Disc Compatibility & Care

Discs

Discs Suitable for Playback

TM TM

DVD Video: This unit plays DVDs recorded for a

particular region. The region mark on the back of the player must correspond to that on any DVD discs you wish to play. Units sold in North America are coded for Region 1, and are compatible with discs marked accordingly.

TM TM

DVD-R/RW: These discs can be played back when

recorded in standard DVD Video format.

TM TM

DVD-Audio: This unit will playback only the 5.1CH

sound track on DVD-Audio discs.

ALL

TM TM

Discs Suitable for Recording

DVD+R

DVD+R: These discs can only be written to once.

Existing recordings can be hidden but not deleted. So, any disc space already used by a recording cannot be regained. DVD+R discs are required to be "Finalized" before they will be compatible with standard DVD Players. Once a disc is finalized, no further recordings can be made.

DVD+RW

DVD+RW: DVD+RW discs can be written to and

erased multiple times. Existing recordings can be deleted and disc space regained. These discs do not require a finalization procedure. As soon as a recording is made, the disc will be compatible with standard DVD Players.

CD-Audio: An on-screen navigator is provided to select and play tracks when using CD-Audio discs.

Video CD (VCD/SVCD): On VCD/SVCD discs, advanced features such as PBC (Playback Control) are available.

JPG

CD-R/RW: This unit features an on-screen navigator for easy access to playable files stored on CD-R/RW discs, such as JPG images and MP3 music.

Caring for Optical Discs

Hold a disc by the rim or with an index finger in the central hole. Never touch the signal surface.

Labels

Tapes

Labeling Side

Surface

Finger prints or stains on the surface of the disc may cause signal loss.

Use a soft cloth and wipe in a radiating manner from the center of the disc to the outer rims when cleaning the disc surface.

Never add labels or adhesive tapes on the discs and be careful not to scratch or damage the disc surface.

To prevent discs from becoming bent or deformed, they should be vertically kept in the disc storage case. To prevent damage, avoid leaving discs in your car, where they may be subject to direct sunlight and high temperature.

Do not use any disc accessory to improve the audio quality, disc protective solutions or lens cleaner. These products may damage the disc surface.

Typical Connection to TV

Your new recorder comes with composite video (A/V) cable for connection to TVs with a standard video input as shown below. On most TVs, this connector is colored yellow, and is normally accompanied by stereo audio inputs, colored red and white for stereo channels right and left, respectively.

Connections

First, use the supplied A/V cable to connect to

the composite video input on your TV. This is normally a yellow-colored connector that matches the Video output on the back of this unit. To hear sound through the TV, connect the red and white stereo audio connections as well.

Turn on the DVD Recorder. Press
