Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

9. Transportation – A product and cart

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.

12. Grounding or Polarization – This product is equipped with

either a two-wire polarized plug (one plug blade bigger than the other) or a three-wire grounded plug (a third pin for grounding). The two-wire polarized plug will fit only one way into the power outlet. The three-wire grounded plug will fit only into a grounding-type power outlet. If the plug does not fit, ask your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not modify the plug. To do so will void the safety feature.

• 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.
