combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.

10. Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for

ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

11. Power Sources – This product should be operated only from

the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

• The recording format that can be selected may differ depending on the disc. Refer to the section on Discs and Recording Formats.

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 DVDRW-compatible DVD players*1.

•“Copy-once” programs can also be recorded*2.

*1: • Although there are some cases in which the disc

must be finalized, the disc can be recorded and erased after it has been finalized.

• The following mark is indicated on DVD-RWcompatible DVD players.

This mark indicates that the player on which it is indicated has the function of being able to play back DVD-RW discs recorded in the VR mode with a DVD recorder.

*2: When using a disc compatible with DVD-RW Ver. 1.1

(CPRM). Recorded programs 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 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.)

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

• Recordings onto DVD-R/RW discs using the Video mode (video format) 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 DVD-R/RW discs.

•“Copy-once” programs cannot be recorded.

Discs and Recording Formats

• 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 types of disc.

Types of Discs

DVD-RW Ver. 1.1

DVD-RW Ver. 1.1 (

Video Mode

DVD-RW Discs

• DVD-RW discs are available in Ver. 1.1 or Ver. 1.1 (CPRM).

• Ver. 1.1 discs can be recorded in either the VR mode or Video mode*1.

• In the case 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.

• In the case a disc has been recorded in the Video mode, although additional recordings can be made until the disc is full, recording time cannot be increased by erasure*2.

• When a disc is initialized, all of its recorded contents can be erased allowing it to be recorded even if it has been recorded in the Video mode. (Refer to pages 12 and 88 regarding initialization.)

*1: Recordings in the VR mode and Video mode cannot

be mixed on one disc.

*2: Recording time can only be increased when the last

title is erased (titles cannot be erased after a disc has been finalized).

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.

This recorder cannot be used to record CD-R or CD-RW discs.

About Recording

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.

Recordable Time

About 60 minutes

(About 90 minutes)

About 120 minutes

(About 180 minutes)

About 240 minutes

(About 300 minutes)

About 360 minutes

• 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 times where there is much more disc space remaining on the disc when recording is completed.

• Values for recording time shown in parentheses ( ) indicate the time of Exact Rec. function. (A recordable time of about 300 minutes in the LP mode is the recordable time in the VR mode.)

* Since recording by DVD is performed using VBR

(variable bit rate, refer to the section on VBR Control on page 103) with the exception of some recording modes, recording time varies according to the recorded material.

• 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.

• 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.

• Additional recordings can be made with this recorder provided there is available space on the disc until the disc is finalized. (Additional recordings and erasure cannot be performed once the disc has been finalized.)

•

The remaining time cannot be returned to the status prior to recording, and recordings cannot be overwritten.

• The “Erase Title” editing function is for not displaying unnecessary titles. The available disc space does not increase. (In the case of DVD-RW discs, available disc space can be increased only by erasing the last title provided the disc has not yet been finalized.)

Cautions Regarding Recording

˝˝

˝ When Recording in the Video Mode

˝˝

• Since images are recorded in 30 second units (1 minute units in the LP mode), images may be recorded briefly after recording has been stopped.

• When recording onto a DVD-R disc, press ÆREC twice. If ÆREC is only pressed once, recording will be paused. Recording starts when ÆREC is pressed again. (The procedure for starting a recording can be changed (page 86)).

˝˝

˝ Always Make Sure to Test Record First

˝˝

• Make a test recording with a DVD-RW disc (VR mode) first before making any important recordings to confirm whether or not the recorded material is recorded properly.

˝˝

˝ Compensation for Recordings

˝˝

• In the event a recording is unable to be made due to a problem with this recorder or a disc, or due to an external factor such as a power failure or condensation of moisture and so forth, the manufacturer is not responsible for compensation for unrecorded contents or incidental damages.

˝˝

˝ Be Careful of Scratches and Dust

˝˝

• DVD-R and DVD-RW 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.

Initialization and Finalization

Initialization (Format)

Initialization is required when using DVD-RW discs in the Video mode. (See page 88 for details about Initialization)

When an unused DVD-RW disc is placed in the recorder immediately after it 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 86). 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 88).

• 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 88 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 videocompatible PCs. (However, this does not guarantee that finalized discs can be played back on all DVD players or DVD videocompatible PCs.)

• Finalizing a DVD-R disc prevents all recordig 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.

