Introduction

Overview of 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 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. (

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, 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.

䡵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

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 set the POWER switch to OFF 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 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 supplied with this DVD recorder should not be used with any other device.

䡵 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.

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 63 “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 this DVD recorder 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 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

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 disc 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.

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.

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.

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.

䡵Take care to avoid dropping or knocking discs. 䡵Place discs in cases and stack these cases for storage. 䡵Discs can be deformed or cracked as a result of stacking,

leaning, or dropping when not inside a case.

DVD-R and 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.

䡵 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.

䡵 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.

䡵 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.

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.

• 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 this DVD recorder

This DVD recorder 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)

• 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 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.)

Disc

Title 1

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3

Chapter 1 Chapter 2

Title 2

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 DVD MENU screen. (☞ Page 65)

● 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.

● 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

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.

If additional recording is to be performed:

Press the OPEN/CLOSE button and remove the disc.

Processing After Recording (☞ Page 42)

If the disc is to be played on this DVD recorder or on a different DVD player:

Finalize the disc. To do this, select FINALIZE from the DISC MENU screen. * When a disc has been finalized, it will not be possible to record more content to it or to

modify its menu styles.

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.

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 disc that has been recorded on using other devices.

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.)

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.

● Thumbnail creation method during wide-signal recording can be selected in THUMBNAIL FORM of the DVD MENU screen.

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

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.

Title & Chapter Menu Settings

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.

● Chapter thumbnails : The frames at which chapter marks have been inserted are used as thumbnails.

● Title thumbnails : The frames at the start 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 DVD 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 title is ended.
