About Recordable discs

How are recordable discs different?

The essential difference among DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW is that DVD-R and DVD+R are a record-once medium, while DVD-RW and DVD+RW are a re-recordable/erasable medium. You can re-record/ erase a DVD-RW and DVD+RW disc approximately 1,000 times.

Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD player?

Generally, DVD-R, DVD+R discs and DVD-RW discs recorded in Video mode are playable in a regular DVD player, but they must be ‘finalized’ first. This process fixes the contents of the disc to make them readable to other DVD players as DVD-Video discs. DVD-RW discs recorded in VR (Video Recording) mode are playable in some players. Unfinalized DVD+RW discs are playable in a regular DVD player.

This indicates a product feature that is capable of playing DVD-RW discs recorded with Video Recording (VR) format.

What are “Recording modes”?

There are various recording modes available using this recorder. When recording to a DVD-R, DVD+R or DVD+RW disc, recordings are always in Video mode. DVD-RW discs can be formatted for VR mode recording or Video mode recording.

VR mode recording

•4 different picture quality/recording time settings available (SP, LP, EP, XP)

• Not playable on regular DVD players

• Recordings can be extensively edited

Video mode recording

•4 different picture quality/recording time settings available (SP, LP, EP, XP)

• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)

• Limited editing features

DVD+RW mode recording

•4 different picture quality/recording time settings available (SP, LP, EP, XP)

• Playable on regular DVD players

• The edited contents is playable on regular DVD players only after finalizing

• Recordings can be edited the title/chapter

DVD+R mode recording

•4 different picture quality/recording time settings available (SP, LP, EP, XP)

• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalization)

• Any edited contents are not be compatible on regular DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter mark, etc.)

• Limited title/chapter editing features

ote

DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for recording on DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs that was approved by the DVD Forum in 2000. You may therefore experience problems playing recordable DVD discs in some players. Symptoms include video artifacts, audio and/or video dropouts and playback suddenly stopping.

Our company cannot take responsibility for problems playing discs recorded on this

VCR/DVD Recorder in

other players.

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

VCR/DVD

Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.

About word ‘Original’ and ‘Playlist’

Throughout this manual, you will often see the words Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and the edited version.

• Original: content refers to what’s actually recorded on the disc.

• Playlist: content refers to the edited version of the disc — how the Original content is to be played.

About DVD recording

otes

• This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or CD-RW discs.

• Our company takes no responsibility for recording failure due to power cuts, defective discs, or damage to the recorder.

• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect playback and/or recording performance. Please take proper care of your discs.

Disc types and recording formats, modes, and settings

This recorder can play five different kinds of DVD disc: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format for DVD-R discs is always “Video format”—the same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD-R in a regular DVD player. The recording mode is closely related to the disc format. If the disc format is Video Recording format, then the recording mode is VR mode; if the disc format is Video mode, then the recording mode is Video mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not recordable, and so does not have a recording mode). Within the recording modes (which are fixed for the whole disc) are the record settings. These can be changed as required for each recording and determine the picture quality and how much space the recording will take up on the disc.

Notes for recording

• The recording times shown are not exact because the

VCR/DVD Recorder uses variable bit-rate video com-

pression. This means that the exact recording time will depend on the material being recorded.

• When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception is poor or the picture contains interference, the recording times may be shorter.

•If you record still pictures or audio only, the recording time may be longer.

• The displayed times for recording and time remaining may not always add up to exactly the length of the disc.

• The recording time available may decrease if you heavily edit a disc.

• If 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 26 (Disc Initialize) for how to do this.

• When using a DVD-R disc, you can keep recording until the disc is full, or until you finalize the disc. Before you start a recording session, check the amount of recording time left on the disc.

• When using a DVD-RW disc in Video mode, recording time available will only increase if you erase the last title recorded on the disc.

• The Erase 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).

• The overwrite recording is available with DVD+RW disc.

Overview (Continued)

Recording TV audio channels

This recorder can record one or two channel audio. For TV broadcasts, this usually means mono or stereo, but some programs are broadcast with a main and a SAP (Secondary Audio Program) audio channel. If you’re recording in Video mode (or in VR mode), you can record either the main audio or the SAP audio.

Restrictions on video recording

•You cannot record copy-protected video using this recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material is encountered during a recording, recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message will be displayed on-screen.

•Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see below).

What is ‘CPRM’?

CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble system) only allowing the recording of ‘copy once’ broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media. This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

• Audio and video recordings you make using this recorder are for your personal use only. You may not sell, lend or rent them to other people.

• This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain U.S.patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners.

Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.

When setting up the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The VCR/DVD Recorder is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn, the picture quality will be poor. Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.) For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Moisture Condensation

Never operate the VCR/DVD Recorder immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location. Leave it for two or three hours without operating it. If you use the VCR/DVD Recorder in such a situation, it may damage discs/tapes and internal parts.

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center outward.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.

AUDIO

Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options. Set the

VCR/DVD Recorder’s

Audio Output according to

the type of audio system you use.

