Introduction

Overview of BD-X200 Functions

䡵Video and audio signals from this DVD recorder’s input terminals can be recorded to

DVD-R or DVD-RW (video mode only).

(☞ Page 29) The types of signals that can be used are as follows. Video: Composite video, YC separate, or DV signals (including audio) Audio: Analog audio or DV signals (including video)

䡵A wide range of recording methods are supported. The appropriate method is to be

selected in accordance with the intended mode of use.

●

The REC, PAUSE, and STOP buttons on the front panel can be used for standard operations. (☞ Page 39)

● Recording operations can be carried out using the REC CONTROL panel. Furthermore, a keyboard and mouse can also be

used when recording via this panel. (

☞ Page 41)

●

The BD-X200 features an RS-422A terminal. When it is connected to an RS-422A compatible VCR, therefore, RS-422 control can be used to carry out synchronous recording of the VCR’s video and audio to a DVD. (Various menu settings are required.) Synchro-recording is carried out from the REMOTE CONTROL screen. (☞

Page 59)

●

When a digital video camera or a DV player is connected to the BD-X200 using a DV cable, and when this DVD recorder is setup as the master device for DV control (using menu settings), synchronous recording of any video and/or audio signals from the DV player can be carried out to a DVD. Synchro-recording is carried out from the REMOTE CONTROL screen. (

☞

Page 63)

●

The DV IN/OUT terminal can be used to record audio and video from a non-linear editor to a DVD. In such a case, the BDX200 must be setup as the control slave (using menu settings). The DVD recorder will be controlled by the non-linear editor in this type of setup. (☞ Page 64)

䡵The title and chapter menus can be created either automatically or manually.

(☞ Page 43) Five different patterns have been provided as display styles for the title and chapter menus. Each of these patterns is characterized by different thumbnail characteristics (i.e., number, position, and size) and background images displayed on the title and chapter menu screens. When a display style is selected during the recording of content to a DVD, the BD-X200 will automatically create the title and chapter menus in accordance with this style. The PRESET STYLE MENU screen can be used to modify the thumbnail and background display characteristics of each of the display styles. In addition, the THUMBNAIL EDIT screen and the CHAPTER MENU EDIT screen can be used to modify the display style and thumbnail images for chapter menus, and also to input chapter names and comments. The input of names or comments is carried out using a keyboard connected to one of the recorder’s USB terminals. The TITLE MENU EDIT screen can be used to modify the display style for the title menu and to enter title names.

䡵DVD dubbing can be carried out using the LAN terminal.

This terminal allows two BD-X200 DVD recorders to be connected using a LAN cable, and the recorders can then operate as master and receiver devices during the dubbing of DVDs. (☞ Page 70)

䡵The BD-X200 can be used to play discs that it has created.

(☞ Page 57)

In this way, it is possible to inspect the content of discs finalized using this DVD recorder.

● Once a disc has been finalized, it can also be played on other DVD players.

Precautions for DVD Recorder Use

䡵 Storage & Usage Locations

The storage and usage of this DVD recorder in the following types of location should be avoided.

● Areas at temperatures which deviate by a significant degree

above or below the permitted service temperature range (i.e., 5°C to 35°C).

● Areas at humidities which deviate by a significant degree

above or below the permitted service humidity range (i.e., 20% to 80% RH).

● Areas where a large amount of dust or sand is present.

● Areas where the DVD recorder may come into contact with

oily smoke or steam, such as in kitchens or in their immediate vicinity.

● Areas that are unstable or where significant vibration occurs.

● Areas where condensation occurs readily.

● Areas where strong magnetic fields are generated by

transformers, motors, or the like.

● Areas where transceivers, mobile phones, and other

wireless-communication devices are present.

● Areas that are subjected to X-ray irradiation or where

corrosive gases are present. (This precaution must be strictly observed.)

䡵 Handling

● Ensure that this DVD recorder is placed on a flat, horizontal

surface for use.

● Do not place heavy objects such as a monitor on top of the

DVD recorder.

● Do not insert foreign objects into the disc tray opening.

● Be careful not to get your fingers clamped when loading

the disc to prevent injury.

● Do not block the fan’s ventilation holes.

● Avoid knocking or dropping this DVD recorder.

● When the DVD recorder is to be moved, ensure that any

DVD it contains is removed in advance.

