Introduction

Overview of Functions

 Video and audio signals from this DVD recorder’s input terminals can be recorded to DVD-R/DVD-RW (video mode

only) or DVD+R/DVD+RW (compliance with video mode). (X Page 28)

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)

 Playback images that were recorded to an unfinalized DVD by the DVD recorder can be captured and recorded to an

identical DVD as JPEG files. (X Page 43)

 Video from the DVD recorder’s input terminals can be captured and recorded to a CD-R/RW as JPEG files.

(X Page 44)

 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. (X Page 39)

• Recording can be operated via the external switch that is connected to the foot switch terminal. (X Page 40)  The title and chapter menus can be created either automatically or manually. (X Page 47)

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. (X Page 57)

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

Precautions for DVD Recorder Use

Introduction

 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, hori-

zontal 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. (X Page 68 “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.

 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.

 Take 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.

DVD-R/-RW and DVD+R/+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 rea-

son, the corresponding discs cannot be used. In terms of recording characteristics, DVD-R/DVD-RW (video mode) and DVD+R/DVD+RW (compliance with video mode) differ as follows.

 DVD-R/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)/DVD+RW (compliance with

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 DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW have been finalized, they can be played in the same way as any other DVD using a standard DVD player. (X Page 42)

 Recording to unused sections of a disc and the modifi-

cation of titles or display styles can be carried out as required before a disc is finalized.

• In the case of both DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs and DVD+Rs/

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 DVD-R/DVD-RW and DVD+R/ DVD+RW that have 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 or 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)

• Interruptions in audio and/or video

• Unintentional stopping during playback

• Commercially-available DVD-Videos and DVD-ROMs

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 Title 2

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 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 wide-screen 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. (X Page 71)

• 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.

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 61 for details on indexes.)

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.

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.

Einführung

Übersicht der Funktionen

 Video- und Audiosignale der Eingangsanschlüsse dieses DVD-Recorders können auf DVD-R/DVD-RW (nur im Video-

Modus) oder DVD+R/DVD+RW (Konformität mit Videomodus) aufgenommen werden. (X Seite 28)

Die folgenden Signale werden unterstützt: Video: Composite-Video-, separate Y/C- oder DV-Signale (auch Audio) Audio: Analog-Audio- oder DV-Signale (auch Video)

 Wiedergabebilder, die mit dem DVD-Recorder auf eine nicht-finalisierte DVD aufgenommen wurden, können erfasst und als

JPEG-Dateien auf eine identische DVD aufgenommen werden. (X Seite 43)

 Videobilder der Eingangsanschlüsse des DVD-Recorders können erfasst und als JPEG-Dateien auf einer CD-R/RW aufge-

nommen werden. (X Seite 44)

 Eine Vielzahl von Aufnahmeverfahren wird unterstützt. Das jeweils geeignete Verfahren hängt von der gewünschten späte-

ren Verwendung ab.

• Mit den Tasten REC, PAUSE und STOP an der Vorderseite des DVD-Recorders können Sie die Standard-Funktionen ausführen.

(X Seite 39)

• Die Aufnahme kann über den mit dem Fußschalteranschluss verbundenen externen Schalter gesteuert werden. (X Seite 40)

 Die Titel- und Kapitelmenüs können entweder automatisch oder manuell erstellt werden. (X Seite 47)

Es stehen fünf verschiedene Vorlagen für die Darstellung der Titel- und Kapitelmenüs zur Verfügung. Jede dieser Vorlagen unterscheidet sich durch die verschiedenen Eigenschaften der Vorschaubilder (d. h. Anzahl, Position und Größe) und der Hintergrundbilder, die in der Bildschirmanzeige der Titel- und Kapitelmenüs angezeigt werden. Wenn Sie bei der Aufnahme von Daten auf eine DVD eine Darstellungsweise gewählt haben, erstellt dieser DVD-Recorder automatisch die Titel- und Kapitelmenüs entsprechend der gewählten Darstellung. Mithilfe des Bildschirmmenüs DVD MENU können Sie die Eigenschaften für das Vorschaubild und den Hintergrund für jede Darstellungsweise ändern. In der Bildschirmanzeige THUMBNAIL EDIT und CHAPTER MENU EDIT können Sie zudem die Darstellungsweise und die Vorschaubilder für die Kapitelmenüs ändern sowie Kapitelnamen und Kommentare eingeben. Die Eingabe von Namen oder Kommentaren erfolgt über eine Tastatur, die an einen der USB-Anschlüsse des Recorders angeschlossen wird. Im Bildschirmmenü TITLE MENU EDIT können Sie die Darstellungsweise für das Titelmenü ändern sowie Titelnamen eingeben.

 Mit diesem DVD-Recorder können Sie Discs abspielen, die auf ihm erstellt wurden. (X Seite 57)

• Sobald eine Disc finalisiert wurde, kann sie auch auf anderen DVD-Playern wiedergegeben werden.

