Restrictions on 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 a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see below). When recording a TV broadcast or through an external input, you can display copy control information on screen.

What is “CPRM”?

CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system regarding the recording of “copy once” broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media. This DVD 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 formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Troubleshooting

Before requesting service for this DVD recorder, check the table below for a possible cause of the problem you are experiencing. Some simple checks or a minor adjustment on your part may eliminate the problem and restore proper operation.

Symptom Remedy

Power

There is no picture. • Re-connect the connecting cord securely.

Picture noise appears. • The disc is dirty or flawed.

TV program reception does not fill the screen.

TV program pictures are distorted. • Adjust TV antenna.

• If the picture output signal from the DVD recorder passes

through your VCR to get to your TV, or if you are connected to a combination TV/VIDEO player, the copy-protection signal applied to some DVD programs could affect picture quality. If you still experience this problem even when you connect the DVD recorder directly to your TV, try connecting the DVD recorder to your TV's S-VIDEO input.

•Try to set the channels with "Auto Preset" in SETUP menu

(page 18).

buttons.

• Adjust the picture (see the TV's instruction manual).

• Place the DVD recorder and TV farther apart.

• Place the TV and any bunched antenna cables farther apart.

• Connect the antenna cable correctly (page 13).

• If the playback picture output from a DVD player, VCR, or tuner

goes through the DVD recorder before reaching your TV, the copy-protection signal applied to some programs could affect picture quality. Disconnect the playback equipment in question and connect it directly to your TV.

• Re-connect all connections securely.

• The connecting cord is damaged.

• Check the connections to the amplifier input.

• The input source setting on the amplifier is incorrect.

• The recorder is in pause mode or in Slow-motion Play mode.

Analog audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also Digital audio.

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).

Chapter

Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a DVD disc is usually divided into chapters. See also Title.

Component video output

Each signal of luminance(Y) and component(PB/CB,PR/CR) is inde- pendent to output so that you can experience picture color as it is. Also, due to compatibility with progressive video (525p/480p), you can experience higher-density picture than that in interlace (525i/480i).

CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media)

CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system regarding the recording of “copy-once” broadcast programs (e.g. some satellite broadcasts).

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44, 100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to-digital converter, generating a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also Sampling frequency and Analog audio.

DTS (Digital Theater System)

Finalize

To make DVD discs, which have been recorded on, possible to play in DVD players.With this DVD recorder, it is possible to finalize DVD-R/DVD-RW discs.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital and MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digital audio.

Playlist

From this list you can play contents of a disc as your desired order or in sequence.Also it is allowed to search a specific scene directly.

Progressive Scan (525p/480p)

A type of display that does not split each frame into fields, and instead scans directly through all the scanlines of each frame in order. Progressive Scan provides less flickering and higher image resolution than traditional (525i/480i) TV signals.Refer to page 13 for instructions on selective Progressive Scan mode.

Regions code

Regions associate discs and players with particular areas of the world.This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes.You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions).

Sampling frequency

The rate which sound is measured by a specified interval to turn into digital audio data.The numbers of sampling in one second defines as sampling frequency.The higher the rate, the better the sound quality as possible as it is.

SAP (Secondary Audio Program)

Sub-audio channel which is delivered separately from main-audio channel.This audio channel is used as an alternate in bilingual broadcasting.

S-Video output

It delivers independently each signal of color(C) and luminance(Y) to TV as video signals, so that higher-quality picture will be gained.

Title (DVD only)

A collection of chapters on DVD disc. See also chapter.

Track

Audio CDs use tracks to divide up the content of a disc.The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also Chapter.
