Hint 2: Edit the recorded disc

You will find editing discs is easy. This unit offers convenient edit functions which are possible only with DVD-R/RW discs.

You can edit the following from a title list.

  • Putting names on titles
  • Setting pictures for thumbnails (VR mode)
  • Setting/clearing chapter markers
  • Deleting parts of titles or scenes (VR mode)

Title Delete : This deletes an entire scene permanently from the disc.

Scene Delete : This allows a user to edit within a specific scene (ex. commercials).

Original and Playlist (VR mode)

You can edit the recordings in Playlist without changing the original recordings. Playlist does not take up much disc space.

What "Original" or "Playlist" is for?

Throughout this manual, you will find Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and the edited version.

  • 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.

Finalizing a Disc

  • This will allow a disc that is recorded on our unit to be played back on a different DVD player- without finalization it will not be playable on another player.
  • After finalizing a disc if the recording was in video mode, you can not edit any information that is on that disc.
  • If you have recorded in VR mode on DVD-RW disc then editing is still permitted after finalizing.

Information

This DVD recorder can record to DVD-R and DVD-RW discs. When recording, you will need to select a recording format between Video mode and VR mode depending on the disc format. The disc format for DVD-R is always "Video format," so a recording format will be "Video mode". On the other hand, when recording to DVD-RW, a recording format will be "Video mode" or "VR mode" because a disc format is available between "Video Recording format" and "Video format" for DVD-RW.

Restrictions on recording

You cannot record copy-protected video using this DVD 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). When recording a TV broadcast or through an external input, you can display copy control information on screen.

What is "CPRM"?

CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system regarding the recording of "copy once" broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media. This DVD 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.

Recording

Information on DVD recording (cont'd)

Information on copy control

Some satellite broadcasts include copy-protected information. For recording these, refer to the following.

  • The audio and video quality is getting poorer as the Recording time becomes longer.
  • This recorder cannot record CD-RW or CD-R discs.

- DVD-RW/R and CD-RW/R 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 player's lens.

- 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.)

• Discs recorded in Video mode on this DVD recorder cannot record additionally using other DVD recorders.

- A DVD-RW disc formatted with this unit cannot be used in other DVD recorders without any recording using this unit.

Glossary

Analog audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also Digital audio.

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).

Chapter

Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a DVD disc is usually divided into chapters. See also Title.

Component video output

Each signal of luminance(Y) and component(PB/CB, PR/CR) is independent to output so that you can experience picture color as it is. Also, due to compatibility with progressive video (480p), you can experience higher-density picture than that in interlace (480i).

CPRM

(Content Protection for Recordable Media)

CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system regarding the recording of “copy-once” broadcast programs (e.g. some satellite broadcasts).

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44, 100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to-digital converter, generating a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also Sampling frequency and Analog audio.

Dolby Digital

The system to compress digital sound developed by Dolby Laboratories. It offers you sound of stereo(2ch) or multi-channel audio (up to 5.1ch).

DTS (Digital Theater System)

DTS is a 5.1 channel surround sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by Digital Theater System, Inc.

Finalize

To make DVD discs, which have been recorded on, possible to play in DVD players. With this DVD recorder, it is possible to finalize DVD-R/DVD-RW discs.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

MP3 is a method of compressing files. You can copy MP3 files on CD-RW/R discs from the computer and play the files on this unit.

PCM

(Pulse Code Modulation)

The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital and MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digital audio.

Playlist

From this list you can play contents of a disc as your desired order or in sequence. Also it is allowed to search a specific scene directly.

Progressive Scan (480p)

A type of display that does not split each frame into fields, and instead scans directly through all the scanlines of each frame in order. Progressive Scan provides less flickering and higher image resolution than traditional (480i) TV signals. Refer to page 13 for instructions on selective Progressive Scan mode.

Regions code

Regions associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions).

Sampling frequency

The rate which sound is measured by a specified interval to turn into digital audio data. The numbers of sampling in one second defines as sampling frequency. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality as possible as it is.

SAP

(Secondary Audio Program)

Sub-audio channel which is delivered separately from main-audio channel. This audio channel is used as an alternate in bilingual broadcasting.

S-Video output

It delivers independently each signal of color(C) and luminance(Y) to TV as video signals, so that higher-quality picture will be gained.

Title (DVD only)

A collection of chapters on DVD disc. See also chapter.

Track

Audio CDs use tracks to divide up the content of a disc. The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also Chapter.
