Features

Recording

The unit is compatible with DVD-RW discs, which are recordable repeatedly, and DVD-R discs, which are recordable only once.

Recording up to 8 programmes:

You can programme the unit to record up to 8 programmes, up to a month in advance. Daily or weekly programme recordings are also possible.

One-touch Timer Recording:

You can set your required recording end time easily. Every time [REC/OTR] is pressed during basic recording, the recording end time will be increased by 30 minutes up to 8 hours. The recording automatically stops when the recording time you set is finished.

Automatic Chapter marks setting:

Chapter marks will be added to recordings as you set them in the Setup menu before starting to record.

Automatic Title menu making (Video mode):

The unit creates Title menus automatically when finalising discs.

Automatic Playlist making (VR mode):

The unit creates a Playlist automatically after recording.

Automatic finalising (Video mode):

You can finalise discs automatically at the end of the disc space if you set this in the Setup menu.

Left channel stereo recording:

The unit can record monaural sound from the Left channel as pseudo stereo sound (same Left and Right channels) automatically. (This function is not available for input source of AV3 jacks on the rear panel.)

Playback

Theatre surround sound:

When the unit is connected to an amplifier or a decoder compatible with Dolby Digital or DTS, you can enjoy theatre-quality surround sound from discs recorded with the surround sound system.

Quick search:

You can easily find the part you want to watch using the search function. Search for a desired point on a disc by title, chapter or time.

Playback from Original or a Playlist (VR mode):

You can play back titles using either the Original list or a Playlist.

Virtual Surround System:

You can enjoy stereophonic space through your exciting 2 channel stereo system.

Playing back on DivX® file:

The unit performs a DivX® file purchased through the official site of DivX® Video which is called DivX® Video- On-Demand (VOD) services, and recorded it on the DVD- RW/-R or CD-RW/-R.

Playing back on MP3, JPEG and Kodak Picture CD files:

You can enjoy MP3, JPEG and Kodak Picture CD files which are recorded on CD-RW/-R.

Editing

Delete titles:

If the title is no longer you need, you can delete it from the disc. This is a useful method if you want to increase the capacity of DVD-RW discs.

Editing title names:

You can change the title name you prefer.

Add or delete chapter marks (DVD-RW only):

You can easily add chapter marks for easy editing.

Choose the picture for thumbnails (VR mode only):

You can select a picture for thumbnail at a point you like.

A scene delete from a title (VR mode only):

If the title has many commercials or the part you don't want, you can erase them from the title.

Making your own Playlist (VR mode, Playlist only):

While the Original list remains unchanged, you can edit titles as you prefer and create your own Playlist.

Divide title / Combine titles / Add titles / Erase all titles

Protecting titles (VR mode, Original only):

To avoid accidental editing or erasing of titles, the protect function is useful when set to “ON” in the Original list.

Compatibility

Playing back discs recorded in Video mode on any regular DVD player:

Discs recorded in Video mode can be played back on regular DVD players, including computer DVD drives compatible with DVD-Video playback. You will need to finalise the discs recorded in Video mode to play back in other DVD players.

*DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for recording on DVD-RW/-R discs that was approved by the DVD Forum in 2000. Adoption of this format is optional for manufactures of DVD playback devices and there are DVD-Video players, DVD-ROM drives and other DVD playback devices available that cannot play back DVD- RW/-R discs recorded in the DVD-Video Format.

Connecting to a TV (cont’d)

Note

•The unit is sending each video signals simultaneously. If you connected an S-VIDEO OUT and/or a COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT with the VIDEO OUT (SCART), make sure your TV’s input mode is set correctly according to the connection you made.

•You will not be able to hear all of the sound being output by the unit if you use the Audio cables (commercially available) to a monaural TV that has only one Audio input jack.

•Be sure that the colours of the jacks and plugs match up when connecting the cable.

•If you want to listen to the audio through audio equipment, connect only the S-video or Component video cable to the TV.

•If your TV is compatible with 525 or 625 progressive scanning and you want to enjoy that high quality picture, you must connect the Component video cable to your TV’s component Video input jacks (Y/PR/PB) and select progressive scanning mode. To set the mode, set “Video Out” to “Component Progressive (P)” in the “Video” of the “Playback” menu so that “P.SCAN” will appear on the display of this unit. See pages 81-82 for more details.

•If your TV is not compatible with progressive scanning, use this unit in interlace mode. Make sure that no “P.SCAN” is on the display of this unit. If so, set “Video Out” to “Component Interlace (I)” in the “Video” of the “Playback” menu so that “P.SCAN” on the display of this unit will disappear.

•(Analogue) AUDIO OUT jacks and Scart terminal are not available on the DTS audio.

Easy DVD recording

The following will help you to understand easily how to record on DVD discs.

Make sure batteries are in the remote control and you have connected this unit and the TV correctly.

Step 1: Choose a disc type.

There are several types of recordable DVD discs to choose from. Choose a recordable DVD disc type based on your playback / recording / editing needs. See “DVD disc types” at the bottom of this page for more information on the differences among various compatible media.

This unit can record on the following type of discs.

For example, when you want to record repeatedly on the same disc or when you want to edit the disc after recording, select the rewritable DVD-RW type disc.

When you want to save recordings without any alteration, a non-rewri- table DVD-R can be your choice.

Step 2: Insert a blank disc.

Video mode and VR (Video Recording) mode

Video mode is the same recording format as used on the pre-recorded DVD-Videos you purchase in local shops, so you can play back the discs recorded in this format in most DVD players.

You will need to finalise such discs (see pages 38-39) before playing them back in other DVD players. Unless finalised, you can record additional materials or edit discs recorded in Video mode with this unit.

VR (Video Recording) mode is a basic recording format for DVD-RW discs. You can record and edit material repeatedly. It is impossible to record additional materials on a disc formatted in VR mode and already recorded in another video system other than PAL, such as NTSC.

DVD players bearing the logo are capable of playing back DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode.

Restrictions on recording

You cannot record copy-protected video using this unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Videos and some satellite broadcasts.

If copy-protected material is detected, recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message appears on the screen.

You can only record “Copy-once only” video using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM). When recording a TV broadcast or an external

input, you can display copy control information on the screen.

CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the protection of “copy-once” broadcast

programmes. This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programmes, but you cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be played back on DVD players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.
