Overview
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. Once this process is
complete, no further recordings can be added.
What can I do with my DVD Recorder?
Your DVD Recorder 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 can be played on other DVD video players and DVD-ROM drives.

Remark :
A DVD Recorder that supports ‘dual media’ recording allows DVD+RW format recording (+VR) on either DVD-R,
DVD-RW, DVD+R or DVD+RW media. Any editing feature that is available with the +RW logical format is
available on any of the media types. This system allows the flexibility for the consumer to use any of the above
media formats for recording in the same system. Since the +VR format is DVD-Video compatible, the consumer
can take any disk recorded on this platform and should be capable of playing it back on the majority of DVD
players on the market.

About DVD Recording
Notes on Recording
• The recording times shown are not exact because the DVD 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.
• 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 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. 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 DVD+RW discs with CPRM.
Copyright Notice
• Audio and video recordings you make using the DVD Recorder are for your personal use only. You may not
sell, lend, or rent them to other people.
• This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain
U.S.patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights
owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is
intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision
corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.
Overview
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
AAA
AAA
NoYes
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.
Remote Control Operation Range
Point the remote control at the remote sensor and press the buttons.
Distance: Within 23 ft (7 m) of the remote sensor.
Angle: Within 30° in each direction of the remote sensor.
Remote Control Battery Installation
Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control, and insert two AAA
batteries. Make sure the polarities (+ and -) are aligned correctly.
Caution
Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types of batteries (standard,
alkaline, etc.).
Overview
INTRODUCTION
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
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.

You will need to activate the DVD Recorder’s digital output; see ‘AUDIO Settings‘ on page 24.
Digital Multi-Channel Sound?
A digital multi-channel connection provides the best sound quality. For this you need a multi-channel
audio/video receiver that supports one or more of the audio formats supported by your DVD Recorder (MPEG 2,
Dolby Digital, and DTS). Check the receiver manual and the logos on the front of the receiver.
• Due to the DTS Licensing agreement, the digital output will be in DTS digital out when DTS audio stream is
selected.
• If the audio format of the digital output does not match the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will produce
a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.
• 5.1 channel digital surround sound via the digital connection can only be obtained if your receiver is equipped
with a digital multi-channel decoder.
• To see the audio format of the current DVD on the on-screen display, press [AUDIO].
CONNECTIONS
The DVD Recorder does not perform internal (2- channel) decoding of DTS sound tracks. To enjoy DTS multi-channel
surround, you must connect the DVD Recorder to a DTS compatible receiver via one of the DVD Recorder’s digital
audio outputs.