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

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

About the Contents of the Disc

Title, Chapter and Tracks

• 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.

Example: DVD

Title 1 Title 2

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3

• Video CDs and Audio CDs are divided into “Tracks”. You can think of a “Track” as one tune on an Audio CD.

Example: Video CDs or Audio CD

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5

• Recording on a DVD-RW Disc in the VR Mode An once recording is treated as a single title (or one chapter). However, a chapter marker (division) is inserted automatically if the recording is paused or a scene is erased during editing. In addition, you can also insert a chapter marker (division) at your favorite scene (page 66).

• Recording on a DVD-R or DVD-RW Disc in the Video Mode An once recording is treated as a single title, and recordings are automatically divided into chapters every 3 minutes. Although the interval at which recordings are divided into chapters can be changed to either 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes or off (page 86), you cannot insert a chapter at a desired scene.

NOTE

•

Numbers identify each title, chapter, and track on a disc. Most discs have these numbers recorded on them, but some do not.

Before Recording

Recordable Discs

DVD-RW Discs

• DVD-RW discs make it possible to repeatedly make about 1,000 recordings of high-quality sound and pictures attainable.

• There are two types of DVD-RW discs

consisting of Ver. 1.1 and Ver. 1.1 (CPRM). These discs can be recorded while selecting the preferred mode from two different recording formats (VR mode or Video mode).

DVD-R Discs

• DVD-R discs are able to record the high quality pictures only once.

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

NOTE

• When using DVD-RW discs in the Video mode, record these discs after first initializing the disc in the Video mode. For further details, read the section on “VIDEO MODE INITIALIZE” (page 88) of Disc Setup.

• When recording onto DVD-RW or DVD-R discs, it takes a while until recording begins (about 2 seconds for DVD-RW discs and about 10 seconds for DVD-R discs). Make sure to press ÆREC earlier when recording onto DVD-RW or DVD-R discs.

About the Recording Format

VR mode: When you want to edit

recorded material

Video mode:When you want to enjoy

recorded material with another DVD player (playback with all DVD players is not guaranteed)

• DVD-RW discs that have been recorded in the VR mode can be played back with DVD recorders indicated as being “RW COMPATIBLE”.

NOTE

• Recorded materials must be finalized (page 88) in order to be viewed with another DVD player.

• Materials recorded in the VR mode and the Video mode cannot be contained on the same disc.

Before Starting Recording

• Refer to “About Recording” on page 9 for information on recording.

NOTE

DVD recorders perform high-precision recording. Pay attention to the following matters so that data is recorded accurately on the disc.

• Do not subject the recorder to impacts.

• Do not use the recorder in unstable

locations or locations subject to vibrations.

• Do not unplug the recorder during recording, writing of data, editing, initialization, finalizing or any other occasions when the recorder is operating. Unplug the recorder only after turning the power “OFF”. Furthermore, the manufacturer is not responsible for compensation for the contents of data in the case data has been lost or was not recorded.

* CD-R and CD-RW discs cannot be

recorded with this recorder.

Initialization

DVD-RW discs must be initialized (formatted) before using for recording. (Since DVD-R discs are not required to be initialized, they can immediately be recorded in the Video mode.)

Initializing in the VR Mode

When an unused disc is loaded onto the recorder, it is automatically initialized in the VR mode.

• Disc timer recording is a function that lets you record programming information directly onto a disc. Since programming information is recorded onto the disc itself, recording is programmed simply by placing the disc in the recorder. It is useful

when recording a particular program either every week or every day.

• A single disc can be programmed with up to 8 timer recordings, including daily and weekly programming.

• When programming recording information directly on a disc, use a DVD-RW disc that has been initialized in the VR mode.

Press POWER and then load a

DVD-RW disc.

• Timer recording does not work during loading a disc. Start the timer setting after the disc is finished being identified.

Press and hold DISC TIMER for

more than 2 seconds.

• The DISC TIMER indicator on the recorder lights up and the recorder enters the Disc Timer Recording mode.

• If a disc that has already been programmed disc timer recording is loaded, the recorder enters the Disc Timer Recording mode automatically.

Set the timer recording. (See

“Timer Recording” on page 54 or

“Timer Recording with VCR

System” on page 52.)

• If a disc that has already been programmed disc timer recording is loaded, go to step 4.

Press TIMER ON/OFF.