● If the DVD recorder is not to be used for an extended period

of time, please disconnect the AC adaptor to avoid wasting electricity.

䡵 Cleaning the Exterior (with the power off)

Use a soft cloth when cleaning the outside of this DVD recorder. Do not use paint thinners or organic solvents as cleaning agents. Failure to observe these precautions can result in discoloration or melting of exterior surfaces. When stubborn dirt is present, wipe away using a cloth soaked in a dilute neutral solvent.

䡵 Always use the AC adaptor provided with this DVD

recorder.

䡵 Always use the power cord provided with this DVD

recorder.

The usage of a different type of cord or a damaged cord can result in the outbreak of fire or electric shocks.

䡵

The power cord or the AC adaptor supplied with this DVD recorder should not be used with any other device.

䡵 Before connecting the BD-X200 to other devices,

turn those devices off and then carry out setup procedures as described in the corresponding user’s manuals.

䡵

The DVD drive unit is an expendable part. Although the service life of the DVD drive unit differs depending on the usage environment of the customer, replacement every 1000 hours as a guide is recommended. (☞ Page 78 “TOTAL RECORDING TIME”)

Precautions Regarding Condensation

䡵Condensation

When cold water is poured into a glass and droplets of water form on its outer surface, this moisture is referred to as “condensation”.

䡵When condensation occurs

Condensation can cause water droplets to adhere to the DVD recorder’s internal lens, thus making normal operation impossible.

䡵Condensation occurs easily in the following situations,

and the appropriate care should be taken.

• When the DVD recorder is moved from a cold location into a warm room.

• When the room containing the DVD is rapidly heated.

• When an air conditioner’s air duct is pointing straight at the DVD recorder.

䡵In situations where it is likely that condensation will occur,

remove any DVD that may be present in the BD-X200 and then turn the power on. As the interior heats up, condensation will be less likely to occur.

䡵

Condensation is a principal cause of the inability to play discs and other similar problems. In this type of situation, allow the DVD recorder to remain inactive with its power on for several hours. If the problem persists after this period of time has elapsed, contact either the store where the BD-X200 was purchased or your nearest JVC A

uthorized dealer.

Extended Periods of Inactivity

Performance may deteriorate over extended per iods of inactivity; for this reason, the power should be turned on and the DVD recorder should be operated at regular intervals.

Compensation for Damaged Content

䡵JVC accepts no responsibility whatsoever for damages

incurred as a result of an inability to play or record audio and video content in the rare event that this DVD recorder, a DVD-R, or a DVD-RW fails to operate correctly.

䡵It is recommended that discs containing important content

be backed up at regular intervals (i.e., on a yearly basis). Although digital signals do not deteriorate, storage environments can have an effect on a disc’s aging characteristics, and this may result in an inability to play or record.

䡵If a disc should break, there will be no way to recover

data from it.

䡵Proper playback of discs recorded using this DVD recorder

on all devices is not guaranteed.

Introduction

Precautions for Disc Usage

Care of Discs to Ensure High-Quality Playback

䡵Fingerprints, dust, or any other similar contamination of the surface of a disc can lead to distortion in the playback of recorded

video and audio. For this reason, it is good practice to wipe each disc with a soft cloth before use.

䡵 Looking After Discs

● Using a soft cloth, wipe the disc gently from the inside to

the outside.

● If stubborn dirt is present on the surface of a disc, wipe first

using a slightly wet cloth and then using a dry cloth.

● Paint thinners, organic solvents, analog record cleaning

agents, anti-static sprays, and the like must never be used. Failure to observe this precaution can lead to discs being permanently damaged.

䡵 Handling Discs

● Removing a disc ● Placing a disc in its case

● Correct method for holding a disc

Your hands or fingers should not come into contact with the recording surface when holding a disc.

Additional Notes on Disc Handling

䡵Never wipe a disc using paint thinners, organic solvents,

alcohol, or record-cleaning fluid.

䡵Do not use disc protectors or scratch guards. 䡵Stickers and other types of paper label should not be applied. 䡵Do not use discs from which stickers or labels have been

removed.

䡵

Do not use discs on which illustrations or text has been printed using a commercially-available label printer. First create a disc using the unit before printing.

䡵The use of non-circular discs (i.e., heart or rectangular

shaped), warped discs, and cracked discs can lead to breakage of the DVD recorder.