Einführung

Sicherheitshinweise für die Verwendung des DVD-Recorders

 Aufbewahren und Aufstellen des Recorders

Der DVD-Recorder sollte nicht an den folgenden Orten aufgestellt und betrieben werden:

• In einer Umgebung mit Temperaturen, die erheblich über

oder unter der zulässigen Betriebstemperatur liegen (d.h. 5°C bis 35°C).

• In einer Umgebung mit Luftfeuchtigkeit, die erheblich über

oder unter der zulässigen Luftfeuchtigkeit liegt (d.h. 20% bis 80% relative Luftfeuchtigkeit (RH)).

• In einer sehr staubigen oder sandigen Umgebung.

• An Orten, an denen der DVD-Recorder öligem Rauch oder

Dampf (z.B. in Küchen und deren Umgebung) ausgesetzt ist.

• An Orten ohne stabile Unterlage oder an Orten, an denen

Erschütterungen auftreten.

• In einer Umgebung, in der es leicht zu Kondensation kom-

men kann.

• In einer Umgebung mit starken magnetischen Felder, die

durch Transformatoren, Motoren u. ä. erzeugt werden.

• In einer Umgebung, in der Empfänger, Mobiltelefone und

andere schnurlose Geräte vorhanden sind.

• An Orten, an denen der Recorder Röntgenstrahlung oder

ätzenden Gasen ausgesetzt ist. (Diese Sicherheitshinweise müssen genau befolgt werden.)

 Handhabung

• Stellen Sie sicher, dass der DVD-Recorder während des

Betriebs auf einer glatten, waagerechten Oberfläche steht.

• Stellen Sie keine schweren Gegenstände wie z.B. einen

Monitor oder ein Fernsehgerät auf den DVD-Recorder.

• Stecken Sie keine fremden Gegenstände in das Disc-Fach.

• Passen Sie auf, dass Sie sich beim Einlegen der Disc nicht

die Finger einklemmen.

• Blockieren Sie nicht die Belüftungsöffnungen des Gerätes.

• Setzen Sie den DVD-Recorder keinen Stößen aus und las-

sen Sie ihn nicht fallen.

• Wenn Sie den DVD-Recorder transportieren müssen, stel-

len Sie vorher sicher, dass sich keine DVD mehr im Recorder befindet.

• Wenn Sie den DVD-Recorder für längere Zeit nicht benut-

zen wollen, stellen Sie den Netzschalter auf OFF, damit kein unnötiger Strom verbraucht wird.

 Reinigen der Außenteile des Geräts (im ausgeschaltenen

Zustand)

Reinigen Sie das Äußere des DVD-Recorders mit einem weichen Tuch. Verwenden Sie keine Farbverdünner oder organischen Lösungsmittel als Reinigungsmittel. Bei Nichtbeachtung dieser Sicherheitshinweise kann es zu Farbveränderungen oder dem Auflösen der Geräteoberfläche kommen. Verwenden Sie zum Entfernen von hartnäckigem Schmutz ein Tuch, das mit einer verdünnten, neutralen Flüssigkeit getränkt ist.

 Verwenden Sie immer das im Lieferumfang des DVD-

Recorders enthaltene Stromkabel.

Wenn Sie ein anderes Kabel oder ein beschädigtes Kabel verwenden, kann dies zum Ausbruch von Feuer oder zu elektrischen Stromschlägen führen.

 Das im Lieferumfang des DVD-Recorders enthaltene

Stromkabel darf nicht mit anderen Geräten verwendet werden.

Bevor Sie diesen DVD-Recorder an andere Geräte anschlie-



ßen, schalten Sie diese Geräte aus und befolgen Sie die Installationsanweisungen in den jeweiligen Benutzerhandbüchern.

 Die DVD-Antriebseinheit ist ein Verschleißteil. Da die

Lebensdauer der DVD-Antriebseinheit von der jeweiligen Benutzung durch den Kunden abhängt, empfehlen wir als Richtlinie, die Einheit alle 1000 Stunden auszutauschen. (X Seite 68 „TOTAL RECORDING TIME“)

Sicherheitshinweise zur Kondensation

 Kondensation

Wenn kaltes Wasser in ein Glas gefüllt wird und sich an der Glasaußenseite Wassertropfen bilden, wird dies als „Kondensation“ bezeichnet.

 Auftreten von Kondensation

Kondensation kann dazu führen, dass sich Wassertropfen an der inneren Linse des DVD-Recorders absetzen und somit der ordnungsgemäße Betrieb nicht mehr gewährleistet werden kann.

 Kondensation tritt leicht in den folgenden Situationen auf,

deshalb sollten Sie mit der entsprechenden Sorgfalt vorgehen.

