Features

DVD-RW/R recording/playback

with outstanding compatibility

• This Recorder is compatible with digital recording

on rewritable DVD-RW discs and one-time recordable DVD-R discs. It has two recording formats: “VR (Video Recording) mode” which has a wealth of editing functions, and “Video mode” which can be played back with existing DVD players. This lets you enjoy recording and dubbing to suit your purpose.

High picture quality design (Used

in all hard disc and DVD modes)

VBR (Variable Bit Rate) recording

• Constantly maintains optimal high picture quality by

varying the bit rate (amount of video data) for each scene depending on the video content (e.g. whether movement is fast or slow).

A variety of hard disc t DVD

dubbing functions

1High speed dubbing*

Enables high speed dubbing from hard disc to DVD so you can enjoy creating your own video library.

For high speed dubbing, use discs conforming to DVD-RW Ver. 1.1/2g or DVD-R Ver. 2.0/4g.

2Rate conversion dubbing

The mode can be selected from 32 levels just like recording mode. This enables recording at the optimal picture quality, given the remaining empty space on the disc.

3Exact dubbing

This automatically adjusts to the optimal record mode so that the material is dubbed exactly into the remaining area on the disc.

The time normally required for a programme of an hour on High Speed Dubbing to a double speed compatible disc

“Time Shift Viewing”, “Chasing

Playback” and “Simultaneous Recording/Playback” —functions you can only get with a hard disc

1Time shift viewing

While you are watching a programme, the phone rings.… At times like this, you can pause the programme being broadcast at the press of a button, and then watch the rest of the programme at your leisure after you finish your phone call. You can also switch to the current broadcast scene just by pressing ■STOP/LIVE button.

2Chasing playback

You return home earlier than expected while timer recording is in progress…. At times like this, you don’t have to wait for recording to end. You can immediately view the programme from the beginning.

3Simultaneous recording/playback

Even while recording to the hard disc, you can enjoy playback of a DVD, or programmes already recorded on hard disc. You don’t have to wait for recording to finish.

Comprehensive editing functions

(Only titles recorded on the hard disc or in VR mode on DVD-RW can be edited.)

1Play list edit

This lets you gather only the needed parts (i.e. a “Play List”) from a recorded original video (title). You can rearrange scenes and combine them with other scenes, or rearrange titles. This is convenient when you want to dub and save only the necessary scenes and titles.

2Chapter edit

This lets you divide a title into chapter units during recording/playback or using the edit screen. After dividing, a list of recordings (thumbnails) can be displayed in chapter units, so you can copy, erase or dub to the play list in chapter units.

3Erase Scene

This lets you erase unnecessary scenes. This is convenient when you want to cut out the commercials in a recorded programme before dubbing.

4Batch erasing of titles/chapters

Titles and chapters which become unnecessary after editing can be batch erased by selecting them from the list of recordings (thumbnails).

5Edit undo function*

If you mistakenly erase data during editing, this function lets you restore it to its immediately preceding state, just like “Undo” on a PC, so you can edit worry-free.

Edit undo can only be used once. It only works when “UNDO” is assigned to a coloured button (green) displayed on the screen.

Precautions about Using This Product

Do not use at locations at high temperature.

• If you leave this equipment at a location which rises to an abnormally high temperature (like the inside of a car with the windows shut), this may cause deformation of the cabinet or malfunction. Be very careful not to allow the area abound the Recorder or discs to reach a high temperature.

• Do not place the Recorder on any equipment which gets hot.

• Do not place at a location which is exposed to direct sunlight, or near a heater. Be careful because doing so will have an adverse effect on the cabinet and components.

Do not remove the cabinets.

• Do not remove the Recorder cabinets. Touching parts inside the cabinet could result in electric shock and/or damage to the Recorder. For service and adjustment inside the cabinet, please contact the nearest service centre approved by Sharp.

Do not cover the fan or ventilation holes on the back of the Recorder.

• When setting up the Recorder, do not cover the fan or ventilation holes on the rear of the Recorder. This will interfere with the cooling fan and cause malfunction. Be especially careful of this point when housing the Recorder in a TV stand or AV rack.