Storing Discs

䡵Avoid storing discs in any of the following locations.

• Areas with high levels of humidity or dust, or areas where mold is present.

• Areas exposed to direct sunlight or close to heating equipment.

•Vehicle interiors during summer months.

• In the case of both DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs, it is impossible to overwrite previously recorded content with new data, even if the disc in question has not yet been finalized. The deletion of specific sections of data is also impossible.

• Regardless of whether or not finalization has been carried out, it will not be possible to use this DVD recorder to record new content to a DVD-R or DVD-RW that has been recorded using other devices.

䡵 Once a disc has been finalized, it can be used as a

standard DVD and its recorded audio and video can be played on this and other DVD players.

•

After finalizing, a disc’s titles can be selected from the top menu.

• Additional recording will not be possible after finalizing.

•

Although a finalized disc may in principle be played on other DVD players, certain characteristics of the disc and its recording conditions may make this impossible.

Playing Discs on the BD-X200

The BD-X200 is capable of playing any discs that it has created and finalized.

●

The following conditions may occur when attempting to play discs recorded using other devices on this DVD recorder.

• Inability to play

• Block-type noise (i.e., mosaic)

• Interruptions in audio and/or video

•

Unintentional stopping during playback

● Commercially-available DVD-Videos and DVD-ROMs cannot be used.

Introduction

Details Regarding Discs (continued)

DVD Data Configuration

Generally speaking, the content recorded on a DVD is separated into large units referred to as “titles”. A unique number called a “title number” is assigned to each of these titles, and as a result, any title can be immediately accessed using its title number. In addition, each title can be divided into smaller units referred to as “chapters”. Similarly, a unique number called a “chapter number” is assigned to each of these chapters, and this allows any chapter to be immediately accessed using its chapter number. Each recording made to a DVD-R or DVD-RW (video mode) is stored as a single title. In this, each pressing of the STOP button to leave Recording mode constitutes a different recording. (This action is also referred to as

“title closing”.) Whenever the PAUSE button is pressed to pause recording, a chapter mark is inserted into the current title. It is also possible to insert chapter marks to partition titles at the desired points by pressing the REC button while recording. In addition, your BDX200 can also be used to automatically insert chapter marks at regular intervals. (CHAPTER CREATION menu settings will be required for this function.)

● Before a title is closed, it will be possible to modify the style

used for chapter menu display, to change the thumbnails used, and to input thumbnail names.

● Before a disc is finalized, it will be possible to modify the style

used for the title menu and to input title names.

Region Codes

One of six numbers referred to as

“region codes” is assigned to DVD content to control the global regions in which this content may be viewed. If a DVD’s region code does not correspond to the region code of the DVD player being used, it will not be possible to play the disc.

● This DVD recorder assigns the region code “ALL” to the discs

that it records.

● It will not be possible to play discs to which region codes have

been assigned.

Screen Sizes

This DVD recorder is capable of recording video content for widescreen TVs (i.e., with a 16:9 aspect ratio). In addition, signals for normal content with a 4:3 aspect ratio, for squeezed content (i.e., where the left and right are compressed), and for letterbox content (i.e., where the top and bottom of the screen are black) can be recorded as is.

● Thumbnail creation method for use in the title/chapter menu

during wide-signal input can be selected in THUMBNAIL FORM of the RECORDER (2/2) menu screen. (☞ Page 81)

Notes

● Do not push the disc tray as it is opening or closing.

● Do not place objects other than discs on the disc

tray.

● Do not press down on the disc tray

DISC FULL DISC FULL All remaining space on the disc is used up during recording.

CELL OVER CELL OVER The number of cells for a single title exceeded 255.

This will be displayed when the recording time for a single title is exceeded as a result of setting ENCODE QUALITY to a low value (i.e., 4 Mbps or lower), recording content with little movement, or other similar factors. No error will be triggered when the time is within that set for the total content.

REGION CODE REGION CODE An attempt was made to play a disc for which a region code has been set.

CAUTION

If alarm messages such as

“INVALID DISC” are displayed several times when a disc recorded using the BD-X200 or a blank disk is inserted, there is a possibility that the disc itself has been damaged. In such a case, the damaged disc should be replaced with a new one. If the alarm messages continue to appear after replacing the disc, the problem may lie within the DVD recorder, and in such a case, you are recommended to contact either the store where this BD-X200 was purchased or your nearest JVC authorized dealer.