• The recorder is turned off and the TIMER indicator on the recorder lights up (Timer standby mode).

• Make sure to check both the TIMER indicator and the DISC TIMER indicator light up.

NOTE

• DVD-R discs and DVD-RW discs initialized in the Video mode cannot be used for disc timer recording.

• Disc timer recording and standard timer recording cannot be performed simultaneously.

• If disc timer recording is set for a disc that has not been programmed for disc timer recording, the recorder will not enter the disc timer recording mode until the disc has finished being identified.

• In the case of loading a disc in this recorder for which the disc timer recording has been programmed with another recorder, check the contents of the recording have been programmed since this recorder has four types of recording modes.

• When “0h00m” is blinking as the remaining recording time in the disc information after disc identification, the disc loaded cannot be used for recording. Replace it with a different disc.

Blinking the TIMER Indicator

Timer recording cannot be performed in the situations shown below. Check the contents of the error and reprogram timer recording correctly. When an error occurs, the TIMER indicator on the recorder blinks for about 5 seconds.

TIMER indicator is blinking.

Timer recording does not work.

Front Panel Display Causes

• There is no disc loaded

• A non recordable disc is loaded

• There is enough blank space on the disc

• The disc is unplayable

• The disc that’s loaded is protected

• Timer Recording is full

• The clock has not been set.

• The channel is incorrect

• The Recording time is set at 1 minute

• The clock on the recorder is not set

• Timer Recording or Simple Recording Timer has been set

• Timer Recording is full

Solution

• Load a disc for recording, and after the disc has finished being identified, press TIMER ON/OFF to enter standby.

• When a disc for recording has already been loaded in the recorder, turn on the power and after the disc has finished being identified, press TIMER ON/OFF to enter standby.

•

Enter standby after either canceling the disc protect function or loading a different disc for recording in the recorder.

• Repeat timer recording after deleting

some of the timer program.

• Repeat timer recording after setting

the clock.

• Check the channel that has been

programmed for timer recording.

• Reset the recording time to 2 minutes

or more.

• Repeat timer recording after setting

the clock.

• Program timer recording after the

timer recording menu or simple recording menu has finished.

• Repeat timer recording after deleting

the timer program.

Setting correctly

TIMER indicator

lights up.

NOTE

• Press ■STOP when you want to discontinue recording while timer recording is in progress. Timer recording is canceled when ■STOP is pressed. When there are other timer programs, enter standby by pressing TIMER ON/OFF.

• When timer programs are programmed that have the same recording starting date and time, the first timer program is overwritten.

When Timer Recording Times Overlap

Problem

■ If two timer recording times overlap, the second timer program starts after the first timer program is finished.

Timer recording times overlap

NOTE

• When multiple timer programs have been set and the timer recording times overlap or the ending time of the first timer program overlaps the starting time of the second timer program, disc information is written and the second timer program starts after the first timer program is finished. Consequently, the start of the second timer program is delayed by a maximum of about 1 minute.

Editing the Disc

Before Editing the Disc

About Editing

Recorded contents that can be edited and the editing procedure differ depending on the mode in which the contents were recorded.

Æ When Recorded in VR Mode

Editing can be performed with this recorder alone such as gathering your favorite parts from recorded titles to create your own collection of personal favorites, relocating parts within a specified range, or erasing unnecessary parts. You can also create a “Playlist” from original recordings, or edit original recordings directly. (Those materials that can be edited differ between original recordings and playlists.)

Original

Recordings generated in the same manner in which they were recorded are referred to as originals. An once recording (from starting to stopping of the recording) is treated as a single title.

Playlist

Titles created based on an original are referred to as a Playlist. Playlists can be recreated as many times as you desire. * A Playlist consists of a list that describes the order in

which originals are to be played back, and is not an actually copy of the original. This lets you edit using less disc space.

OriginalOriginalOriginal

Playlist

Æ When Recorded in Video Mode

Playlists cannot be created from recordings recorded in the Video mode. Recorded contents that can be edited are indicated below.

• Input the title names (page 66)

• Erasure of titles (page 71)

* “Title erasure” in the case of recordings that have

been recorded in the Video mode is provided so that the title is no longer displayed during playback, and does not mean that the recording is actually erased. (Remaining recording time does not increase. However, in the case of DVD-RW discs that have been recorded in the Video mode, remaining recording time can be increased only by erasing the last recorded title.)

