otes

This VCR/DVD Recorder is designed and manufactured for playback of Region 1 encoded DVD software. The region code on the labels of some DVD discs indicates which type of VCR/DVD Recorder can play those discs. This unit can play only DVD discs labeled 1 or ALL. If you try to play any other discs, the message “Incorrect region code. Can’t playback” will appear on the TV screen. Some DVD discs may not have a region code label even though their playback is prohibited by area limits.

otes on DVDs

VCR/DVD Recorder plays DVDs according to disc content designed by the software manufacturer, some playback features of the

VCR/DVD

Overview (Continued)

About DVD-R and DVD-RW disc

How are DVD-R and DVD-RW discs different?

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

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

Generally, 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.

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

What are “Recording modes”?

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

VR mode recording

•3 different picture quality/recording time settings are available (SP, LP, XP)

• Not playable on regular DVD players

• Recordings can be extensively edited

Video mode recording

•3 different picture quality/recording time settings are available (SP, LP, XP)

• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)

• Limited editing features

Many functions of this recorder are dependent on the recording mode. One or more of the symbols

( ,

) appear by each function explained in this manual so that you can see at a glance whether it’s relevant for the disc loaded. You can find more information on disc formats and recording modes on the next page.

ote

DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for recording on 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 encountered on other players when playing discs recorded on this recorder.

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 the terms “Original” and “Playlist”

Throughout this manual, you will often see the terms 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.

• SANYO 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 three different kinds of DVD discs: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, and DVD-R discs. The disc format for DVD-R discs is always “Video format”—the same as pre-recorded DVDVideo discs. This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD-R in a regular DVD player. By default, the DVD-RW disc format is Video Recording format, though you can change this to Video format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase the contents of the disc.) 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.

Overview (Continued)

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 time 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 24 (Disc Initialize) for details on 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 Original-Title 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).

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 (utilizing a scramble system) that only allows 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.

Remote Control Operation Range

Point the remote control at the remote sensor and press the buttons.



Distance: Approx. 23 ft (7 m) from the front of the remote sensor.



Remote Control Battery Installation

Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control, and insert two AAA batteries with the and ends aligned correctly.

Caution

Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.).

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 considerable heat build-up 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 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 is output in 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 DIGITAL

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 is output in PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video disc recorded on the MPEG1, or MPEG2 recording system. Bitstream: Select when connected to an 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 unit 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.

DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

The DVD format provides program soundtracks as accurately as 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). This allows you to 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 Recordings

About MP3



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



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

MP3 Disc compatibility with this recorder is limited as follows:

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

“JOLIET”.

2. If you record MP3 files using software which cannot

create a FILE SYSTEM (e.g., “Direct-CD” etc.), then you cannot playback MP3 files. We recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 or JOLIET file system.

3. 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 1999.

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 files) 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 files and music from the Internet. SANYO has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.

Notes on JPEG Files



Depending on the size and number of the JPEG files, it could take a long time for the DVD player 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 on the disc are free but the total number of files and folders on the folder should be less than 1999.



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

 When you are using software such as “Easy CD

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

 If the files have “.jpe” or “.jpeg” extensions, rename

them as “.jpg” files.

 File names without the “.jpg” extension will not be

read by this VCR/DVD Recorder, even if the files are shown as JPEG image files in Windows Explorer.

 On a mixed CD with audio titles, MP3 files, and JPEG

files, you can switch the AUDIO CD menu, MP3 CD menu, and Photo CD menu by pressing the TITLE button repeatedly in STOP mode.

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 VCR/DVD 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 VCR/DVD Recorder is only compatible with DVformat (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 VCR/DVD Recorder.

•You cannot control this VCR/DVD 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. This VCR/DVD Recorder can only record one stereo audio track. Set DV Record Audio to Audio 1 or Audio 2 as necessary (see page 24).

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

DV-Related Messages

You may see the following messages appear on your TV screen when using the DV IN jack.

Camcorder not connected

Troubleshooting

If you cannot get a picture and/or audio through the DV IN jack, check the following:

•Make sure the DV cable is properly connected.

•Try switching off the connected equipment, then switching it back on.

•Try switching the audio input.

ote

Depending on the connected camcorder, you may not be able to control it using the remote control supplied with this VCR/DVD Recorder.

RECORDING

Page 44

VR Mode: Original and Playlist Editing

When you edit Original content, the actual content of the disc is changed. For example, if you delete a title or chapter of Original content, that title or chapter is deleted from the disc. Consequently, extra recording time is created. When you edit a Playlist, on the other hand, you are not actually changing the content of the disc. For example, when you delete a title from a Playlist, you are just telling the VCR/DVD 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 (i.e., 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.

• It takes some time to record edited effects in a disc. So these effects may not be recorded if the power supply is cut off just after editing operations (e.g. copy, deleting contents, rename, or moving playlist, etc.).

Adding Chapter Markers

You can put a chapter marker anywhere in a Playlist or Original title during recording or playback. Once the chapter is marked, you can use the Chapter Search feature. You can also Erase, combine, and move chapters in the Original-Chapter or PlaylistChapter menu. You can insert up to 999 chapter markers in both the Original and Playlist contents.

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 in during recording.

Changing Title or Chapter Thumbnails

Each title and chapter displayed in the Original or Playlist 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 and Playlist Menus.

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

Troubleshooting (Continued)

Video Head Cleaning

Video head clogging

The video heads are the means by which the unit reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, use a high quality head cleaning system or have them cleaned professionally.

Snowy Picture

Video head cleaning

Video head cleaning is needed when the playback picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are getting dirty and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use an equivalent high quality chemical non-abrasive (wet) head cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally. If playing a head cleaning tape in the unit once does not improve the picture, play it several times before requesting service.

otes

 DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP COVER.  Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.  To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
