Useful features

You can enjoy both VHS and DVD with this unit. This DVD Video recorder records high quality images to rapid

random access capable DVD-RAM media. This has resulted in many new features that outperform older tape formats. The following information summarizes a few of these features.

Instant play (l 21, 33)

There is no need to rewind or search forward. Direct Navigator guides you to the beginning of the recorded video immediately.

Instant recording (l 26)

You no longer need to search for empty disc space. By pressing the recording button, the unit finds available recording space and begins recording right away. There is no need to worry about overwriting already recorded content.

Chasing playback (l 25)

There is no need to wait until recording is complete. Without stopping recording, you can play the video currently being recorded from its beginning.

Simultaneous Recording and Play (l 25)

While recording, you can play another video program that was recorded previously.

Time Slip (l 23, 25)

During play and also while recording, you can jump to the scene you wish to view by specifying the skip time.

One touch dubbing (l 58, 60)

Memorable contents on VHS can be easily dubbed onto DVD. “One touch 2-way Transfer/Dubbing” enables you to copy from VHS to DVD and vice versa.

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Not only stereo (2 channel) audio, these signals can also be 5.1-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc by this method.

DTS Digital Surround (l 44)

This surround system is used in many movie theatres around the world. The separation between channels is good and the compression ratio is low, so realistic sound effects are possible. DTS sound tracks are produced with the assumption that all channels will be used.

≥For DVD/VHS COMMON output terminals, both DVD and VHS

outputs can be switched.

≥The DVD output terminals can only output the DVD signal.

≥Even if “Automatic” is selected in “DVD/VHS Output” on

≥When the Video is switched from DVD to VHS or vice versa,

the audio volume may suddenly increase or decrease. This is because when the audio output of this unit is connected to the TV or other, the audio output of the DVD is generally lower. When you increase the volume level of the TV or the amplifier to play back DVD audio, reduce it when playback is finished.

Cautions for using timer recording on DVD and VHS

Timer recording for TV programs cannot be executed on both DVD and VHS at the same time. Make sure the timer recording start times do not overlap on both DVD (l left) and VHS (l 53) timer-programming screens.

When the timer recording settings overlap: ≥When the start time of both timer recordings is the same, the timer

recording of DVD has priority.

≥When tuner channels are specified in timer recordings on both VHS

and DVD, only one timer recording can be started.

≥When the interval between the first timer recording and the second

timer recording on DVD is 1 minute or less as shown below, the second timer recording on DVD has priority over the timer recording on VHS even if its start time is later than the timer recording on VHS.

Glossary

Bitstream

This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media)

CPRM is technology used to protect broadcasts that are allowed to be recorded only once. Such broadcasts can be recorded only with CPRM compatible recorders and discs.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs. Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between the loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at low volumes but still hear dialog clearly.

Film and video

DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. This unit can determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable method of progressive output. ≥Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film

generally being 24 frames per second.

≥Video is 60 fields per second (two fields making up one frame).

Finalize

A process that makes play of a recorded CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R etc. possible on equipment that can play such media. You can finalize DVD-R on this unit.

Formatting

Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM recordable on recording equipment. You can format DVD-RAM on this unit. Formatting irrevocably erases all recordings on the disc.

Frame and field

Frame refers to the single images that constitute the video you see on your TV. Each frame consists of two fields.

Frame Field Field

≥A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but

picture quality is generally better.

≥A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but

there is no blurring.

Linear PCM (LPCM)

These are uncompressed digital signals. CDs are recorded with 44.1 kHz/16 bit PCM, while DVDs use PCM between 48 kHz/16 bit and 96 kHz/24 bit, allowing playback with greater quality sound. The linear PCM signals output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT OPTICAL terminal are stereo (2 channel). LPCM sound is available when recording in XP mode.

VHSDVD

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of audio quality. You can play MP3s you have recorded onto CD-R and CD-RW.

Pan & Scan/Letterbox

In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be viewed on a widescreen TV (16:9 aspect ratio), so images often don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) TVs. Two styles of picture, “Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this problem.

Pan & Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture fills the screen.

Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the

picture so the picture itself appears in an aspect ratio of 16:9.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus. (This unit is compatible with version 2.0 and 1.1.)

Progressive/Interlace

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480P. Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video recorded on media such as DVD-Video. Your TV must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.

Protection

You can prevent accidental erasure by setting writing protection or erasure protection.

Sampling frequency

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.

VBR (Variable Bitrate)

This is a method of video recording that adjusts the bit rate according to video signal.

Title/Chapter (DVD-Video)

DVD-Video are divided into large sections (titles) and smaller sections (chapters). The numbers allocated to these sections are called title numbers and chapter numbers.

Example

(3)

(2)

(4)(5)

(1) Title 1 (2) Title 2 (3) Chapter 1 (4) Chapter 2 (5) Chapter 3