• Do not use the Recorder on carpets, or on a bed or sofa, or wrap the Recorder in cloth or other material. This will interfere with the cooling fan and cause malfunction.

Do not place objects on the Recorder.

• Do not place any objects, such as vases or lighted candles on the top of the Recorder.

• Set up at a location where there is adequate space above the Recorder

• Do not place a TV or other heavy object on the Recorder. Doing so may result in problems like noise appearing on the screen, or deformation of the cabinet.

Keep away from magnetic objects.

• Keep the Recorder away from strong magnetic objects.

Handle the Recorder carefully.

• Do not drop the Recorder, or subject it to strong impact or vibration. Doing so will cause malfunction. Be careful when carrying or moving the Recorder.

No fingers or other objects inside

• Do not put any foreign object on the disc tray.

When moving or shipping the Recorder

• Remove the disc before wrapping the Recorder. In case you will not be using the Recorder for a while, remove the disc, and turn off the power.

Dew formation

• Dew may form on the surface of and inside the Recorder if you suddenly carry it from a cold location to a warm location, or use it in a cold room where heating has just been turned on (i.e. on a winter morning). If dew forms, let the Recorder sit with the power off until the dew disappears. Using the Recorder with dew formation present may cause malfunction.(See page 15.)

Avoid dust and smoke.

• Do not place the Recorder at a location which is unstable, subject to heavy vibration or where there is a lot of dust or tobacco smoke. Doing so may cause malfunction or accidents.

Set up the Recorder so it is horizontal.

• Do not stand the Recorder up vertically or place it upside down. Doing so will cause malfunction.

Precautions about Using This Product

Upkeep of cabinet

• The cabinet surface employs a lot of plastic. Do not wipe these surfaces with benzene or thinner because this may cause deterioration or paint peeling.

• Do not apply volatile liquids like insecticide to the cabinet. Also, do not allow long-term contact with materials like rubber, vinyl products or synthetic leather. Doing so may cause problems like paint peeling.

• Do not affix stickers or tape to the Recorder. Doing so may cause cabinet discolouration or damage.

• If the cabinet or front panel display gets dirty, gently wipe it off with soft cloth like flannel. If it is extremely dirty, soak a cloth in neutral detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth well, wipe, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Using powerful cleaners may cause discolouration, deterioration or paint peeling. We recommend testing any cleaners at an inconspicuous location on the Recorder.

Electromagnetic interference

• If you use a mobile phone or other electronic equipment near the Recorder, video may be disturbed or become noisy during playback or recording due to electromagnetic interference.

Antenna

• To avoid the effects of radio interference, set up the antenna at a location away from busy roads, electric wires for train, electric transmission lines and neon signs. This is effective for preventing electric shock accidents in the unlikely event that antenna falls down.

• Do not make the antenna line unnecessarily long, or bundle it. Be careful because doing so will cause the picture to be unstable.

• The antenna is exposed to the weather, so be careful to periodically check and replace it. This will ensure a beautiful picture. Antennas are particularly susceptible to damage at locations with heavy smoke and soot, and locations exposed to sea breeze.

Hard disc (HDD)

• This Recorder records programmes onto a hard disc (HDD). The hard disc is equipped with a safety mechanism to protect data from impact, vibration and dust. However, to prevent loss of recorded data, you should be particularly careful of the following points:

• Do not subject the Recorder to any impact.

• Do not use at a location which is unstable or subject to

vibration.

• Do not move the Recorder while the power is on.

• Do not unplug the power cord from the AC outlet

during recording or playback. First turn power “OFF”, and then unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

• Do not use at a location with abrupt temperature

variation (variation of more than 10°C per hour).

• The Recorder will malfunction if used at a cold location

(5°C or less) or an extremely hot location (35°C or higher).

• If you carry the Recorder from a cold location to a

warm location, let the Recorder sit for a while before using it.

• In the unlikely event that the hard disc (HDD) malfunctions for some reason, you cannot replace it by yourself. If you disassemble the Recorder you will void the warranty. Please contact the nearest service centre approved by Sharp. We cannot provide compensation for data content if data is lost or not recorded.

