● Suitable when keeping a recorded disc for a long time.

File Structure of Discs

DVD VIDEO

Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called “titles”. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called “chapters”. Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that can also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs are not divided into titles and chapters.

When you record a programme on a DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode) disc

A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural or bilingual to stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during playback. (

When you record a programme on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode) disc

A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during either recording or playback. Once the disc has been finalised, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter marks are assigned automatically approximately every 5 minutes.

● In Video mode, even before finalising, it is impossible to perform editing operations other than changing the disc name and/or title names and deleting programmes and/or titles.

● After finalising, it is impossible to perform editing operations.

Audio CD/Video CD/SVCD

Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video CD/SVCD discs. However, some discs are not divided into tracks.

Care and Handling of Discs

How to handle discs

When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the unit to malfunction.

Label side

Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesives on its surface.

Recording side

Make sure that discs are not scratched and dirty on the recording side before use. Scratches and dirt on the recording side of a disc may hinder proper playback and recording. Also be careful that a DVD-RAM disc may get scratched or dirt when removed from cartridge then put back in after use.

Storage

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!

PULL - OPEN

Y/ON DB N

TA S

Disc tray

Place the disc on the disc tray with the label side facing up. Since disc size changes depending on the disc to be played back, be sure to correctly align the disc with the grooves for its size. If the disc is not in its groove, it may be scratched or otherwise damaged. To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.

DVD-RAM discs contained in cartridges

Double-sided discs:

Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the side you wish to play back or record facing down. If you insert the disc with “Side A” facing down, programmes are recorded on the side A.

Single-sided discs:

Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the label side facing up.

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the centre outwards. If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.

CAUTION

Sometimes during playback, noise may appear or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.) These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.

RECORDING (cont.)

Recording Speed

MPEG2 format is used as recording format. As a guide for picture quality, the “bps” unit is used to represent how much data can be recorded per second. The larger this value is, the better the picture quality becomes but more capacity is required for the recording. Select XP or SP for programmes where quick movement occurs, such as sports programmes, and LP or EP for talk shows, etc. with relatively less movement. The recording speeds for a 4.7 GB disc are set as follows:

Instant Timer Recording (ITR)

This easy method lets you record for from 30 minutes to 6 hours (selectable in 30-min. increments), and shuts the unit off after recording is finished.

1 Start recording.

Press 7 on the unit.

2 Engage the ITR mode.

Press 7 again. On the front display panel, “0:30” appears.

3 Set the recording duration.

If you want to record for more than 30 minutes, press 7 to extend the time. Each press extends recording time by 30 minutes.

NOTE:

You can only perform ITR using the 7 button on the unit’s front panel.

EN 49

Record One Programme While Watching Another

Once recording is in progress, all you need to do is to set the channel controls on the TV for the station you wish to view.

● The programme selected with the TV’s channel controls appears on the TV screen while the one selected with the unit’s CH buttons is recorded on the disc.

Elapsed Recording Time and Disc Remaining Time Indication

During recording, press DISPLAY repeatedly until the desired indication appears on the front display panel.

● Each time you press DISPLAY, the time indication changes as follows:

Receiving Stereo and Bilingual Programmes

Your unit is equipped with a Sound-Multiplex decoder (A2) and a Digital stereo sound decoder (NICAM) making reception of stereo and bilingual broadcasts possible. When the channel is changed, the type of broadcast being received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.

Type of Broadcast Being Received

NOTES:

● “SUPERIMPOSE” must be set to “AUTO”. Otherwise the on-screen displays will not appear. (

● If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the broadcast might be received in monaural with better quality.

墌 pg. 90)

Selection of the audio channel to be recorded on a disc

When a programme is recorded on a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc in VR mode, all audio channels of the receiving programme are recorded on the disc. When you record a programme on a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc in video mode, select the desired audio channel (from among “NICAM 1/MAIN”, “NICAM 2/SUB”, “MONO”) to be recorded on the disc. (

TIMER RECORDING (cont.)

To make the disc for On-Disc Timer Programming

Programming

On-Disc Timer Programming is a function used with discs that are especially intended for a specific programme. The disc is then programmed for a programme you always watch every day or every week. Since older programs are automatically overwritten, a single DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode) disc can be used without worrying about how much recording capacity remains. (

墌 pg. 58, “How discs are overwritten”)

You can programme each disc to timer-record as many as 8 programmes.

Before performing On-Disc Timer Programming:

● Turn on the unit.

● Turn on the TV and select the AV mode.

● Slide the TV/DVD switch to DVD.

●

Make sure that the unit’s built-in clock is set properly.

TTENTION:

If data is recorded on a disc for On-Disc Timer Programming using a unit from another manufacturer, On-Disc Timer Programming may no longer function properly.

● Automatic Satellite Programme Recording and timer-recording cannot be done at the same time.

This function allows you to automatically record a satellite programme which is timer-programmed on your external satellite receiver. Connect a satellite receiver to the unit’s L-2 IN connector and programme the timer on the satellite receiver. When the signals come into the unit from the satellite receiver, the unit automatically turns on and starts recording.
