Recording ends.

If two or more Timer Recordings 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.

Confirmation is not possible when:

• The Disc Protect setting is set to ON.

• There are already 99 titles recorded on the disc.

• There is a short delay when a timer recording finishes to

confirm the recorded program. If two timer recordings are

set to record sequentially (one right after the other), the

very beginning of the later program may not be recorded.

If the disc is damaged, the recording may not complete

successfully, even if the Check field shows “Rec. OK”.

Title and Chapter Editing

About Original vs. Playlist Content

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. You can insert up to 999 chapter markers in both

the Original and Playlist contents.

Edits you make to the Original content of a DVD-RW

disc in VR mode change the actual content of the disc.

For example, if you delete a title or chapter from the

Original content, that title or chapter is deleted from the

disc, freeing up extra recording time.

When you edit a Playlist, however, you are not chang-

ing the content of the disc. For example, when you

delete a title from a Playlist, you are just telling the

recorder not to play that title; nothing is actually deleted

from the disc.

ote

Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals auto-

matically. You can change this interval in the Setup

menu (see Auto Chapter on page 25).

About Titles, Chapters and Parts

Play the title (Original or Playlist).

Titles in the disc’s Original content contain one or more

chapters. When you insert a title into a Playlist, all the

chapters within that title also appear. In other words,

chapters in a Playlist behave exactly the same as chap-

ters on a DVD-Video disc.

At the point you want to start a new chapter,

2 _{press ADD CHAP.}

A Chapter Marker icon appears on the TV screen.

• You can also put chapter markers during recording.

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 a Playlist creates a new title

made up of a section (i.e., chapter) of an Original title.

Deleting a part removes part of a title from the Original

or Playlist menu.

Changing Title Thumbnails

Thumb.

Each title displayed in the Title List menu is represented

by a thumbnail picture taken from the start of that title or

chapter. If you prefer, you can select a different still pic-

ture from within the title.

Caution

• When editing using the Delete, Add and Move func-

tions, the start and end frames may not be exactly as

set in the start and end point display.

• During Playlist playback, you may notice a momen-

tary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.

Play the title (Original or Playlist).

Press THUMBNAIL to make the currently dis-

2 _{played picture the one that appears in the}

Original or Playlist menu.

The still picture that you choose appears in both the

Original and Playlist menu.

You can also change the thumbnail picture of the title on

the Chapter List-Original or Chapter List-Playlist menu.

Select a chapter on the Chapter List-Original or Chapter

List-Playlist menu then press THUMBNAIL. The thumb-

nail picture of the title that includes the chapter is

changed.

Use this function to add an Original title or chapter to a

Playlist (you can even delete parts you don’t want later

— see “Deleting Titles/Chapters” on page 51).

You can add an Original title or chapter to a new or

existing Playlist.

Press DISC MENU/LIST repeatedly to display

the Title List-Original menu.
