Overview
Overview
DVD, DVD+R, DVD+RW?
What is a DVD?
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a storage medium that combines the convenience of the compact disc with the
latest digital video technology. DVD video uses modern MPEG2 data compression technology that enables an
entire feature film to be stored on a single five inch disc.
How good is the resolution of DVD compared with VHS?
The razor-sharp digital images have more than 500 lines of resolution at 720 pixels per line. This is more than
twice as high as VHS and even better than laser disc quality. DVD picture quality is easily comparable to the
digital masters produced in recording studios.
What is a DVD+RW?
DVD+ReWritable uses ‘phase change‘ media, the same technology on which rewritable CDs are based. A highperformance laser is used to change the reflective properties of the recording layer; this process can be
repeated more than a thousand times.
What is a DVD+R?
Unlike a DVD+RW disc, a DVD+R (write-once DVD) can only be written to once. If it is not finalized after a
recording, further recordings can be added to it. Old recordings can be deleted but they can no longer be
overwritten. The deleted recordings (titles) are marked 'deleted title'.
Before a DVD+R can be played in a DVD player, it must be finalized in the DVD Recorder+VCR. Once this
process is complete, no further recordings can be added.
What can I do with my DVD Recorder+VCR?
Your DVD Recorder+VCR is a machine for recording and playing back digital video discs with ‘two-way‘
compatibility with the universal DVD video standard. This means:
• existing DVD video discs can be played on the recorder.
• recordings made on your DVD Recorder+VCR can be played on other DVD video players and DVD-ROM
drives.
Regional code
If the region number on your DVD disc does not correspond to the region
number of this player, the disc cannot be played.
2
ALL
Which discs you can use
The following discs can be used in your DVD Recorder+VCR:
DVD Video (Digital Versatile Disc)
DVD-R (DVD-Recordable): These discs can only be played back if the recording was made in ‘Video mode‘ and
the recording was finalized.
DVD-RW (DVD-Rerecordable): These discs can only be played back if the recording was made in ‘Video mode‘
and the recording was finalized.
Audio CD (Compact Disc Digital Audio)
CD-R (CD recordable) Audio/ MP3 files
CD-RW (CD rewritable) Audio/ MP3 files
• Not all recordable CDs may be played by your player.
Disc-related Terms
Title (DVD only)
The main film, accompanying feature content, or music album. Each title is assigned a title reference number
enabling you to locate it easily.
Chapter (DVD only)
Sections of a movie or a musical piece that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of one or several
chapters. Each chapter is assigned a number to enable you to easily locate the chapter you want. Depending on
the disc, chapters may not be labeled.
Track (Audio CD only)
Sections of a movie or a musical piece on an audio CD. Each track is assigned a number, enabling you to easily
locate the track you want.
INTRODUCTION
About DVD Recording
Notes on Recording
• The recording times shown are not exact because the DVD Recorder+VCR 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.
• Discs recorded at high speeds (equal to or greater than 2X) may not be recognized.
• 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 the exact length of the
disc.
• The available recording time 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.
Recording TV Audio Channels
The DVD Recorder+VCR can record one or two channel audio. For TV broadcasts, this usually means mono or
stereo, but some programs are broadcast in bilingual audio channel. You can record either BIL I, BIL II or both.
Restrictions on Video Recording
• You cannot record copy-protected video using this DVD Recorder+VCR. Copy-protected video includes DVD-
7
Page 9
AAA
AAA
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 DVD+RW discs with CPRM.
Copyright Notice
• Audio and video recordings you make using the DVD Recorder+VCR 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. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is
intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision
corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.
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 DVD Recorder+VCR 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: Within 23 ft (7 m) of the remote sensor.

You will need to activate the DVD Recorder+VCR’s digital output; see ‘Audio’ Settings on page 28.
Digital Multi-Channel Sound?
A digital multi-channel connection provides the best sound quality. For this you need a multi-channel
audio/video receiver that supports one or more of the audio formats supported by your DVD Recorder+VCR
(MPEG 2, Dolby Digital, and DTS). Check the receiver manual and the logos on the front of the receiver.
• Due to the DTS Licensing agreement, the digital output will be in DTS digital out when DTS audio stream is
selected.
• If the audio format of the digital output does not match the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will produce
a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.
• 5.1 channel digital surround sound via the digital connection can only be obtained if your receiver is equipped
with a digital multi-channel decoder.
• To see the audio format of the current DVD on the on-screen display, press [AUDIO].
The DVD Recorder+VCR does not perform internal (2- channel) decoding of DTS sound tracks. To enjoy DTS multichannel surround, you must connect the DVD Recorder+VCR to a DTS compatible receiver via one of the DVD
Recorder+VCR’s digital audio outputs.

Auto Clock Set
Auto Clock enables the DVD Recorder+VCR to set the clock automatically
whenever it is in Standby mode (plugged in but powered off).
Auto Clock is only available for models with the VPS/PDC function.
Some broadcasting stations may send the time and date along with the VPS/PDC
data. The video will automatically use this time and date during the initial setting
up procedure during normal use, and every time you switch the video off at the
mains. If you find that this time and date is incorrect you can remove this feature
by following the steps below changing it to the OFF mode, you will then have to
manually set the time and date, see above.

Follow the same procedure as ‘Auto Clock Set’ to set the ‘AV Link’ status.
VPS/PDC
VPS/PDC is a service provided by some stations to enable you to perform
timer recordings precisely even if the broadcaster delays the start time of
the programme slightly. The time you enter is the VPS/PDC time so this
must be correct. Not all stations offer VPS/PDC, in which case the player
will start at the time you enter and not the actual start time of the
programme.
If you wish to start recording at a specific time without it being adjusted
by the VPS/PDC system in the event of a delay, switch VPS/PDC off
otherwise the player will not record.
Follow the same procedure as ‘Auto Clock Set’ to set the ‘VPS/PDC’
status.