* Discs cannot be edited after they have been

finalized (page 88).

* Recordings can be added and edited with this

recorder only until a disc has been finalized.

Editing Procedure

This is the basic procedure when editing titles of originals that have been recorded in the VR mode.

Load a disc.

Select the desired title and

then edit the title.

•

Erasing a part from Original (See page 65).

• Inputting/Renaming the Title (See page 66).

• Adding Chapter Markers (See page 66).

• Navimark (See page 68).

• Protecting the Title (See page 69).

• Erasing the Titles (See page 71).

This is the basic procedure when editing titles that have been recorded in the VR mode after creating a playlist.

Load a disc.

Important! Selecting Start Point and End Point when Erasing a Part

• The first and last 5 seconds of a title to be

edited cannot be selected as part erasure (start or end) points. If a start point is selected during the first 5 seconds from the start of a title, the start of the title becomes the start point. When the last 5 seconds from the end of a title is selected as a start point or end point, the point 5 seconds before the end of the title is selected as the start point or end point. When the end of a title has been selected, the end of a title is selected as the end point. In addition, when erasing 5 seconds before or after a chapter marker that has been automatically added during addition or erasure of a part as well, those parts cannot be selected as part erasure (start or end) points in the same manner as above.

• Once a specified range has been erased,

it is completely erased. Since it cannot be restored to its prior state, use caution when erasing by checking the contents in advance.

DD LEVEL (Dolby Digital Output Level)

When Dolby Digital is used to record the audio on a DVD disc, the average overall volume level of the audio is relatively lower than that produced by an Audio CD. This is to provide the widest possible dynamic range. To counteract this, this recorder automatically raises the overall average volume level of a disc recorded using Dolby Digital to a level that is similar to that of an Audio CD.

ON: Dolby Digital average audio level is increased so it

sounds similar to that of an Audio CD.

OFF: Audio level recorded on disc is played back without

modification.

Digital OUT

Use this setting to enjoy Dolby Digital Surround audio by making a digital connection with equipment provided with a digital input jack.

Æ PCM

PCM audio can be enjoyed by making a digital connection with 2 channel audio equipment and MD players. Dolby Digital audio is output in the form of PCM (noncompressed) audio that can be played back with 2 channel audio equipment.

Æ DIGITAL

You can enjoy Dolby Surround audio by making a digital connection with audio equipment compatible with Dolby Digital (5.1 ch). DTS audio can be enjoyed by connecting with an amplifier or other equipment compatible with DTS Digital Surround.

EXACT REC

This function prevents a recording from ending out before it is completed by automatically changing the recording mode when timer recording (including VCR Plus+, timer recording and disc timer recording) is unable to be completed in the set recording mode due to insufficient time or available disc space. (There may be times when considerable amount of disc space remains available compared to recording time.)

• The EXACT REC function is activated when, during the course of recording in the programmed order, the next program is unable to be completely recorded due to insufficient available disc space in the set recording mode.

• A disc menu is generated for discs in the Video mode that have been finalized with this recorder. Discs that have been finalized cannot be used for recording or editing.

• Finalizing cannot be selected when a finalized disc has been loaded in the recorder. When a DVD-RW disc (VR mode) that has been finalized with a different recorder is loaded in this recorder, “UNDO FINALIZE” may be displayed. The disc can be used for recording and editing with this recorder if Undo Finalize is performed at this time.

• Finalizing of VR mode discs can be interrupted even when finalizing is in progress. However, starting about 4 minutes before completion of finalizing, the interrupt display is no longer displayed, indicating that finalizing can no longer be interrupted. In addition, finalizing can also not be interrupted if the interrupt display is not displayed from the start of finalizing.

PROTECT

This lets you protect a recorded disc. Disc protect prevents the contents of that disc from being altered by recording or editing. In addition, this procedure is used to cancel disc protect. Once disc protect is canceled, it can again be used for recording and editing.

* DVD-R discs cannot be initialized.

FINALIZE

• When a disc recorded in the Video mode is played back with another DVD player or when a disc recorded in the VR mode is not played back with another DVD-RWcompatible player, finalize the disc so that it can be played back.

• Several minutes to about 1 hour may be required for finalizing processing. (Processing takes longer time when there is a large amount of available disc space on DVDRW discs (VR mode).)
