cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are

provided for ventilation and 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.

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 appliance dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. Grounding or Polarization - This product is equipped with

a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

12. Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should

be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or

cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/

NFPA No. 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. (Fig. A)

14. Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

18. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

19. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

product.

c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the product does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation.

e. If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in

performance this indicates a need for service.

20. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

21. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

SERVICING

• Please refer to relevant topics on “Troubleshooting” on pages 72-75 before returning the product.

• If this unit becomes inoperative, do not try to correct the problem by yourself. There are no userserviceable parts inside. Turn off, unplug the power plug and please call our help line mentioned on the front page to locate an Authorized Service Center.

CLEANING THE CABINET

• Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasive.

CLEANING DISCS

• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center to out. Do not wipe in a circular motion.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, detergent, abrasive cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analog records.

CLEANING THE DISC LENS

• If this unit still does not perform properly although you refer to the relevant sections and to “Troubleshooting” in this Owner’s Manual, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your dealer or an Authorized Service Center for inspection and cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.

DISC HANDLING

• Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not adhere to the surfaces of the discs.

• Always store the disc in its protective case when it is not used.

IR SIGNAL CHECK

If the remote control does not work properly, you can test if the remote control sends out the infrared signal with AM radio or a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone). It will help to define the cause of malfunction.

• With an AM radio:

Tune an AM radio to a band with no broadcasting. Press a button on remote control toward the

radio. Sound will be fluttering when you press any key and the radio receives the signal. This means the remote control unit is working.

• With a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone):

Direct a digital camera to remote control, press and hold a button on remote control. If infrared

light appears through digital camera, the remote is working.

Maintenance

Dolby Digital Recording

“Dolby® Digital Recording enables consumers to record high-quality video with stereo sound on recordable DVD discs. The technology, when utilized instead of PCM recording, also saves recordable disc space, allowing for higher video resolution or extended recording time on each DVD. DVDs created using Dolby Digital Recording will play back on all DVD-Video players.” Note: This is true when the players are compatible with actual recordable DVD discs.

Hint 1: Play the recorded contents

You can select the title you want to play from a displayed menu, and immediately start to play. Recorded contents are easily accessible, with simple procedure of choosing a title on a chapter in the menu screen.

What are titles and chapters?

The contents of DVD disc are generally divided into titles. Titles may be further divided into chapters.

Hint 2: Edit the recorded disc

You will find editing discs is easy. This unit offers convenient edit functions which are possible only with DVD-RW/R discs.

You can edit the following from a title list.

• Putting names on titles

• Setting pictures for thumbnails

• Setting / clearing chapter markers

• Deleting titles or scenes

(Possible editing functions depend on the recording format and editing method.)

Original and Playlist (VR mode)

You can edit the recordings in Playlist without changing the original recordings. Playlist does not take up much disc space.

What “Original” or “Playlist” is for?

Throughout this manual, you will find Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and the edited version.

• Original content refers to what’s actually recorded on the disc.

• Playlist content refers to the edited version of the disc; how the Original

content is to be played.

Finalizing a Disc

• This will allow a disc that is recorded on this unit to be played back on a different DVD player — without finalization it will not be playable on another player.

•

After finalizing a disc if the recording was in Video mode, you cannot edit any

information that is on that disc.

• If you have recorded in VR mode on DVD-RW disc then editing is still permitted after finalizing.

Information

This unit can record to DVD-R and DVD-RW discs. DVD-R discs can only be recorded once, and cannot be erased. DVD-RW discs can be recorded and erased many times. DVD-R discs can only be recorded in Video mode, while DVD-RW discs can select a recording format between Video mode and VR mode.

Recordable disc

• We strongly recommend using any DVD-R 8x, MAXELL DVD-R 16x and DVD-RW 4x disc to assure good recording quality.

• Discs that have been tested and are proven to be compatible with this recorder:

VERBATIM DVD-R 8x

VERBATIM DVD-RW 2x

MAXELL DVD-R 16x JVC DVD-RW 4x

• About Video mode and VR (Video Recording) mode:

Video mode is the same recording format as

DVD-Video discs purchased locally, so that you can play in most DVD players. To play in other DVD players, you will need to finalize (see page 35). Unless finalized, you can play, record additionally or edit discs recorded in Video mode with this unit.

VR (Video Recording) mode is a basic

recording format for DVD-RW. You can record and edit repeatedly.

Recording speed

You can select a recording speed among 6 options, and the recording time will depend on the recording speed you select as follows. * Discs recorded in SLP or SEP on this recorder

may not be played back on other DVD recorders or DVD players.

• The recording time are estimates and actual recording time may differ.

• The audio and video quality is getting poorer as the Recording time becomes longer.

• Each time [REC SPEED] is pressed, recording speed and its allowed recording time will be displayed.

Note

• This recorder cannot record CD-RW or CD-R discs.

• DVD-RW/R and CD-RW/R discs recorded on a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty or if there is dirt of condensation on the player’s lens.

• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

• Discs recorded in Video mode on this unit cannot record additionally using other DVD recorders.

• A DVD-RW disc formatted with this unit cannot be used in other DVD recorders without any recording using this unit.