DVD Recording

DVD recording is carried out using the following procedure.

Pre-Recording Settings

Preparation of the DVD-R or DVDRW (video mode only).

On-screen settings

Adjustment of audio recording levels.

Selection of styles for the title and chapter menus

● Insert a new DVD-R or DVD-RW (video mode), or alternatively, a similar disc that has

been recorded on using the DVD recorder.

● If the recording on a DVD-RW is to be performed once again from the beginning, erase

the disc’s data using ERASE from the DISC MENU screen. (☞ Page 30)

Use the setting screens to select the appropriate recording signal, setup the recording conditions, and make other necessary settings. (☞ Page 31)

Audio recording levels can be adjusted in one of two different ways. (☞ Page 35)

The title and chapter menus are used during playback of a disc to select the section of the disc to be viewed. A total of five different display styles have been made available for these menus, and these can be selected using the PRESET STYLE MENU screen. In addition, the DVD recorder also allows you to freely modify these display styles. (☞ Page 37)

Recording Operations

(☞ P

age 38)

● The section between the start of recording using the REC and PLAY buttons

and the end of recording using the STOP button constitutes a single recording title, and each title is assigned a unique number. A single disc can contain up to 99 different titles.

●

Each title can be separated into a number of different chapters by inserting chapter marks at the appropriate points. Unique numbers are also assigned to chapters, and a single title can contain up to 99 different chapters.

● Adding chapters

A chapter mark is inserted automatically whenever recording is paused. In addition, CHAPTER CREATION from the RECORDER MENU (1/2) screen can also be used to setup the automatic or manual insertion of chapter marks.

● Thumbnails (i.e., the frame at the start of recording) and backgrounds are

automatically created for the title and chapter menus using the style selected using PRESET STYLE. If EDIT MENU from the SYSTEM MENU screen is set to ENABLE before the start of recording, it will be possible to modify the chapter menu’s style and thumbnails and to insert chapter names and comments whenever recording is stopped (i.e., whenever title closing is performed).

● Once title closing has been carried out, it will not be possible to modify the

chapter menu.

● The REC CONTROL panel can be used to perform recording operations with

a keyboard and mouse. (REC CONTROL from the REMOTE MENU screen must be set to ON.)

● If EDIT MENU from the SYSTEM MENU screen is set to ENABLE, it will be

possible to modify the title menu’s style and to input title names when the disc is being finalized.

Preparing a Disc for Recording

䡵

This DVD recorder is capable of recording to DVD-R and DVD-RW (in video mode).

DVD-R : Only discs that conform with DVD-R Standard 2.0 (video mode) can be used. DVD-RW

: Discs of Version 1.1 or later can be used.

Although Version 1.1 of DVD-RW standards allows the selection of video mode and VR mode for recording, this DVD recorder performs recording in video mode only. *Version 1.0 of the DVD-RW standards does not suppor t video-mode recording, and for this reason, the corresponding

discs cannot be used.

䡵In terms of recording characteristics, DVD-R and DVD-RW (video mode) differ as follows.

DVD-R : Each disc can be recorded only once. Erasing of data and re-recording are not possible. DVD-RW (video mode) : After viewing a disc, all data can be erased and it can be used to record new content.

The condition of the disc being used will dictate the available recording options as follows.

Disc condition Recording operations

DVD-R New content can be recorded. A new title is created and recording

starts from that title’s first chapter.

A new title is created in the unused section of the disc, and recording starts from that title’s first chapter.

DVD-RW New content can be recorded. A new title is created and recording

starts from that title’s first chapter.

A new title is created in the unused section of the disc, and recording starts from that title’s first chapter.

Item Description

TOTAL CONTENTS TIME If you already know the duration of the video to be recorded, this parameter can be set to the

corresponding time to allow your BD-X200 to select the optimum encoding bit rate. (Make a setting in hours and minutes.)

●

If the recording time is set using this parameter, ENCODE QUALITY will be set automatically, and this setting may not be modified manually.

●

If this function is not to be used, set it to NO USE. When this setting is made, ENCODE QUALITY will be returned to its previous setting.