• Wenn der DVD-Recorder von einem kalten Ort an einen

warmen Ort transportiert wird.

• Wenn der Raum, in dem sich der DVD-Recorder befindet,

sehr schnell erwärmt wird.

• Wenn der Luftschacht einer Klimaanlage direkt auf den

DVD-Recorder zeigt.

 In Situationen, in denen Kondensationsniederschlag auftre-

ten kann, sollten Sie die DVD, falls vorhanden, aus dem Gerät nehmen und das Gerät einschalten. Da sich dadurch das Innere des Recorders erwärmt, kann eine Kondensation nicht mehr so leicht entstehen.

 Kondensation ist eine der Hauptursachen, warum Discs

nicht mehr abgespielt werden können oder andere Probleme auftreten. In einer solchen Situation sollte das Gerät einige Stunden in eingeschaltetem Zustand ruhen. Sollte das Problem danach immer noch bestehen, wenden Sie sich bitte an den Händler, bei dem Sie diesen DVD-Recorder gekauft haben oder an einen autorisierten JVC-Fachhändler.

Nichtbenutzung über einen längeren Zeitraum

Die Geräteleistung kann sich verschlechtern, wenn das Gerät längere Zeit nicht benutzt wird, deshalb sollten Sie den DVDRecorder einschalten und in regelmäßigen Abständen in Betrieb nehmen.

Schadensersatz für beschädigte Inhalte

 Wenn es im seltenen Falle einer Fehlfunktion des DVD-

Recorders oder einer Disc zu Störungen bei der Aufnahme oder Wiedergabe kommt, übernimmt JVC keine Haftung für die nicht erfolgte oder beschädigte Aufnahme.

 Wir empfehlen Ihnen in regelmäßigen Abständen (d.h. ein-

mal pro Jahr), Sicherheitskopien von Discs mit wichtigen Daten zu erstellen. Obwohl digitale Signale sich nicht verschlechtern, kann die Aufbewahrungsumgebung Einfluss auf den Alterungsprozess einer Disc haben, wodurch die Disc nicht mehr abgespielt oder beschrieben werden kann.

 Sollte die Disc zerbrechen, können die Daten nicht wieder-

hergestellt werden.

 Die einwandfreie Wiedergabe von Discs, die mit diesem

DVD-Recorder aufgenommen wurden, kann nicht auf allen Geräten garantiert werden.

Einführung

Sicherheitshinweise zum Umgang mit Discs

Pflege von Discs zur Erhaltung der Wiedergabequalität

 Fingerabdrücke, Staub oder ähnliche Verschmutzungen auf der Oberfläche einer Disc können zu Fehlern bei der Wiedergabe von

aufgenommenen Video- oder Audiodaten führen. Deshalb ist es sinnvoll, jede Disc vor Gebrauch mit einem weichen Tuch abzuwischen.

 Reinigen von Discs

• Wischen Sie die Disc mit einem weichen Tuch von innen

nach außen ab.

• Bei hartnäckigem Schmutz auf der Oberfläche der Disc rei-

Modus) können verwendet werden.

DVD-RW : Discs der Versionen 1.1 und höher können verwen-

det werden. Die Version 1.1 des DVD-RW-Standards ermöglicht die Auswahl zwischen Video-Modus oder VR-Modus für die Aufnahme. Mit diesem DVDRecorder können Sie jedoch nur Daten im VideoModus aufnehmen. * Version 1.0 des DVD-RW-Standards unterstützt

nicht die Aufnahme im Video-Modus, deshalb kön-

nen diese Discs auch nicht verwendet werden. Die Aufnahmemerkmale unterscheiden sich bei DVD-R/DVD-RW (Videomodus) und DVD+R/DVD+RW (Konformität mit Videomodus) wie folgt:

 DVD-R/DVD+R

• Jede Disc kann nur einmal beschrieben werden. Deshalb

werden diese Discs für die Archivierung bzw. für eine längere Aufbewahrung empfohlen.

• Sobald eine Disc finalisiert wurde, kann sie auch auf ande-

ren DVD-Playern wiedergegeben werden.

 DVD-RW (Videomodus)/DVD+RW (Konformität mit Video-

modus)

• Nachdem Sie den Inhalt der Disc angesehen haben, kön-

nen Sie die Daten wieder löschen oder die Disc neu bespielen.

• Sobald eine Disc finalisiert wurde, kann sie auch auf ande-

ren DVD-Playern wiedergegeben werden.

• Es ist möglich, die Finalisierung rückgängig zu machen und

noch eine Aufnahme hinzuzufügen.

Finalisieren

Nachdem eine DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R oder DVD+RW finalisiert wurde, kann sie wie jede andere DVD auch in einem herkömmlichen DVD-Player abgespielt werden. (X Seite 42)

 Das Bespielen von noch leeren Sektionen einer Disc und

die Änderung der Titel oder Darstellungsweise kann vor dem Finalisieren einer Disc vorgenommen werden.

