Introduction
Overview of 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 38)
Recording operations can be carried out using the REC CONTROL panel. Furthermore, a keyboard can also be used when
recording via this panel. ( Page 40)
Recording can be operated via the external switch that is connected to the foot switch terminal. (
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, this DVD recorder will automatically create the title and chapter menus in accordance with this style. The DVD 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.
This DVD recorder can be used to play discs that it has created. ( Page 53)
Once a disc has been finalized, it can also be played on other DVD players.

Precautions for DVD Recorder Use
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.)
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 set the POWER switch to OFF to avoid wasting electricity.
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 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 supplied with this DVD recorder should not be used with any other device.
Before connecting this DVD recorder 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 63 “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 this DVD recorder 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 this DVD recorder was purchased or your 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 disc 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 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.
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.
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.
Storing Discs

Introduction
Component Names & Functions
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 disc 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, this DVD recorder can also be used to automatically insert chapter marks at regular intervals. (CHAPTER CREATION menu settings will be required for this function.)

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.

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 28)
Use the setting screens to select the appropriate recording signal, setup the recording conditions, and make other necessary settings. ( Page 29)
Audio recording levels can be adjusted in one of two different ways. ( Page 32)
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 DVD MENU screen. In addition, the DVD recorder also allows you to freely modify these display styles. ( Page 35)
Recording Operations ( Page 37)
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.
(chapter mark)
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
If the REC button is pressed while recording, chapter mark and index will be inserted. 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 and indexes. When the INDEX CREATION item on the RECORDER MENU (2/2) screen is set to AUTO, indexes will be inserted automatically together with chapters at the record start point and recording pause point.
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 STYLE from the DVD MENU screen. If EDIT MENU from the DVD 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. (REC CONTROL from the REMOTE MENU screen must be set to ON.)
If EDIT MENU from the DVD 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.
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.
DVD-R
DVD-RW
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
New content cannot be recorded to discs that have been finalized.
Regardless of whether or not finalization has been carried out, it will not be possible to use this DVD recorder to record new
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.

Title & Chapter Menus
This DVD recorder can automatically create title and chapter menus in response to recording operations and can save these to the disc being recorded. When the disc is subsequently played, these title and chapter menus can be used to access specific sections of stored video and audio.
When recording is stopped using the STOP button or a similar action (i.e., disc closing), a title number and a thumbnail (corresponding to the frame at the start of recording) will be created to form part of the disc’s title menu. A single disc can contain up to 99 different titles.
Similarly, if a chapter mark is inserted during recording, a chapter number and a thumbnail (corresponding to the frame at the chapter mark) will be created to form part of the title’s chapter menu. Chapter marks are used as targets for skipping during playback. Each title can contain up to 99 chapters. In addition, indexes will be inserted together with chapters. (Please see page 56 for details on indexes.)

Chapter menus
Display Styles
A total of eight different display styles can be used with title and chapter menus. The DVD MENU screen can be used to select the type of style to be used in the creation of title and chapter menus. In addition, each of the display styles can be modified as required. (Page 36) Depending on the style used and the number of menu items, title and chapter menus may extend over more than one page.
Notes
This DVD recorder can store a total of six different display patterns for title and chapter menus.
At the time of purchase, this DVD recorder will contain five different template files. Any of the stored display patterns can be selected to change the styles applied to each of the title and chapter menus.
Modifying Chapter Menus
A chapter menu’s display style and thumbnails can be edited at the end of recording (i.e., during title closing); furthermore, titles and comments for the chapter menu can also be input at this time. (EDIT MENU from the DVD MENU screen must be set to ENABLE for this to be possible.) ( Page 43)
Modifying the Title Menu
The style used for the title menu and the text input for the title name may both be modified before finalizing is carried out. (EDIT MENU from the DVD MENU screen must be set to ENABLE for this to be possible.) ( Page 49)
Notes
Thumbnail of the title menu will be the top thumbnail of the chapter menu.
Once a title is closed, it will no longer be possible to modify the chapter menu.
No modifications whatsoever will be possible when the disc has been finalized.
When a disc is finalized, its title menu will be used to create the top menu.

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 DVD MENU screen is used to indicate which of these types is to be used.

Recording with the Front Panel
This DVD recorder 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. 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.

Use the FOOT SW2 terminal to write chapter marks (indexes). The FOOT SW2 item on the REMOTE menu screen can be used to specify whether to use the FOOT SW2 terminal as well as to specify conditions for using the terminal. ( Page 69)
It is necessary to set this unit to the Recording mode or Recording pause mode in advance when using the FOOT SW1 terminal.
End recording and remove the disc.
Depending on how the disc will be used, one of two different procedures is implemented at this time.
If more content will be recorded to the disc using this DVD recorder:
Simply press the OPEN/CLOSE button and remove the disc. (Do not finalize the disc before it is removed.) * The AUTO FINALIZE item on the DISC menu screen will have to be set to

It is possible to insert a chapter mark either manually or automatically.
Indxes are written together with chapter marks. The actual method to be used is determined by CHAPTER CREATION and SET INTERVAL from the RECORDER MENU (1/2) screen.
If chapter marks are to be inserted manually at any point, set CHAPTER CREATION to MANUAL. Chapter marks and indexes can then be inserted by pressing the REC button while recording.
If chapter marks are to be inserted automatically, first of all set CHAPTER CREATION to AUTO. Then use SET INTERVAL to set a time (in minutes) for chapter mark insertion. The DVD recorder will insert chapter marks and indexes at the corresponding intervals during recording.
Whether a chapter mark is automatically inserted or not during a recording
pause is set with the AUTO CHAPTER (REC PAUSE) item. ON : Insert a chapter mark. OFF : Do not insert a chapter mark.
Notes
When the INDEX CREATION item on the RECORDER MENU (2/2) screen is set to AUTO, indexes will be inserted together with chapters at the record start point and reording pause point.
The frame at which a chapter mark is inserted will be used for the corresponding thumbnail in the chapter menu. When EDIT MENU from the DVD MENU screen is set to ENABLE, the frames used for thumbnails can be modified on the THUMBNAIL EDIT screen that appears automatically at the end of recording.
Each title can contain up to 99 chapters.
In certain cases, the frames used for chapter menu thumbnails may differ
slightly from the exact frames at which the corresponding chapter marks were inserted.
Indexes can be added or deleted when in the Playback mode.

a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the mea­sured field strength in the location in which the Model BD-X201ME is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Model BD-X201ME should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Model BD-X201ME.
b
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
