About HDMI

HDMI (High Denition Multimedia Interface)
supports both video and audio on a single digital
connection for use with DVD Players, Set-Top Boxes,
and other AV devices.

HDMI was developed to provide the technologies
of HDCP (High Denition Contents Protection).
HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted
and received.

HDMI has the capability to support standard,
enhanced, or high-denition video plus standard
to multi-channel surround-sound audio, HDMI
features include uncompressed digital video,
a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabytes per second,
one connector (instead of several cables and
connectors), and communication between the AV
source and AV devices such as DTVs.

Note

,

yIf the audio format of the digital output

does not match the capabilities of your
receiver, the receiver will produce a strong,
distorted sound or no sound at all.

ySix Channel Digital Surround Sound via

connect this Recorder to a DTS compatible
receiver via one of this Recorder’s digital
audio outputs.

yWhile viewing a digital channel, the 2

Notes on MP3/WMA Recordings

About MP3

yAn MP3 le is audio data compressed by using

the MPEG1 audio layer-3 le-coding scheme.We
call les that have the “.mp3” le extension “MP3
les”.

yThe recorder can not read an MP3 le that has a

le extension other than “.mp3”.

About WMA(Window Media Audio)

y An WMA le is a Microsoft audio compression

technology.

y WMA(Windows Media Audio) oers double the

audio.compression of the MP3 format.

MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this recorder
is limited as follows:

1. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660” and
“JOLIET”.

2. If you record MP3/WMA les using the software
which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example
“Direct-CD” etc., it is impossible to playback
MP3/WMA les.We recommend that you use
“Easy-CD Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 or
JOLIET le system.

3. Total number of les and folders on the disc
should be less than 1999.

This Recorder requires discs/recordings to meet
certain technical standards in order to achieve
optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are
automatically set to these standards. There are
many dierent types of recordable disc formats
(including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA les) that
require certain pre-existing conditions (see above)
to insure compatible playback.

Customers should also note that permission is
required in order to download MP3/WMA les and
music from the Internet. Our company has no right
to grant such permission. Permission should always
be sought from the copyright owner.

Viewing a JPEG File

The recorder can play discs with JPEG les.

Notes on JPEG Recordings

yDepending on the size and number of the JPEG

les, it may take several minutes to read the
contents of the media. If you don’t see an on­screen display after several minutes, some of the
les are too big — reduce the resolution of the
JPEG les to less than 4 mega pixels and burn
another disc.

yThe total number of les and folders are free but

the total number of les on the folder should be
less than 1999.

ySome discs may be incompatible due to dierent

recording formats or the condition of the discs.

y When you are using software such as “Easy CD

Creator” to burn JPEG les on a CD-R, ensure that
all selected les have the “.jpg” extension before
copying them into the CD layout.

yIf the les have “.jpe” extensions, please rename

them as “.jpg” les.

yFile names without the “.jpg” extension cannot be

read by this recorder, even though the les are
shown as JPEG image les in Windows Explorer®.

yProgressive and lossless compression JPEG

image les are not supported.

Notes for DVD recording

yThis Recorder cannot record CD-R or CD-RW

discs.

yFingerprints and small scratches on a disc can

aect playback and/or recording performance.
Please take proper care of your discs.

yThe company does not hold any responsibility

to compensate the contents which should have
been recorded, and any losses or damages (e.g.
losses of business prot, or business intermission)
that may arise from malfunction of this recorder
(not recording/editing as intended).

yThe recording times shown are not exact

because the recorder uses variable bit-rate
video compression. This means that the exact
recording time will depend on the material
being recorded.

yWhen recording a TV broadcast, if the reception

is poor or the picture contains interference, the
recording times may be shorter.

yThe unit cannot record the DTV caption on the

recordable DVD disc.

yIf you record still pictures or audio only, the

recording time may be longer.

yThe displayed times for recording and time

remaining may not always add up to exactly the
length of the disc.

yThe recording time available may decrease if you

heavily edit a disc.

yIf using a DVD-RW disc, make sure you change

the recording format (Video mode or VR mode)
before you record anything on the disc. See page
25 (Initialize) for how to do this.

yWhen using a DVD-R or DVD+R disc, you can

keep recording until the disc is full, or until you
nalize the disc. Before you start a recording
session, check the amount of recording time left
on the disc.

yWhen using a DVD-RW disc in Video mode,

recording time available will only increase if you
erase the last title recorded on the disc.

yThe Delete Title option in the Title List (Original)

menu only hides the title, it does not actually
erase the title from the disc and increase the
recording time available (except for the last
recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in Video mode).

yOverwrite recording is available using DVD+RW

discs.

yWhen using a DVD+R/RW, the recorder will

execute the Menu-making operation to update
the new title and editing when removing the
disc from the recorder.

yThe recordable time is limited to 12 hours for a

title.

yIf the unit detects the copy-protected signal

while recording, the recording will be paused
temporarily until the signal switchs to recordable
signal.

Recording time and picture quality

There are ve preset recording quality modes:

[XP] – Highest quality setting, gives about 1
hour of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).

[SP] – Default quality, sucient for most
applications, gives about 2 hours of recording
time on a DVD (4.7GB).

[LP] – Slightly lower video quality, gives about
4 hour of recording time on a DVD disc (4.7GB).

[EP] – Low video quality, gives about 6 hours of
recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).

[MLP] – The longest recording time with the
lowest video quality, gives you about 14 hours
of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).

You may see a fragmented picture during
playing back the contents recorded in EP or

VR Mode: Original and Playlist
Editing

Titles, Chapters and Parts

Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or
more chapters. When you add a disc’s title into the
Playlist, all the chapters within that title also added.
In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave
exactly as chapters on original content. From the
Original and Playlist menu you can add or delete
parts. Adding a chapter or title to the Playlist creates
a new title made up of a section (ie., chapter) of an
Original title. Deleting a part removes part of a title
from the Original or Playlist menu.

Caution

>

yWhen editing using the Delete, Add and

Move functions, the start and end frames
may not be exactly as set in the start and
end point display.

yDuring Playlist playback, you may notice a

momentary pause between edits. This is not
a malfunction.

Is editing a DVD like editing a video
tape?

No. When you edit a video tape you need one video
deck to play the original tape and another to record
the edits. With DVD, you edit by making a ‘Playlist’ of
what to play and when to play it. On playback, the
Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.