Connected equipment

• Read carefully the “Precautions for Use” in the operation manual for any equipment connected to the Recorder.

Power conservation

• When you are finished using the Recorder, conserve power by turning power off. If you go on a trip, or otherwise will not use the Recorder for a long time, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet to ensure safety.

Requests regarding setup

• Do not cover the fan or ventilation holes on the back of the Recorder. Doing so will interfere with heat radiation and cause malfunction.

Notes about use

• The Recorder and cabinet may become a little hot, depending on the use environment when using this Recorder. This is not a malfunction.

• When unplugging the power cord (to move the Recorder, etc.), first turn off power (STANDBY indicator on the front of the Recorder lights up red) to protect the hard disc (HDD).

• When power is turned on, the fan will rotate to cool the Recorder.

• Immediately after plugging the power cord into an AC outlet, or after recovery from a power failure, the unit may fail to operate for more than ten seconds because the Recorder is performing system adjustment.

Notes about this operation manual

• In this operation manual, the terms “the Recorder”, “this Recorder” or “your Recorder” refer to the “DV-HR350F/ DV-HR300F DVD Recorder with Hard Disc”.

• The screen displays and Recorder illustrations given in this operation manual are for explanatory purposes, and may differ somewhat from the actual screen and Recorder.

About Hard Disc (HDD)

This Recorder has a built in hard disc (abbreviated “HDD”) for recording and playback. Beware of the following points when setting up and using the Recorder. Failure to observe precautions may cause damage to the HDD itself or its content, failure of the disc to operate, or recording of noise.

• Do not subject to any vibration or impact.

• Do not place at a cramped location which might block the cooling fan or ventilation port on the back of the Recorder.

• Do not place at a location with severe temperature variation. s If the Recorder is set up at a location with severe temperature variation, dew may form on and inside the Recorder. If the Recorder is used with internal dew formation present, this may cause HDD damage or malfunction. We recommend keeping variation in room temperature within 10˚C per hour.

• Do not place at a location with high humidity.

• Place the Recorder horizontally, never at an incline.

• When the power is on, do not unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, turn off the breaker for the area where the Recorder is set up, or move the Recorder. s When moving the Recorder, first turn off the power and then unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

Recording Format

■ HDD recording is done using the variable bit rate format for more efficient recording. The following phenomena may occur.

With the variable bit rate format, the remaining amount which can be recorded may increase or decrease relative to the display of the remaining amount of HDD space.

• When the display indicates that the remaining amount of HDD space is low, first delete unnecessary programmes, and then record with an extra margin in the amount of remaining space.

• Even if you delete a programme, the remaining amount may not increase by the amount of deleted time. When recording new video, record with an extra margin in the amount of remaining space.

• With this Recorder, part of the HDD capacity is used as a system management area.

Unrecordable Material

• This Recorder is equipped with a copy guard function that prevents recording of video software or broadcast programmes that contain a signal that restricts copying in accordance with copyrights and so forth.

• In the case a copy guard signal is contained in a source video that occurs partway through recording, recording is paused at that point. Recording resumes when the copy guard signal is no longer present, while no recordings will be made for the part where the copy prevention signal is present.

In the unlikely event that there is some problem like loss of recorded video or audio content due to a HDD malfunction, please be aware beforehand that Sharp will bear no responsibility to compensate for the content which could not be recorded or edited, for the loss of recorded or edited video, or for other related direct or indirect damages.

■ If a power failure occurs

• The content being recorded or timer recorded will be damaged if power failure occurs.

• The content being played back may be damaged.

■ For important recording

• If the HDD malfunctions, the content recorded on the HDD may be lost. If you wish to save content permanently, we recommend copying or moving the content to DVD-RW or DVD-R.

NOTE

• If a message indicating a HDD error is displayed (such as “CANNOT OPERATE DUE TO HDD ERROR.”) and the HDD has malfunctioned, you cannot replace the HDD by yourself. If you disassemble the Recorder, the warranty will become void. Also, recovery of data is impossible. If playback is possible, re-record the recorded content onto a DVD-RW/R disc, and contact your nearest service centre approved by Sharp.

