Useful features

This DVD 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.

Quick Start

A few seconds after turning on the unit, you can start recording to DVD-RAM.

Instant recording

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.

Instant play

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

Chasing playback

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 Playback

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

Time Slip

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

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.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.

Down-mixing

This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on some discs into two channels for stereo output. It is useful when you want to listen to the 5.1-channel audio recorded on DVDs through your television’s speakers. Some discs prohibit down-mixing and this unit can then only output the front two channels.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

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-Video 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, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format) or +R on this unit. After finalizing, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer record or edit. You can record after formatting although it becomes play-only after finalizing, when you use DVD-RW.

Formatting

Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM recordable on recording equipment. You can format DVD-RAM or DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video format) on this unit. Formatting irrevocably erases all contents.

Frames and fields

Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.

• 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.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its original size. The feature of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree of compression.

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 MP3 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 television (16:9 aspect ratio), so images often don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) televisions. Two styles of picture, “Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this problem.

Pan & Scan: The sides are cut off so the

Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top

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 television 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.

Thumbnail

This refers to a miniature representation of a picture used to display multiple pictures in the form of a list.

TIFF (Tag Image File Format)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. A common format for storing high quality images on digital cameras and other devices.

Troubleshooting guide

Before requesting service, make the following checks. If you are in doubt about some of the check points, or if the remedies indicated in the chart do not solve the problem, refer to the “Customer Services Directory” on page 42 if you reside in the U.S.A., or refer to the “Product information” on page 41 if you reside in Canada.

The following do not indicate a problem with this unit:

Regular disc rotating sounds. The sound of the disc rotating may

•

become louder especially when finalizing a DVD-R, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format) or +R. Poor reception due to atmospheric conditions.

•

Image disturbance during search.

•

Power Page

No power. The unit switches to the

standby mode.

Displays

The display is dim. “12: 00A” is flashing on the

unit's display. Compared to the actual

recorded time, the remaining time displayed is less.

The time recorded on the disc and the available time shown do not add up. The play time shown for MP3 does not agree with the actual time.

Insert the AC power supply cord securely into a known active AC outlet. 7, 8

•

This is a power saving feature. Change “Off Timer” in the SETUP menu, if you would prefer.

•

One of the unit’s safety devices is activated. Press [POWER ^/I] on the main unit to turn the unit

•

on.

Change “Front Display” in the SETUP menu. 33

•

Set the clock. 34

•

The displayed recording/play time is converted from the number of frames at 29.97 frames

•

(equal to 0.999 seconds) to one second. There will be slight a difference between the time displayed and the actual elapsed time (e.g., actual one-hour elapsed time may display as approximately 59 minutes 56 seconds). This does not affect the recording.

Times shown may disagree with actual times.

•

Even if you erase recorded content from the DVD-R or the +R, there is no increase in disc

•

space. Available recording space on a DVD-RW (DVD-Video format) increases only when the last

•

recorded title is erased. It does not increase if other titles are erased. More disc space than the actual recording time is used after recording or editing the DVD-R or

•

the +R 200 times or more. While searching, the elapsed time may not display correctly.

•

Interruptions in reception due to periodic satellite broadcasting

•

breaks. Operations do not work due to a poor-quality disc. (Try again using

•

a Panasonic disc.) The unit freezes due to one of its safety devices being activated.

•

(Press and hold [POWER 8] on the main unit for 10 seconds.)

TV screen and video

Television reception worsens after connecting the unit.

Status messages do not appear.

The blue background does not appear.

The 4: 3 aspect ratio picture expands left and right. Screen size is wrong.

There is a lot of after-image when playing video.

When playing DVD-Video using progressive output, one part of the picture momentarily appears to be doubled up.

There is no apparent change in picture quality when adjusted with the Video menu in the on-screen menus.

The images from this unit do not appear on the television.

Picture is distorted.

This can occur because the signals are being divided between the unit and other equipment. It

•

can be solved by using a signal booster, available from audio-visual suppliers. Select “Automatic” in “Status Messages” in the SETUP menu. 33

•

Select “On” in “Blue Background” in the SETUP menu. 33

•

Use the television to change the aspect. If your television does not have that function, set

•

“Progressive” in the Video menu to “Off”. Check the settings for “TV Type”, “4:3 TV Settings for DVD-Video” or “4:3 TV Settings for DVD-

•

RAM” in the SETUP menu. Set “MPEG-DNR” in the Video menu to “Off”. 25

•

Set “Progressive” in the Video menu to “Off”. This problem is caused by the editing method or

•

material used on DVD-Video, but should be corrected if you use interlace output.

The effect is less perceivable with some types of video. —

•

Make sure that the television is connected to the VIDEO OUT terminal, S VIDEO OUT terminal

•

or COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals on this unit. Make sure that the television’s input setting (e.g., VIDEO 1) is correct.

•

The television isn’t compatible with progressive signals. Press and hold [g] and [q (PLAY/x1.3)]

•

on the main unit at the same time for about 5 seconds. The setting will change to interlace.