• Since the recording is made by the variable bit rate (VBR) method, depending on the picture you are recording, the actual remaining time for recording may be a little shorter than the remaining time displayed on the OSD.

Restrictions on recording

You cannot record copy-protected video using this unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-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 the screen. Video that is “copy-once only” can only be recorded using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see below).

When recording a TV broadcast or through an external input, you can display copy control information on the screen.

Information on copy control

Some satellite broadcasts include copy-protected information. For recording these, refer to the following.

Making discs playable in other DVD player (Finalize)

After recording, you must finalize the disc in order to play on other units. (Refer to page 35.)

After finalizing:

• Once DVD-RW/R (Video mode) is finalized, you cannot record additionally or edit.

• Even if DVD-RW (VR mode) is finalized, you can record additionally or edit the disc.

• When DVD-RW/R (Video mode) is finalized, the Title menu will be created automatically.

To play in other DVD players, finalize discs recorded on this unit.

What is “CPRM”?

CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system regarding the recording of “copy-once” broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media. This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played on DVD players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Frequently Asked Questions

Analog audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also Digital audio.

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).

Chapter

Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a DVD disc is usually divided into chapters. See also Title.

Component video output

Each signal of luminance(Y) and component(Pb/Cb, Pr/Cr) is independent to output so that you can experience picture color as it is. Also, due to compatibility with progressive video (525p/480p), you can experience higher-density picture than that in interlace (525i/480i).

CPRM

(Content Protection for Recordable Media)

CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system regarding the recording of “copy-once” broadcast programs (e.g. some satellite broadcasts).

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-todigital converter, generating a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also Sampling frequency and Analog audio.

Dolby Digital

The system to compress digital sound developed by Dolby Laboratories. It offers you sound of stereo(2ch) or Multi-channel audio.

Finalize

To make DVD discs, which have been recorded on, possible to play in DVD players. With this unit, it is possible to finalize DVD-R/DVDRW discs.

PCM

(Pulse Code Modulation)

The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital and MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digital audio.

Playlist

From this list you can play contents of a disc as your desired order or in sequence. Also it is allowed to search a specific scene directly.

Progressive Scan (525p/480p)

A type of display that does not split each frame into fields, and instead scans directly through all the scanlines of each frame in order. Progressive Scan provides less flickering and higher image resolution than traditional (525i/480i) TV signals. Refer to page 13 for instructions on selective Progressive Scan mode.

Regions code

Regions associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions).

Sampling frequency

The rate which sound is measured by a specified interval to turn into digital audio data. The numbers of sampling in one second defines as sampling frequency. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality as possible as it is.

SAP

(Secondary Audio Program)

Sub audio channel which is delivered separately from mainaudio channel. This audio channel is used as an alternate in bilingual broadcasting.

S-Video output

It delivers independently each signal of color(C) and luminance(Y) to TV as video signals, so that higher-quality picture will be gained.

Title (DVD only)

A collection of chapters on DVD disc. See also chapter.

Track

Audio CDs use tracks to divide up the content of a disc. The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also Chapter.

–– Can I record to CD-R/RW? No, this unit records only DVDs.

–– Can I play DVD-Video that is bought in another country? Possible when the region code of the disc is 1 and All.

–– Is this unit JPEG compatible? No.

–– Can I connect the unit to my PC? No, you cannot control the unit by PCs.

Sugerencia 1: Reproduzca el contenido grabado

Puede seleccionar el título que desea reproducir de un menú indicado y empiece a reproducir inmediatamente. El contenido grabado se puede acceder fácilmente con un simple procedimiento de elegir un título en un capítulo en la pantalla del menú.

¿Qué son títulos y capítulos?

El contenido de un disco DVD se divide generalmente en títulos. Los títulos pueden dividirse a su vez en capítulos.

Sugerencia 2: Edite el disco grabado

La edición de discos es fácil. Esta unidad ofrece convenientes funciones de edición que sólo son posibles con discos DVD-RW/R.

Puede editar lo siguiente de la lista de títulos.

• Poniendo nombres en títulos

• Seleccionando imágenes para índices

• Seleccionando/borrando marcadores de capítulos

• Borrado de títulos o escenas

(Las funciones editables dependen del modo de grabación y forma de edición.)

Original y Playlist (modo VR)

Puede editar las grabaciones en la lista a reproducir sin cambiar las grabaciones originales. Cualquier lista a reproducir no ocupa mucho espacio en el disco.

¿Qué significa “Original” o “Playlist”?

A lo largo de este manual encontrará Original y Playlist que se refieren a las grabaciones reales y la versión editada.

• La grabación

Original se refiere a la grabación real en el disco.

• El

Playlist se refiere a la versión editada del disco; cómo se va a reproducir la

versión Original.

Finalización de un disco

• Esto permitirá que un disco que se grabe en nuestra unidad pueda ser reproducido en un reproductor DVD diferente. Un disco sin finalizar no se podrá reproducir en otro reproductor.

• Después de finalizar un disco, si la grabación se hizo en el modo de vídeo, usted no podrá editar ninguna información que se encuentre en ese disco.

• Si ha grabado en el modo VR en un disco DVD-RW, la edición podrá realizarse incluso después de la finalización.