Hard Disc Operation (Recording / Playback / Time Shift Recording)

• If the Recorder is used in a cold location (a location at low temperature), the drive will only allow live viewing after power is turned on until the HDD is ready. During this time, the Recorder will not allow Time Shift Viewing, recording, display of recording lists or playback of recorded programmes. Please wait until the HDD is ready.

Initialization

• Initialization erases all video recorded on the HDD. Be sure to dub important recordings onto DVD-RW/R discs before initializing.

CPRM (control) Information

• There are 3 types of copy control signals: “Copy Freely”, “Copy Once” and “Copy Never”. “Copy Never” programmes cannot be recorded on HDD. When a “Copy Once” enabled programme is copied from HDD to DVD-RW, the video is not copied — it is moved from the HDD to the DVD-RW (i.e. the content recorded on the HDD is erased).

About DVD

About MP3 file format

MP3 files are audio data compressed in MPEG1 Audio layer 3 file format. “MP3 files” have “.mp3” as extensions. (Some files that have “.mp3” extensions or files that have not been recorded in MP3 format will produce noise or cannot be played.)

ÆÆ

Æ Playing MP3 discs

ÆÆ

• The MP3 files are not played in the order they were recorded.

• The maximum number of layers which can be recognized, including files and folders, is 8.

• Some multi-session discs cannot be played.

• It is recommended to record data at a lower speed as data recorded at fast speed can produce noise and may not be able to be played.

• The more folders there are, the longer the reading time.

• Depending on the folder tree, reading MP3 files can take time.

• Folder or track (file) names are limited to 8 characters. Folder or track (file) names that go over 8 characters will be abbreviated. (Certain letters or symbols in folder names or title name may not be displayed.)

• The playing time may not be correctly displayed during MP3 file playback.

ÆÆ

Æ The following files cannot be played on this

ÆÆ

Recorder.

• Discs that have more than 257 folders or 1,000 files.

• When both Audio CD format and MP3 files format are recorded on a disc. (The disc is recognized to be an Audio CD and only tracks in the Audio CD format are played back.)

Types of Discs for Recording

• DVD-RW and DVD-R discs can be recorded with this Recorder. The recording format that can be selected may vary according to the disc version and type of disc.

• Make sure to use a disc that has the words “For Video” or “For Recording” on the disc or disc jacket for recording and playback with this Recorder.

DVD-R Discs

• DVD-R discs can only be recorded in the Video mode.

• Although additional recordings can be made until the disc is full, disc space does not increase even if titles are erased (because erasure here refers only to making the titles not visible).

• Although these discs can be played back with other DVD players once they have been finalized, the discs can no longer be recorded or erased after they have been finalized.

• Discs can be additionally recorded and edited with this Recorder only until they are finalized.

About DVD

Recording Formats

• There are two recording formats available with this Recorder: the VR mode and the Video mode.

• The recording format that can be selected may differ depending on the disc. Refer to the section on Types of Discs for Recording (page 10).

• Recording in the VR mode and Video mode cannot be mixed on one disc.

VR (Video Recording) Mode

The VR mode is the basic DVD-RW recording format, and lets you enjoy the various editing functions available with this Recorder.

• When a disc has been recorded in the VR mode, it can be recorded and erased repeatedly. Erasure also allows the recording time to be increased.

• Recorded discs can only be played back with DVD-RW compatible DVD players

• “Copy Once” programmes can also be recorded*9.

• Although there are some cases in which the disc must be finalized, the disc can be recorded and erased after it has been finalized.

• DVD-RW compatible DVD players have the following indication.

DVD players with this indication have the function of being able to play back DVD-RW discs recorded in the VR mode with a DVD recorder.

When using a DVD-RW Ver. 1.1 disc (CPRM compatible). Recorded programmes cannot be played back with other DVD players (including DVD-RW players) or DVD recorders not compatible with CPRM.

Video Mode

This recording format is compatible with commercially available DVD players and DVD-ROM drives.

• Discs recorded in the Video mode cannot be recorded repeatedly or their content overwritten.

