NOTE: Should a power failure occur or should the AC cord plug be discon- nected while recording, editing, ini- tializing, finalising or any other func- tion, the program being recorded will be lost or the disc may not be play- able. Manufacturer can not guaran- tee against loss of program or disc should this occur. To start recording again, re-format the disc or use a new disc and follow the instruction on re- cording. NOTES: Recording time can change for the following reasons. When image quality is poor as dur- ing poor TV reception. When recording on a disc that has been edited before. When the video is followed with re- cordings of still images or just au- dio. © 46 T7] | 2D51021A[E] P42-55 4 Types of disc You can use DVD-RW and DVD-R discs to record video. DVD-RW discs + Ver 1.1 and later discs can be formatted for recording in either of the two modes: the VR mode or the Video mode. Ver.1.0 discs can only be formatted for recording in the VR mode. High quality images and sound can be repeatedly recorded about 1,000 times. A disc formatted in the VR mode can have as many as 99 original titles and playlist titles each. Discs formatted in the Video mode can have up to 99 original titles. DVD-R discs + Discs can only be recorded in the Video mode. + Discs can be recorded only once. + Up to 99 titles can be created. For more information on recording format, see “Recording for- mat” (page 8). Notes on recording in the Video mode + The Video mode cannot be selected for Ver. 1.0 DVD-RW discs. + The remaining available area on the disc decreases as recording progresses. Additional contents can be recorded in the remaining time area, but it cannot be overwritten into the recorded area. To format a new DVD-RW in the Video mode, set the automatic for- mat feature to the Video mode. (See page 21.) Recording modes There are 4 modes for recording on disc. Recording time and quality vary according to mode. Recording : : Recording time Qualit mode s » XP___[Approx. 60 min Can record high quality images. SP [Approx. 120 min Can record normal quality images. Quality deteriorates slightly, but LP Approx. 240 min recording time is longer. Recording time is prioritised over SLP | Approx. 360 min Salt. + Recording time above is based on a 4.7GB disc. Since DVD recording is performed using VBR (Variable Bit Rate), re- cording time varies according to the recorded content. To know the correct recording time, stop recording and check the me- dia information. (See page 30.) 7/20/04, 5:40 PM

Read this before recording on disc NOTES: + When using one touch timer re- cording to record on a DVD disc, it takes some time from when you press @ REC/OTR until recording actually starts. Press @ REC/OTR 2 little before your preferred starting point. Even if STOP is pressed during recording, recording does not stop instantly. Recording may continue for as long as 5 seconds maximum in the VR mode or 30 seconds maximum in the Video mode. Because of characteristics pecu- liar to digital video compression technology, scenes with fast mo- tion may appear as a matrix of larger blocks. + During recording, if the picture noise continues for 1 minute, the recording will stop automatically. Disc remaining time VR mode Recording is possible as long as there is available space on the disc. (Finalised discs can be recorded by cancelling the finalisation, see “UNDO FINALISE" on page 21.) Erasing unnecessary title frees up available space on the disc. (Titles can be erased from finalised discs by first undoing the finalisation. See “UNDO FINALISE” on page 21.) Video mode + Up until the disc is finalised, recording is possible as long as there is available space on the disc. (Once the disc has been finalised, addi- tional recording and erasing are not possible.) + The remaining time cannot be increased, nor can recorded title be overwritten. + Titles cannot be erased nor can recorded titles be overwritten. Images that cannot be recorded Some DVD-Video and broadcasts contain copy-restriction signals to protect copyrights. There are 3 types of copy-restriction signals: “Copy Free”, “Copy Never” and “Copy Once”. “Copy Free” (unrestricted recording) & Land-based TV broadcasts and images you record yourself with a video à ® camera allow unrestricted recording. There are no restrictions on re- bé cording. “Copy Never” (recording prohibited) Images that contain the recording prohibited signal cannot be re- corded. Ifthe recording prohibited signal appears halfway through an image you are recording, recording is paused at that instant. When the recording prohibited signal ends, recording resumes. This unit incorporates a built-in copy guard. It cannot record soft- ware or broadcasted programs that contain copy restriction signals designed to protect copyright, etc. “Copy Once” (one-time recordable) Programs (images) that contain the one-time recordable signal can be recorded only in the VR mode using a DVD-RW disc that supports CPRM Ver. 1.1. 47 © 2D51021A[E] P4255 «7 A 7/20/04, 5:40 PM

Editing the disc This section explains how to edit the recorded contents on DVD- RWs. However, the items that you can edit vary with the recording formats. In VR mode, you can e. various title menus, whereas in Video mode, you can edit only a few items. NOTES: + This unit can not record or edit a disc which was recorded or edited using another DVD recorder. You cannot edit or record the disc on which disc protection is set. In such a case, be sure to cancel the disc protection (see page 21) be- fore starting the operation. When a scene has been erased, the selected position for erasing may vary slightly from the actual erased position. T7] | 2D51021A[E] P42-55 55 Title menu For the disc in VR mode, when the content is recorded, a title name that includes the date, time, channel number and other information is created automatically. For the disc in Video mode, when you record a content first time on the disc where nothing is recorded, the recorded content is automati- cally set to Title1. Then, the second recorded content is set to Title2, and so on. Therefore, the title is numbered according to the recording order. The title is created max. 99. The title menu lists up these titles. The title menu can be used when you playback after confirming the contents (see page 29), or when you check the contents recorded on the disc. Original title The titles explained above are called original titles; these will be added with every recording. In VR mode you can do various editing opera- tions i.e., you can rename the titles, or add the chapter marks. In addi- tion, you can erase the unnecessary titles to increase the disc space. Playlist You can create a playlist based on the original titles. You can combine or erase undesired scenes. If you create a playlist it will become the primary list used by the disc. If you create a playlist to customise your viewing preferences, and choose to delete it, the original titles will not be affected. It is recom- mended to create and edit the playlist to prevent important titles from being erased accidentally. If you create a playlist, both the original title and playlist will be dis- played on the title menu. Editable items The items that can be edited are different between original title and playlist. For the disc in Video mode, only the title name can be edited. The items can be edited in each are as follows: FE VR mode Video mode Editing items _ Original Playlist Original Playback Y Y Y Adding chapter mark Y N N Combining chapters Y N N Erasing scenes Y Y N Erasing titles Y Y N Renaming titles Y Y Y Creating playlist Y N N Combining titles N Y N If you finalise the disc in Video mode, the title list will be created and you cannot use the title menu. 55 @ 7/20/04, 5:41 PM

Video head cleaning Video Head Clogging The video heads record and playback pictures and sound on the video tape. In the event that they become dirty you won't be able to do a perfectrecording andthe playback picture will be extremely snowy. Also, keep in mind that a poor tape quality and a damaged cassette may contribute to the rapid accumulation of dirt on the heads. Good Picture Snowy Picture Automatic Head Cleaning System The Automatic Head Cleaning System cleans the video heads automatically when a cassette is inserted and ejected to prevent dirt from accumulating on the heads. However, manual head cleaning is neededifthe picture on playback is still unclear although the picture on program is normal. This failure signifies that the head is getting dirty and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. lfthe heads require cleaning, use a high quality head-cleaning cassette or have them cleaned professionally. Attention: Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures even after having been carefully cleaned. 79 @ 2D51021A[E] P74BACK 7 A 7/20/04, 5:42 PM
