Recordable Discs

DVD-RW (Digital Video Disc - ReWritable): These Discs can be recorded on repeatedly. Recordings can be erased, then you can record again on the same Disc.

DVD-R (Digital Video Disc - Recordable): These Discs can be recorded only once. After you finalize a DVD-R, you cannot record on it or edit it.

DVD+RW (Digital Video Disc + ReWritable): These Discs can be recorded on repeatedly. Recordings can be erased, then you can record again on the same Disc.

DVD+R (Digital Video Disc + Recordable): These Discs can be recorded only once. After you finalize a DVD+R, you cannot record on it or edit it any more.

Notes :

• This Recorder cannot record CD-R or CD-RW discs.
• DVD-R/RW, 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 Recorder'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.)

In addition, this unit can play DVD-R/DVD-RW discs; DVD+R/DVD+RW discs; CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW discs that contain audio titles, MP3 files, WMA Files, or JPEG files; SVCD; and kodak picture CDs.

Notes :

• Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment 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 unit.
• 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.
• Depending on the recording software & the finalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW or DVD±R/RW) may not be playable.

Regional code of the DVD Recorder and DVDs

This DVD Recorder is designed and manufactured for playback of Region 2 encoded DVD software. The region code on the labels of some DVD discs indicates which type of DVD Recorder can play those discs. This unit can play only DVD discs labeled 2 or ALL. If you try to play any other discs, the message "Incorrect region code. Can't play back" 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.

Notes on DVDs and Video CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers. As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to disc content designed by the software manufacturer, some playback features of the unit may not be available or other functions may be added.

Refer also to the instructions supplied with the DVDs and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business purposes may not be played on the unit.

Disc-related terms

Title (DVD only)

The main film content, 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 chapters. 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.

Track (Video CD and Audio CD only)

Sections of a picture or a musical piece on a Video CD or an Audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number, enabling you to locate the track you want.

Scene

On a Video CD with PBC (Playback control) functions, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called "Scenes". Each scene available is displayed on the Scene menu and assigned a scene number, enabling you to locate the scene you want.

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 resolution 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 Symbols

About the ⊗ symbol display

“ ⊗ ” may appear on the TV screen during operation. This icon means the function explained in this owner's manual is not available on that specific disc, or at that time.

About the disc symbols for instructions

A section whose title has one of the following symbols are applicable only to those discs represented by the symbol.

Many functions provided on this Recorder are dependent on the recording mode. One or more of the symbols (____, ____, ____, ____) appear by each function (explained in this manual) so that you can see at a glance whether it's applicable to the disc loaded.

About recordable discs

How are recordable discs different?

The essential difference among DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW is that DVD-R and DVD+R are record-once medium, while DVD-RW and DVD+RW are re-recordable/erasable medium. You can re-record/ erase a DVD-RW and DVD+RW disc approximately 1,000 times.

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

Generally, DVD-R, DVD+R 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 contents 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.

Unfinalized DVD+RW discs are playable in a regular DVD player.

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

What are 'recording modes'?

There are various recording modes available using this Recorder. When recording to a DVD-R, DVD+R or DVD+RW 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 available (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 available (HQ, SQ, LQ, EQ)
• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalization)
• Limited editing features

DVD+RW mode recording

• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings available (HQ, SQ, LQ, EQ)
• Playable on regular DVD players
• The edited contents is playable on regular DVD players only after finalizing
  • Recordings can be edited the title/chapter

DVD+R mode recording

• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings available (HQ, SQ, LQ, EQ)
• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalization)
• Any edited contents are not be compatible on regular DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter mark, etc.)
• Limited title/chapter editing features.

Note :

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 artifacts, audio and/or video dropouts and playback suddenly 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?

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 Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.

About word 'Original' and 'Playlist'

Throughout this manual, you will often see the words 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.

About DVD recording

Notes :

• This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or CD-RW discs.
• Our company takes no responsibility for recording failure due to power outages, 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 discs: 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-recorded 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 (VR) 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 format. 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 them 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.

Recording TV audio channels

This recorder can record either NICAM or regular audio. If the NICAM setting (page 22) 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.

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 recording 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 29 (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 available (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in Video mode).
  • Overwrite recording is available using DVD+RW discs.

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 system) only allowing the recording of 'copy once' broadcast 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.

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.

Edits you make to the Original content change 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 actually deleted from the disc.

Titles, Chapters, and Parts

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

• When editing using the Delete, Add, or Move functions, the start and end frames may not be exactly as set in the starting and ending points display.
• During Playlist playback, you may notice a momentary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.

Adding Chapter Markers

You can put a chapter marker anywhere in a Playlist or Original title during playback.

Once the chapter is marked, you can use the Chapter Search feature, as well as delete, combine and move chapters in the Chapter List-Original or Chapter List-Playlist menu.

Note :

Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals automatically. You can change this interval from the Initial Setup menu (see Auto Chapter on page 29).

1 Play the title (Original or Playlist).
2 At the point you want to start a new chapter, press CHP ADD.

A chapter marker icon appears on the TV screen.

- You can also put chapter markers in while recording.

Changing Title Thumbnails

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, select a different still picture from within a title.

1 Play the title (Original or Playlist).
2 Press THUMBNAIL to make the currently displayed picture the one that appears in the Original or Playlist menu.

The still picture that you choose appears in both the Original or Playlist menu.

Tip

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 thumbnail picture of the title that includes the chapter is changed.

Making a New Playlist

Use this function to add an Original title or chapter to the Playlist. When you do this, the whole title is put into the Playlist (you can delete bits you don't need later — see Deleting a Title/Chapter on page 52).

Playing Your Recordings on Other DVD Players (Finalizing a Disc)

Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs recorded in Video mode, finalized DVD+R or DVD+RWs. A small number of players can also play DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode, finalized or not. Check the manual that came with the other player to check what formats of discs it will play.

Finalizing 'saves' the recordings and editings in place so that the disc can be played on a regular DVD player or computer equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive. Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen for navigating the disc. The menu can be accessed by pressing MENU/LIST or TITLE.

To finalize a disc, refer to "Finalize" on page 30.

Notes :

• Unfinalized DVD+RW is playable on regular DVD players.
• The edited contents of a DVD+RW disc is compatible on regular DVD players only after finalization.
• Any edited contents of the DVD+R disc are not compatible on regular DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter mark, etc.)