• Bei DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs sowie DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs ist es

nicht möglich, vorher aufgenommene Daten mit neuen Daten zu überschreiben, auch wenn die entsprechende Disc noch nicht finalisiert wurde. Auch einzelne Datensektionen können nicht gelöscht werden.

• Unabhängig davon, ob die Disc schon finalisiert wurde oder

nicht, ist es mit diesem DVD-Recorder nicht möglich, neue Daten auf eine DVD-R/DVD-RW oder DVD+R/DVD+RW zu schreiben, wenn bereits Daten mit einem anderen Gerät aufgenommen wurden.

 Sobald die Disc finalisiert wurde, kann sie als herkömmli-

che DVD verwendet werden und die darauf aufgenommenen Video- und Audiodaten können auf diesem Recorder oder einem anderen DVD-Player abgespielt werden.

• Nach dem Finalisieren können Sie die Titel der Disc aus dem

Hauptmenü auswählen.

• Nach dem Finalisieren können Sie keine weiteren Daten auf-

nehmen.

• Bei Verwendung einer DVD-RW oder DVD+RW ist es mög-

lich, die Finalisierung rückgängig zu machen und noch eine Aufnahme hinzuzufügen.

DVD-Datenkonfiguration

Im Allgemeinen sind die aufgenommenen Daten auf einer DVD in große Einheiten eingeteilt, die man als „Titel“ bezeichnet. Jeder Titel erhält eine eindeutige Nummer, die man als „Titelnummer“ bezeichnet, so dass jeder Titel sofort über diese Titelnummer angesteuert werden kann. Des Weiteren kann jeder Titel in noch kleinere Einheiten unterteilt werden, die man „Kapitel“ nennt. Genau wie bei den Titeln erhält jedes Kapitel eine eindeutige Nummer, die man als „Kapitelnummer“ bezeichnet, so dass jedes Kapitel sofort über diese Kapitelnummer angesteuert werden kann. Jede Aufnahme auf der Disc wird als Einzeltitel gespeichert. Mit jedem Drücken der Taste STOP verlassen Sie den Aufnahmemodus und erstellen danach wieder eine neue Aufnahme. (Eine andere Bezeichnung hierfür ist „den Titel abschließen“.) Sie habe auch die Möglichkeit, Kapitelmarkierungen zur Unterteilung von Titeln an von Ihnen gewählte Positionen zu setzen, indem Sie während der Aufnahme die Taste REC drücken. Es ist möglich, durch vorübergehendes Anhalten der Aufnahme automatisch eine Kapitelmarkierung einzufügen, indem Sie die Taste PAUSE drücken. (Die Einstellung erfolgt über das Menü.) Außerdem können Sie mit diesem DVD-Recorder automatisch Kapitelmarkierungen in regelmäßigen Abständen einfügen. (Sie müssen dafür Einstellungen im Menü CHAPTER CREATION vornehmen.)

Disc

Regionalcodes

Dem DVD-Inhalt wird eine von sechs Nummern, der „Regionalcode“, zugewiesen, um die Wiedergabe auf bestimmte geografische Regionen zu beschränken. Wenn die Region der DVD nicht mit dem Regionalcode des DVD-Players übereinstimmt, kann die Disc nicht abgespielt werden.

• Dieser DVD-Recorder weist allen Discs, die mit ihm aufge-

nommen wurden, den Regionalcode „ALL“ zu.

• Das Abspielen von Discs mit Regionalcode ist nicht möglich.

Bildschirmgrößen

Mit diesem DVD-Recorder können Sie Videos für Breitbildfernseher (d.h. mit einem 16:9-Bildseitenverhältnis) aufnehmen. Zusätzlich können Signale für ein normales Fernsehbild mit einem 4:3-Bildseitenverhältnis, für ein gestauchtes Bild (d.h. bei dem die linke und die rechte Seite komprimiert sind) und für Letterbox-Formate (d.h. mit schwarzen Balken am unteren und oberen Bildrand) aufgenommen werden.

• Das Verfahren für die Erstellung der Vorschaubilder für die

Titel- und Kapitelmenüs bei Einspeisung eines Breitbildsignals können Sie im Bildschirmmenü DVD MENU im Menüpunkt THUMBNAIL FORM auswählen. (X Seite 71)

Titel 1 Titel 2

Kapitel 1 Kapitel 2 Kapitel 3 Kapitel 1 Kapitel 2

• Bevor Sie einen Titel abschließen, können Sie noch die Dar-

stellungsweise für das Kapitelmenü und die Vorschaubilder ändern sowie Namen für die Vorschaubilder eingeben.

• Bevor Sie die Disc finalisieren, können Sie noch die Darstel-

lungsweise für die Titelmenüs ändern sowie Titelnamen eingeben.