• When recording in the Video mode, discs can be played back, additionally recorded and edited only with this Recorder until they are finalized. Editing functions are limited.

• Discs recorded in the Video mode can be played back with other DVD players by finalizing them after recording. (However, this does not guarantee that these discs can be played back on all DVD players.)

• Recordings onto DVD-RW/R discs using the Video mode employ a new standard approved by the DVD Forum in 2000, and compatibility with this standard is left to the discretion of the respective DVD player manufacturer. Consequently, there are some models of DVD players and DVD-ROM drives that are unable to play back DVDRW/R discs.

• “Copy Once” programmes cannot be recorded.

Recording Time

• The recording mode that can be set varies according to the recording format. Refer to the table below for the applicable recording mode.

Description

When you want to record highquality images. This is the standard recording mode. When you want to record for a long period of time with slightly lower image quality. When you want to place priority on recording time.

• Recordable time is based on the recording time when using a 4.7 GB disc. Since recording capacity varies according to the recorded material, there may be cases where there is much more disc space remaining on the disc when recording is completed.

• Refer to page 37 about the recordable times when you choose “MN” (manual) Recording mode.

* Since recording to DVD is performed using VBR (variable

bit rate, refer to the section on VBR Control on page 105) with the exception of some recording modes, recording time varies according to the material to be recorded.

• Recordable time may be shorter than that indicated above in the case of recording material of poor image quality such as broadcasts from televisions with poor reception.

• This does not guarantee the length of recording time. Actual recording time may be shorter than that indicated above depending on image quality and other aspects.

• The total of recording time and remaining time may not always agree with the recordable time of the recording mode.

• Block-like images may become conspicuous during scenes containing rapid movement due to the characteristics of digital image compression technology.

Disc Remaining Time

ÆÆ

Æ VR mode

ÆÆ

• Additional recordings can be made as long as there is

available space on the disc. (Additional recordings can also be made after the disc is finalized.)

• Erasing unnecessary recordings lets you increase the

remaining time on the disc. (The disc can also be erased after it has been finalized.)

• When a Play List (see page 74) is created, disc space

will not increase even if portions of titles or titles of Play List are erased.

ÆÆ

Æ Video mode

• Additional recordings can be made with this Recorder

provided there is available space on the disc until the disc is finalized.

• In case you record on a DVD-RW disc, recordable

time will increase if you erase the last recorded title unless you finalize the DVD-RW disc.

• In case you record on a DVD-R disc, recordable time

will not increase even if you erase titles (see page 73). (The erase function only hides the title, it does not actually erase it. It does not actually delete the recorded contents.)

Initialization and Finalization

Initialization (Formatting)

Initialization is required when using DVD-RW discs in the Video mode. (See page 95 for details about Initialization.)

When an unused DVD-RW disc is placed in the Recorder immediately after the disc has been purchased, the Recorder is set to automatically begin initializing in the VR mode. The settings can also be changed so that discs are initialized in the Video mode (page 95). When using a DVD-RW disc in the Video mode without changing this setting, initialize the disc in the Video mode after first completing initialization in the VR mode (page 95).

• Initialization causes the entire previously recorded contents of the disc to be erased.

• It takes about 1 minute to 1 minute and 30 seconds for initialization to be completed.

Allowing Discs to Be Played Back with Other DVD Players (Finalization)

Discs must always be finalized in order to play them back with another DVD player after having been recorded in the Video mode. (See page 95 for details about Finalization)

Finalize discs on which all recordings have been completed so that they can be viewed with another DVD player or a DVD Video compatible PC. Discs that are not finalized may not be able to be played back with other DVD players or DVD Video compatible PCs. (However, this does not guarantee that finalized discs can be played back on all DVD players or DVD Video compatible PCs.)

• Finalizing a DVD-R disc prevents all recording and editing of that disc.

• Although DVD-RW discs can be re-recorded by initializing even after they have been recorded in the Video mode and

finalized, all previously recorded contents are erased.

• Finalization is required if a disc recorded in the VR mode cannot be played back with a DVD-RW compatible player. (Discs formatted in the VR mode can be recorded and edited even after finalization.)

