INTRODUCTION

Overview (Continued)

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 (XP, SP, LP, EP)

• Not playable on regular DVD players

• Recordings can be extensively edited

Video mode recording

• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-

able (XP, SP, LP, EP)

• 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?

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.

About DVD+R and DVD+RW disc

How are DVD+R and DVD+RW discs different?

DVD+RW is a re-recordable/erasable medium. You can

re-record/ erase a DVD+RW disc approximately 1,000

times.

able (XP, SP, LP, EP)

• Playable on regular DVD players

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 26 (Disc

Initialize) 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.

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.

• Recording equipment should be used only for lawful

copying and you are advised to check carefully what

is lawful copying in the country in which you are mak-

ing a copy. Copying of copyright material such as

films or music is unlawful unless permitted by a legal

exception or consented to by the rights owner.

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 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.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,

thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static

spray intended for older vinyl records.
