Introduction
Overview of BD-X200 Functions
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)
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 41)
● 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 43)
●
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 64)
● 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 64)
● 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 BD-
X200 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 73)
The title and chapter menus can be created either automatically or manually.
(☞ Page 45)
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.

● Areas that are subjected to X-ray irradiation or where
corrosive gases are present. (This precaution must be
strictly observed.)
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 inser t 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

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.
Always use the AC adaptor provided with this DVD
recorder.
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.
The power cord or the AC adaptor supplied with this
DVD recorder should not be used with any other device.
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.
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
87 “TOTAL RECORDING TIME”)
Precautions Regarding Condensation
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”.
When condensation occurs
Condensation can cause water droplets to adhere to the
DVD recorder’s internal lens, thus making normal
operation impossible.
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.
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.
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
Authorized dealer.
Extended Periods of Inactivity
Performance may deteriorate over extended periods 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
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.
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.
If a disc should break, there will be no way to recover
data from it.
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
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.
Looking After Discs
● Using a soft cloth, wipe the disc gently from the inside to
the outside.
● If stubbor n 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.
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
Never wipe a disc using paint thinners, organic solvents,
alcohol, or record-cleaning fluid.
Do not use disc protectors or scratch guards.
Stickers and other types of paper label should not be applied.
Do not use discs from which stickers or labels have been
removed.
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.
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
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.
Ta ke care to avoid dropping or knocking discs.
Place discs in cases and stack these cases for storage.
Discs can be deformed or cracked as a result of stacking,
leaning, or dropping when not inside a case.

RWs can render them unsuitable for recording or playback.
Recommended manufacturers
DVD-R : JVC, Maxell, TDK 1=, 2=, 4=
DVD-RW : JVC, TDK 1=, 2=
DVD-R & DVD-RW Details
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 the DVD-RW Standards
allows the selection of either video mode or VR mode
for recording, this DVD recorder performs recording
in video mode only.
*Version 1.0 of the DVD-RW Standards does not
support video-mode recording, and for this
reason, the corresponding discs cannot be used.
In terms of recording characteristics, DVD-R and DVD-RW (video
mode) differ as follows.
DVD-R
• Each disc can be recorded only one. Accordingly, these
discs are recommended for use in archiving or long-term
storage.
• Once a disc has been finalized, it can also be played on
other DVD players.
DVD-RW (video mode):
• After viewing a disc, all data can be erased and it can be
used to record new content.
• Once a disc has been finalized, it can also be played on
other DVD players.
• It is possible to cancel the finalization and add a recording.
Finalizing
When a DVD-R or a DVD-RW (video mode) has been finalized,
it can be played in the same way as any other DVD using a
standard DVD player. (☞ Page 44)
Recording to unused sections of a disc and the
modification of titles or display styles can be carried
out as required before a disc is finalized.
• 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.
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.
• In the case of a DVD-RW, it is possible to cancel the
finalization and add a recording.
• 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”.)
It is also possible to insert chapter marks to partition titles at the
desired points by pressing the REC button while recording.
It is possible to automatically add a chapter mark when recording
is temporarily stopped by pressing the PAUSE button. (Set from
the menu.) In addition, your BD-X200 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 MENU (2/2) screen. (☞ Page 90)

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
● Inser t 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 31)
Use the setting screens to select the appropriate recording signal, setup the recording
conditions, and make other necessary settings. (☞ Page 32)
Audio recording levels can be adjusted in one of two different ways. (☞ Page 36)
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 39)
Recording Operations
(☞ Page 40)
● The section between the star t 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
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 support video-mode recording, and for this reason, the corresponding
discs cannot be used.
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.
Erase the recorded data (as described below), and then record
new content.

Notes
● If data has been erased from a disc using a different DVD recorder, it may not be possible to record new content to it using
this recorder. To avoid this type of situation, ensure that this DVD recorder is used to erase recorded data.
● New content cannot be recorded to discs that have been finalized.
It is possible to cancel the finalization and add a recording to a DVD-RW finalized on this machine.
● 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 on using other devices.

Selecting Styles for Title & Chapter Menu
Each recorded DVD contains title and chapter menus that provide information 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 recorder can
store eight different style types, and the PRESET STYLE MENU screen is used to indicate which of these types is to be used.
1.
Press the SET UP button to display the Setup Menu.
2.
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.
3.
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.
4.
Use the cursor buttons (6, 7, t, and 8) to select one of the
eight style types and display the corresponding STYLE screen.
5.
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.
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 start 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.

Changing Chapter Menus (THUMBNAIL EDIT Screen)
This DVD recorder can automatically create title and chapter menus as recording operations are started and stopped.
Title and chapter menus are created using the following.
● Title or chapter names : Numbers are applied based on the recording sequence.
● Chapter thumbnails : The frames at which chapter marks have been inserted are used as thumbnails.
● 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.
● Display style : Menus are created using the style set using the PRESET STYLE MENU screen. (Styles determine
factors such as thumbnail positioning and background)
After chapter menus have been created in this way, it will be possible to modify thumbnails and styles, or to insert new names and
comments.
In specific terms, the editing of chapter menus is carried out using the THUMBNAIL EDIT screen that appears when recording of a
