Overviewi
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
2 ALL
Which discs you can use
If the region number on your DVD disc does not correspond to the region number of this player, the disc cannot be played.
The following discs can be used in your DVD Recorder+VCR:

Overview
Playback only
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.
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-
INTRODUCTION

Overview
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

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.