• Finalization takes from several minutes to about an hour. (Processing takes longer if there is considerable available space on the disc.)

The following operations may cause malfunction.

• Operating discs recorded or edited by this Recorder in a DVD recorder or PC’s DVD drive manufactured by other manufacturers.

• Using the discs in above situation again with this Recorder.

• Operating discs recorded or edited by a DVD recorder or PC’s DVD drive made by other manufacturers than the one for

this Recorder.

About the Contents of the Disc

Title, Chapter and Track

• DVDs are divided into “Titles” and “Chapters”. If the disc

has more than one movie on it, each movie would be a separate “Title”. “Chapters”, on the other hand, are subdivisions of titles. (See Example 1.)

• Video CDs and Audio CDs are divided into “Tracks”. You

can think of a “Track” as one tune on an Audio CD. (See Example 2.)

Recording on a DVD-RW/R disc

• One recording is treated as one title and the chapters will

be inserted automatically every 10 minutes. You can choose the chapter interval from the following: 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or off (page 84).

• Each title, chapter and track will be numbered in order.

Title, chapter and track may not be numbered in some discs.

Recording on a DVD-RW disc in VR mode

• When you pause during recording or erase the scene using edit function, chapter marks will be inserted automatically. You can also insert chapter marks at your favorite scenes (page 71).

Recording in Video mode

• You cannot insert chapter marks at your favorite scenes.

Important Information

Disc Precautions

Be Careful of Scratches and Dust

• DVD-RW and DVD-R discs are sensitive to dust, fingerprints and especially scratches. A scratched disc may not be able to be recorded, or important data recorded may not be able to be played back. Handle discs with care and store them in a safe place.

Proper Disc Storage

Place the disc in the centre of the disc case and store the case and disc upright. Avoid storing discs in locations subject to direct sunlight, next to heating appliances or in locations of high humidity. Do not drop discs or subject them to strong vibrations or impacts. Avoid storing discs in locations where there are large amounts of dust or locations where mold tends to grow easily.

Handling Precautions

• If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the centre hole toward the outer edge.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner, static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.

• Do not touch the surface.

• Do not stick paper or adhesive labels to the disc.

• If the playing surface of a disc is soiled or scratched, the

Recorder may decide that the disc is incompatible and eject the disc tray, or it may fail to play the disc correctly. Wipe any soiling off the playing surface with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the Pick Up Lens

• Never use commercially available cleaning discs. The use of these discs can damage the lens.

• Request cleaning of the lens to the nearest service centre approved by Sharp.

Warning of Dew Formation

• Dew may form on pick up lens or disc in the following conditions:

• Immediately after a heater has been turned on.

• In a steamy or very humid room.

• When the Recorder is suddenly moved from a cold

environment to a warm one.

When dew forms:

It becomes difficult for the Recorder to read the signals on the disc and prevents the Recorder from operating properly.

To remove dew:

Take out the disc and leave the recorder with the power off until the dew disappears. Using the recorder with dew formation may cause malfunction.

VPS/PDC is a signal broadcast by some TV stations which adjusts the start and stop time of your Recorder recording. This ensures that if there is a change in broadcast time for your programme the Recorder will still record the whole programme. It is essential that the start time as it appears in the TV listing is used to programme the Recorder, as this information is used to identify the VPS/PDC signal corresponding to your programme.

•

Even if recording by timer programming is completed, since the Recorder is VPS/PDC system compatible, the power may remain on internally (blue background output, LCD backlight off), but it will be turned off around 4 AM the next day or three hours after recording is complete.

• Data is still written to the disc after first timer recording is stopped, the first part of the next programme may not be recorded.

• During recording, press REC STOP to cancel the recording. If there are further recordings to be made, the Recorder will not return to TIMER STANDBY mode.

Dubbing (HDD/DVD)

Dubbing Method and Dubbing Types

You can dub from HDD to DVD and DVD to HDD. It is recommended to dub important programmes recorded on HDD to DVD for safe keeping.

• Can dub up to five titles (programmes) in one session.

• Cannot dub programmes that are not recorded properly.