Dolby Digital

PCM: Select when connected to a 2-channel digital stereo

amplifier. The VCR/DVD Recorder’s digital audio outputs sounds in the PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video disc recorded on the Dolby Digital recording system. Bitstream: Select

when connected to a

Dolby Digital decoder (or an amplifier or other equipment with a Dolby Digital decoder).

DTS

OFF: The DTS signal will not be output from the DIGI-

TAL AUDIO OUT jack. Bitstream: Select when connected to a DTS decoder (

or an amplifier or other equipment with a DTS decoder

MPEG

PCM: Select when connected to a 2-channel digital

stereo amplifier. The VCR/DVD Recorder’s digital audio outputs sounds in the PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video disc recorded on the MPEG1, or MPEG2 recording system. Bitstream: Select

when connected to a

n MPEG decoder (or an amplifier or other equipment with an MPEG decoder).

Sampling Freq. (Frequency)

If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling 96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice is made, this VCR/DVD Recorder will automatically convert any 96 kHz signals to 48 kHz so your system can decode them. If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96 kHz signals, select 96 kHz. When this choice is made, this unit will pass each type of signal through without any further processing.

DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However, you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to ON for this effect.

Vocal

Set Vocal to ON only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will mix into normal stereo sound.

Notes on MP3/WMA Recordings

About MP3

• An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.

• The VCR/DVD Recorder can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.

About WMA (Window Media Audio) Files

•AWMA file is made using Microsoft audio compression technology.

• WMA (Windows Media Audio) offers double the audio compression of the MP3 format.

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

• CD-R/RW physical format should be “ISO 9660” and “JOLIET”.

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

•The total number of files and folders on the disc are free but the total number of files and folders on the folder should be less than 999.

This VCR/DVD 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 different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) that require certain preexisting conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.

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

Notes on JPEG Recordings



Depending on the size and number of JPEG files, it may take several minutes for the recorder to read the disc’s content. If you don’t see an on-screen display after several minutes, some of the files are too big — reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 4 mega pixels and burn another disc.



The total number of files and folders are free but the total number of files on the folder should be less than

999.



Some discs may be incompatible due to different recording formats or the condition of the discs.

 When you are using software such as “Easy CD

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

 If the files have “.jpe” extensions, please rename

them as “.jpg” or “.jpeg” files.

 File names without the “.jpg” or “.jpeg” extension

cannot be read by this recorder, even though the files are shown as JPEG image files in Windows Explorer

Recording from an External Input (Continued)

What is DV?

Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this recorder using a single DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data and control signals. The i.LINK interface is also known as IEEE 1394-1995. “i.LINK” and the “i.LINK” logo are trademarks.

• This recorder is only compatible with DV-format (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible.

• You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at a time to this recorder.

• You cannot control this recorder from external equipment connected via the DV IN jack (including two DVD Recorders).

• It may not always be possible to control the connected camcorder via the DV IN jack.

• Digital camcorders can usually record audio as stereo 16-bit/48kHz, or twin stereo tracks of 12-bit/32kHz. The VCR/DVD Recorder can only record one stereo audio track. Set DV Record Audio to Audio 1 or Audio 2 as necessary (see page 26).

• Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or 48kHz (not 44.1kHz).

• Picture disturbance on the recording may occur if the source component pauses playback or plays an unrecorded section of tape, or if the power fails in the source component, or the DV cable becomes disconnected.

• If DV Record Audio is set to Audio 2, but no Audio 2 signal is present, DV Record Audio will be reset to Audio 1 automatically.

Title and Chapter Editing

Edits you make to the Original content changes the actual content of the disc. For example, if you delete a title or chapter from the Original content (Title or Chapter), that title or chapter is deleted from the disc, freeing up extra recording time. When you edit the Playlist, on the other hand, you are not changing the content of the disc. For example, when you delete a title from the Playlist, you are just telling the recorder not to play that title; nothing is actually deleted from the disc.

Titles, Chapters and Parts

Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or more chapters. When you insert a title into the Playlist, all the chapters within that title also appear. In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exactly as chapters on a DVD-Video disc do. Parts are sections of Original or Playlist titles. 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

• When 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.

•During Playlist playback, you may notice a momentary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.

Adding Chapter Markers

You can put a chapter marker anywhere in a title during recording or playback. Once the chapter is marked, you can use the Chapter Search feature, as well as Erase, combine and move chapters in the Chapter List menu.

ote

Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals automatically. You can change this interval from the Initial Setup menu (see Auto Chapter on page 26).

Play the title (Original or Playlist).

At the point you want to start a new chapter, press CHP ADD.

A chapter marker icon appears on the TV screen.

•You can also put chapter markers during recording.

Changing Title Thumbnails

Each title displayed in the Title List menu is represented by a thumbnail picture taken from the start of that title or chapter. If you prefer, select a different still picture from within a title.

Play the title (Original or Playlist).

Press THUMBNAIL to make the currently displayed picture the one that appears in the Original or Playlist menu.

The still picture that you choose appears in both the Original or Playlist menu.

You can also change the thumbnail picture of the title on the Chapter List-Original or Chapter List-Playlist menu. Select a chapter on the Chapter List-Original or Chapter List-Playlist menu then press THUMBNAIL. The thumbnail picture of the title that includes the chapter is changed.
