If your antenna cable is flat connect it to a 300-ohm to 75-ohm antenna adaptor (not supplied) and slip the adaptor over the ANT.IN jack. Don’t attempt to screw it into to the Recorder.

Cable TV:

If your cable connection has no converter or descrambler, unscrew the cable from your TV and attach it to the ANT.IN jack on the Recorder. If a converter is required connect a coaxial cable from the wall jack to the IN connector on the converter, and a coaxial cable from the OUT connector on the converter to the ANT.IN on your Recorder. This cable hookup permits both TV and Recorder operation.

To view or record a CATV channel

1. Tune the TV to the Recorder output channel (CH 3 or 4).

2. Set the Recorder channel selector to the cable output channel. (Example: CH3)

About JPEG image files

JPEG disc compatibility with this recorder is limited as follows:

• Depending upon the size and number of JPEG

files, it could take a long time for the recorder to read the files. If you don’t see an on-screen display after several minutes, some of the files may be too large — reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 4M pixels.

• The total number of files and folders on the disc

should be less than 999.

• Some discs may be incompatible due to a differ-

ent recording format or the condition of disc.

• Ensure that all the selected files have the “.jpg”

extensions when copying into the CD layout.

• If the files have “.jpe” or “.jpeg” extensions, please

rename them as “.jpg” file.

• File names without “.jpg” extension will not be

able to be read by this recorder. Even though the files are shown as JPEG image files in Windows Explorer.

Recording

About DVD recording

Notes:

• This Recorder cannot record CD-R or CD-RW discs.

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

• The 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 profit, or business intermission) that may arise from malfunction of this recorder (not recording/editing as intended).

Disc types and recording formats, modes, and settings

This recorder can play DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format for DVD+R, DVD+RW discs is always “Video format”—the same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD+R, or DVD+RW in a regular DVD player. You can change Recording format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase the contents of the disc.) The recording mode is closely related to the disc format. The disc format is Video format, then the recording mode is Video mode. 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 recorder uses variable bit-rate video compression. 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.

• 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.

• The 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 .

• Overwrite recording is available using DVD+RW discs.

•

When 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.

Titles, Chapters and Parts

Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or more chapters. When you insert a disc’s 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 func-

tions, 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 momen-

tary 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.

Adding Chapter Markers

You can create chapters within a title by inserting chapter marks at the desired points.

Note:

Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals automatically. You can change this interval from the Initial Setup menu (see [Auto Chapter] on page 23).

During recording or playing back, at the point you want to start a new chapter, press CHAPTER. A chapter marker icon appears on the TV screen.

itle 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. Press THUMBNAIL to make the currently displayed picture the one that appears in the Title List menu. The still picture that you choose appears in both the Original or Playlist menu.

(Finalizing a Disc)

Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs recorded in Video mode, finalized DVD+R or DVD+RWs. Check the manual that came with the other player to check what formats of discs it will play.

Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings and editings in place so that the disc can be played on a regular DVD player or computer equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive. Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen for navigating the disc. The menu can be accessed by pressing LIST/ DISC MENU or TITLE. To finalize a disc, refer to [Finalize] on page 24.

Notes:

• Unfinalized DVD+RW is playable on regular DVD players.

• The edited contents of a DVD+RW disc is compatible on regular DVD players only after finalization.

• Any edited contents of the DVD+R disc are not compatible on regular DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter mark, etc.)

• How long finalization takes depends on the type of disc, how much is recorded on the disc, and the number of titles on the disc.