High Speed Dubbing

• Copy titles recorded to HDD without any change of image quality and recording length. This Recorder can perform high speed dubbing with no loss of image quality of data so there is no degradation.

• Time to dub varies according to the recording mode of title (programme) to dub or type of disc you use.

• When a blank 2X speed compatible disc is initialized with other DVD recorder, dubbing may be done at 1X speed even if high speed dubbing is selected.

Example: Approximate time it takes to dub when you dub programme 1 hour long

Recording Mode of Source Title

Required time

Using a 2✕-speed compatible disc

Using a 1✕-speed compatible disc

• Even if DVD-R is compatible to 4✕ speed dubbing the Recorder will handle as disc compatible to 2✕ speed dubbing.

• If you perform high-speed dubbing of a “Copy Once” programme, dubbing will not be done at 2✕-speed, even if you use a 2✕-speed compatible disc.

Rate Conversion Dubbing (Constant Speed)

• Plays back titles of HDD and dubs to DVD-RW/R or plays back titles of DVD-RW/R and dubs to HDD.

• Selects picture quality (recording mode) for dubbing. You can select among 32 levels of recording modes so it is convenient when you want to fit the programmes into one disc.

• You can select among 32 levels of recording mode by using Manual setting but picture quality will not exceed the quality of original.

• Time to dub is about the same as time required to record the title in the beginning.

NOTE

• You cannot operate other functions while dubbing. —Timer programming will not start while dubbing. —You cannot record to HDD or playback titles on HDD

while dubbing.

Editing (HDD/DVD)

About Editing

Content that can be edited and editing operations vary according to the recording mode.

Recordings on HDD, or on DVD-RW in VR mode

You can do various types of editing with this Recorder alone. For example it is possible to create a compilation of your favorite videos by gathering your favorite scenes from recorded titles, moving scenes within a specified range, or erasing unnecessary scenes. You can edit original videos you have recorded into a Play List without changing the content of the original videos.

NOTE

• If disc protection is set for a DVD-RW, it cannot be edited.

ORIGINAL

• A recorded video (title) in as is form is called an ORIGINAL. A single recording (from record start to stop) forms a single title.

PLAY LIST

• A title created by editing based on originals is called a PLAY LIST. A play list can be remade any number of times.

• Creating from Original Titles (page 74).

• Creating from Part of an Original (page 74).

NOTE

• A Play List is a list which describes the playback sequence of originals, and it does not actually copy the originals. This makes it possible to perform editing while using only a little disc space.

Recordings on DVD-RW/R in Video mode

The following content can be edited.

• Input (change) title name (page 69)

• Erase title (page 73)

NOTE

• ERASE TITLE for a recording in Video mode will change settings so that the “erased” title cannot be seen in the REC LIST, but this does not mean that the video is actually erased. (Free time on the disc will not increase. With a DVD-RW recorded in Video mode, free time on the disc will increase when the title recorded last is erased.)

• Editing is not possible if the disc has been finalized (page

95). With a DVD-RW, editing is possible again if finalization is cancelled.

• Additional recording and editing can be done using only this Recorder until the disc is finalized.

• PCM: If you record by setting the recording mode to “FINE” or “MN32”, you can record audio as PCM (uncompressed) audio which can be played back with 2ch audio equipment. * This will not work when recording with the recording mode set to anything other than

“FINE” or “MN32”.

* Recording is done with a recording mode whose image quality is slightly lower than

FINE mode recorded with the “MPEG” setting.

• When making a PCM recording of bilingual sound, only the audio selected in “VIDEO MODE AUDIO” is recorded.

• MPEG: Records audio as MPEG audio.

EXTERNAL AUDIO

• This selects audio to be input from an external device. * Be sure to always select “BILINGUAL” when recording bilingual sound. If you select

“STEREO” when recording, the audio for the left channel (“L CH”) and right channel (“R CH”) will be heard together during playback.

* When recording bilingual sound, you can switch between the left channel (“L CH”)

and right channel (“R CH”) during playback in VR mode. In Video mode, only the audio set in “VIDEO MODE AUDIO” is recorded.
