Disc-related terms

Title (DVD only)

The main film content or accompanying feature content or music album.

Each title is assigned a title reference number enabling you to locate it easily.

Chapter (DVD only)

Sections of a picture or a musical piece that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of one or several chap- ters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number to enable you to locate the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chapters may not be labeled.

A scene may be composed of one or several tracks.

Types of video CDs

There are two types of video CDs:

Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)

PBC (Playback control) functions allow you to interact with the system via menus, search functions, or other typical computer-like operations. Moreover, high resolu- tion still pictures can be played if they are included on the disc.

Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1)

Operated in the same way as audio CDs, these discs allow playback of video pictures as well as sound, but they are not equipped with PBC.

About DVD-R and DVD-RW disc

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.

Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD player?

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.

DVD-RW discs recorded in VR (Video Recording) mode are playable in some players.

This indicates a product feature that is capa- ble of playing DVD-RW discs recorded with Video Recording format.

What are ???recording modes????

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.

VR mode recording

???4 different picture quality/recording time settings avail- able (HQ, SQ, LQ, EQ)

???Not playable on regular DVD players

???Recordings can be extensively edited

Video mode recording

???4 different picture quality/recording time settings avail- able (HQ, SQ, LQ, EQ)

???Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)

???Limited editing features

ote

DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for recording on DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs that was approved by the DVD Forum in 2000. You may therefore experience problems playing recordable DVD discs in some players. Symptoms include video arti- facts, audio and/or video dropouts and playback sud- denly stopping.

Our company cannot take responsibility for problems playing discs recorded on this recorder in other players.

Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?

About DVD+R and DVD+RW disc

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.

DVD+RW mode recording

???4 different picture quality/recording time settings avail- able (HQ, SQ, LQ, EQ)

???Playable on regular DVD players

???The edited contents is playable on regular DVD play- ers only after finalizing

???Recordings can be edited the title/chapter

DVD+R mode recording

???4 different picture quality/recording time settings avail- able (HQ, SQ, LQ, EQ)

???Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)

???Any edited contents are not be compatible on regular DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter mark, etc.)

???Limited title/chapter editing features

About DVD recording

otes

???This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or CD-RW discs.

???Our company takes no responsibility for recording fail- ure due to power cuts, defective discs, or damage to the recorder.

???Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect playback and/or recording performance. Please take proper care of your discs.

Disc types and recording formats, modes, and settings

This recorder can play five different kinds of DVD disc: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, DVD-R, 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.

By default, the DVD-RW disc format is Video Recording format, though you can change this to Video 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 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).

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.

Notes for recording

???The recording times shown are not exact because the recorder uses variable bit-rate video compression. 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 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 27 (Disc Format) for 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.

???The Erase 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 avail- able (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in Video mode).

???The overwrite recording is available with DVD+RW disc.

Recording TV audio channels

This recorder can record either NICAM or regular audio. If the NICAM setting (page 21) is set to Auto, then if the broadcast is NICAM, you can record the NICAM audio.

If the broadcast is non-NICAM, the regular audio is always recorded.

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).

???NTSC format signals from the analog or the DV inputs is not recorded correctly with this recorder.

???Video signals in SECAM format (from the built-in TV tuner or from the analog inputs) are recorded in PAL format.

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 format- ted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Remote Control Operation Range

Precautions

Handling the unit

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.

To keep the surface clean

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 the unit

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.

To obtain a clear picture

The 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.)

For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

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.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case.

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.

Cleaning discs

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.

Yes No

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.

MP3 Disc compatibility with this recorder is limited as follows:

1.CD-R physical format should be ???ISO 9660??? and ???JOLIET???.

2.If you record MP3 files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example ???Direct- CD??? etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We recommend that you use ???Easy-CD Creator???, which creates an ISO9660 or JOLIET file system.

3.Total number of files and folders on the disc should be less than 999.

This DVD Recorder requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files) that require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.

Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.

Notes on JPEG Recordings

Depending on the size and number of JPEG files, it may take several minutes for the recorder to read the disc???s content. If you don???t see an on-screen display after several minutes, some of the files are too big ??? reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 4 mega pixels and burn another disc.

The total number of files and folders are free but the total number of files on the folder should be less than 999.

Some discs may be incompatible due to different recording formats or the condition of the discs.

When you are using software such as ???Easy CD Creator??? to burn JPEG files on a CD-R, ensure that all selected files have the ???.jpg??? or ???.jpeg??? extension before copying them into the CD layout.

If the files have ???.jpe??? extensions, please rename them as ???.jpg??? or ???.jpeg??? files.

File names without the ???.jpg??? or ???.jpeg??? extension cannot be read by this recorder, even though the files are shown as JPEG image files in Windows Explorer??.

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.

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.

Titles, Chapters and Parts VR

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.

Caution

???During Playlist playback, you may notice a momen- tary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.
