This product satisfies FCC regulations when shielded cables and connectors are used to connect the unit to other equipment. To prevent electromagnetic interfer- ence with electric appliances, such as radios and televi- sions, use shielded cables and connectors for connec- tions.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug. If it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used.

Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.

However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains socket, as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accor- dance with the following code: -

BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE

As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, pro- ceed as follows: -

The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the ter- minal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connect- ed to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO

THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH

THE LETTER E OR BY THE EARTH SYMBOL, OR

COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.

General Features

The DVD-D-R3 allows you to record and play high qual- ity digital images on DVD-RAM/DVD-RW/DVD-R discs. You can record and edit digital images on DVD- RAM/DVD-RW/DVD-R discs as if they were VCR tapes.

High quality digital audio and video recording and playback

Selectable Recording Mode

You can set your recorder to one of five different recording speeds, each varying in recording quality and length. EP mode yields the most recording time, LP & SP modes provide less recording time with higher quality recording, and XP mode gives you the highest quality recording. There's also the FR (Flexible Recording) mode that lets you record with the best picture quality possible for the recording time and remaining space on the disc in timer recording.

Automated Quality Adjustment for Timer Recording

If FR mode is selected, the video quality is adjusted automatically so that all images for the scheduled time can be recorded onto the free disc space.

(See page 42.)

Time Slip and Picture In Picture (PIP)

How to use the DVD

Recorder

Step 1 Select the disc type

This unit can record on the following types of discs. If you want to repeatedly record on the same disc or you want to edit the disc after recording, select a rewritable DVD-RW or DVD-RAM type disc.

If you want to save recording without any change, choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.

Step 2 Format the disc to start recording

Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts format- ting when an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the preparation of recording on a disc.

Using a DVD-RAM

This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). You can edit recorded image and create a playlist and edit images in a specific sequence according to your requirements.

Using a DVD-RW

This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks whether to format in VR Mode or not is displayed. You can play a Video mode disc on various DVD com- ponents. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing.

Using a DVD-R

This type of disc can be formatted in DVD Video format. After formatting is complete, you can record on the disc. You can play this type of discs on various DVD components only when they have been finalised.

???You can only use one format on a DVD-RW.

NOTE

???You can change the DVD-RW for- mat to another format. It should be noted that the data of the disc may be lost when changing formats.

Getting Started

There are two different recording methods, Direct Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is classified as recording type : Once, Daily or Weekly or recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP (extended mode) according to the recording mode. When recording is set in the FR mode, the best quality picture is recorded with regards to the remaining time on the disc.

You can select the title you want to play in a displayed menu and then immediately start playback.

A DVD consists of sections, called titles, and sub sections, called chapters.

During recording, a title is created between two points where you start and stop recording. DVD-R/DVD-RW discs (in Video mode) can automatically create chap- ters according to the recording mode when finalised.

Step 5 Editing a recorded disc

Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes. The recorder supports many different edit functions, possible only with DVDs.

With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate various edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename, lock, etc., on a recorded title.

Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/-RW in VR mode)

With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on the same disc and edit it without the change of the original recording.

Step 6 Finalizing & Playing on other DVD components

To play your DVD on other DVD components, finaliz- ing may be necessary. First, finish all editing and recording operations, then finalise the disc.

When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode

Although finalizing is generally unnecessary when playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible component, a finalised disc should be used for playback on that type of component.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode

The disc should be finalised first to enable playback on anything other than this recorder. No more editing or recording can be made on the disc once it has been finalised.

When using a DVD-R disc

You should finalise the disc to play it on a component other than this recorder. You cannot edit or record on the disc once it has been finalised.

Editing

This section introduces basic functions of DVD editing and explains both edit functions for the recording on a disc and edit functions for the entire disc.

???Title List

Title refers to a recorded video and audio stream. Title List shows a list to help you select a title. Since the title list consists of the information on stream that is actually recorded, if one title is deleted, that title cannot be played again.

???Play List

This refers to a unit of playback, which is made by selecting a desired scene in the entire Title List. When one playlist is played, only the scene selected by the user will play and then stop. Since only the information necessary for playing a desired scene is included in a playlist, even if that playlist is deleted, the original stream will not be deleted.

If recording or editing could have not been finished properly because of any kinds of error, such as sudden power failure, the recording or editing might have not been done.

Please be aware that a material that has been damaged is unable to be retrieved to its original content.
