Overview

DVD, DVD+R, DVD+RW?

What is a DVD?

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a storage medium that combines the convenience of the compact disc with the latest digital video technology. DVD video uses modern MPEG2 data compression technology that enables an entire feature film to be stored on a single five inch disc.

How good is the resolution of DVD compared with VHS?

The razor-sharp digital images have more than 500 lines of resolution at 720 pixels per line. This is more than twice as high as VHS and even better than laser disc quality. DVD picture quality is easily comparable to the digital masters produced in recording studios.

What is a DVD+RW?

DVD+ReWritable uses ‘phase change‘ media, the same technology on which rewritable CDs are based. A highperformance laser is used to change the reflective properties of the recording layer; this process can be repeated more than a thousand times.

What is a DVD+R?

Unlike a DVD+RW disc, a DVD+R (write-once DVD) can only be written to once. If it is not finalized after a recording, further recordings can be added to it. Old recordings can be deleted but they can no longer be overwritten. The deleted recordings (titles) are marked 'deleted title'.

Before a DVD+R can be played in a DVD player, it must be finalized in the DVD Recorder+VCR. Once this process is complete, no further recordings can be added.

What can I do with my DVD Recorder+VCR?

Your DVD Recorder+VCR is a machine for recording and playing back digital video discs with ‘two-way‘ compatibility with the universal DVD video standard. This means:

• existing DVD video discs can be played on the recorder.

• recordings made on your DVD Recorder+VCR can be played on other DVD video players and DVD-ROM

drives.

Regional code

If the region number on your DVD disc does not correspond to the region number of this player, the disc cannot be played.

ALL

Which discs you can use

The following discs can be used in your DVD Recorder+VCR:

Playback and recording

DVD+RW (Digital Versatile Disc + ReWritable)

DVD+R (Digital Versatile Disc + Write-Once)

Notes on Recording

• The recording times shown are not exact because the DVD Recorder+VCR 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.

• Discs recorded at high speeds (equal to or greater than 2X) may not be recognized.

• 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 the exact length of the disc.

• The available recording time may decrease if you heavily edit a disc.

• 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.

Recording TV Audio Channels

The DVD Recorder+VCR can record one or two channel audio. For TV broadcasts, this usually means mono or stereo, but some programs are broadcast in bilingual audio channel. You can record either BIL I, BIL II or both.

Restrictions on Video Recording

• You cannot record copy-protected video using this DVD Recorder+VCR. Copy-protected video includes DVD-

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

sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.

Cleaning Discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center outward.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.

Auto Clock Set

Auto Clock enables the DVD Recorder+VCR to set the clock automatically whenever it is in Standby mode (plugged in but powered off).

Auto Clock is only available for models with the VPS/PDC function. Some broadcasting stations may send the time and date along with the VPS/PDC

data. The video will automatically use this time and date during the initial setting up procedure during normal use, and every time you switch the video off at the mains. If you find that this time and date is incorrect you can remove this feature by following the steps below changing it to the OFF mode, you will then have to manually set the time and date, see above.

Use […/†] to select 'Auto Clock Set' and press [ENTER].

Use […/†] to change the 'Auto Clock Set' status, and press [ENTER] to confirm.

AV Link

If your TV is AV Link available, you can download the channels information from your TV set, connecting the SCART1 jack to TV.

Follow the same procedure as ‘Auto Clock Set’ to set the ‘AV Link’ status.

VPS/PDC

VPS/PDC is a service provided by some stations to enable you to perform timer recordings precisely even if the broadcaster delays the start time of the programme slightly. The time you enter is the VPS/PDC time so this must be correct. Not all stations offer VPS/PDC, in which case the player will start at the time you enter and not the actual start time of the programme.

If you wish to start recording at a specific time without it being adjusted by the VPS/PDC system in the event of a delay, switch VPS/PDC off otherwise the player will not record.

Follow the same procedure as ‘Auto Clock Set’ to set the ‘VPS/PDC’ status.