ENCODE QUALITY (Mbps) This parameter can be set when TOTAL CONTENTS TIME has been set to NO USE.

Specifically, it allows direct setting of the encoding bit rate (i.e., the amount of data per second). Large values increase the quality of the video; however, this also increases the overall data size. Setting range: The range of values that can be set depends on the audio encoding format. LPCM : 4.0 to 7.8 Mbps (in 0.2 Mbps steps) DOLBY DIGITAL : 2.0 to 9.0 Mbps (in 0.2 Mbps steps)

Selecting Styles for Title & Chapter Menu

Each recorded DVD contains title and chapter menus that provide infor mation relating to its titles and chapters. Whenever recording is carried out, title numbers, chapter numbers, and thumbnails are automatically generated in order to create the title and chapter menus. Specifically, the frames from the start of individual recordings are used as thumbnails for the title menu. In a similar way, the frames at which chapter marks have been inserted are used as thumbnails for chapter menus. (These thumbnails may be modified later on.) The title menu will become the top thumbnail of the chapter menu. The term “style” is used to refer to a combination of thumbnail characteristics for the title and chapter menus. This DVD recor

der can

store eight different style types, and the PRESET STYLE MENU screen is used to indicate which of these types is to be used.

Press the SET UP button to display the Setup Menu.

Select PRESET STYLE from the Setup Menu and then press the SET button.

● The PRESET STYLE MENU screen will appear. Within this screen, the

STYLE parameter indicates the style type currently selected for the title and chapter menus.

Confirm the settings for the currently selected style.

Select STYLE and then press the SET button to display the corresponding STYLE screen. TITLE PATTERN : The display pattern currently selected for the title

menu. Each display pattern uses different numbers, positions, and sizes for thumbnails, in addition to different backgrounds.

CHAPTER PATTERN : The display pattern currently selected for chapter

menus. Each display pattern uses different numbers, positions, and sizes for thumbnails, in addition to different backgrounds.

Use the cursor buttons (6, 7, t, and

8) to select one of the

eight style types and display the corresponding STYLE screen.

To use a specific style, select the corresponding type number and then press the SET button.

This type number will then be stored by the DVD recorder. Following this, the screen’s BACK button will be highlighted. The SET button can now be pressed to return to the PRESET STYLE MENU screen.

䡵 If BACK is used to exit the STYLE screen without the SET button

being pressed for the newly selected type, the style setting will not be updated.

Recording with the Front Panel

BD-X200 recording operations can be carried out in two different ways — namely, using the buttons provided on the front panel and using the on-screen REC CONTROL panel. In the latter case, furthermore, recording operations can be performed using a keyboard and mouse. The following section, however, will provide a description of recording using the front panel buttons. On a DVD, the section of video recorded between the star t of recording and pressing of the STOP button to end recording is stored as a single title, and a unique title number is assigned to each of these sections. A single disc can contain up to 99 different titles. In addition, each title can be separated into a number of different chapters by inserting chapter marks at the appropriate points, and each title can contain up to 99 chapters. Information relating to titles and chapters is stored on a disc in the form of title and chapter menus. When the disc is being played, therefore, the title and chapter menus can be used to access specific sections of stored video and audio.

● Title thumbnails : The frames at the star t of individual recordings are used as thumbnails. As a result, a title’s thumbnail is

the same as that of its first chapter.

About the audio mode during DV input

When inputting Audio UNLOCK mode signals from the DV input, high harmonic signals modulated from the audio source may be recorded as noise in rare cases. If this occurs, set the audio mode of the input source to LOCK mode, or use the LINE input or YC input. This unit can detect audio signals of UNLOCK mode during DV input. When UNLOCK mode is detected, the unit displays: “DV A UNLOCK” on the unit LCD “UNLOCKED AUDIO(DV)” on the screen until recording is started. (May also be displayed when playing back a blank tape.) In order to achieve higher quality recording, setting the source of DV input to the LOCK mode is recommended. * About audio LOCK/UNLOCK mode For DV digital signals, synchronous relationship of video and audio signals is referred to as LOCK mode, and asynchronous relationship of video and audio signals is referred to as UNLOCK mode. In the case of DV, 44.1kHz mode is normally the UNLOCK mode. For the 48 kHz and 32 kHz modes, settings differ depending on the inputting video device. Please check instruction manual of the used.
