About this product

Introduction

Some differences

This DVD recorder is more similar to a computer than it is to a standard DVD player. In addition to a microprocessor, it contains an operating system, random access memory (RAM), and a DVD-RAM/R/RW drive. The operating system includes software that is transferred to the RAM when the machine is turned on and at other times during operation. This transfer can take time. Thus, when you turn on the DVD recorder, it may be a minute or so before it is ready to use. Likewise, other functions may not be performed as quickly as they would on other AV equipment. In addition, accessing programs stored on the DVD-RAM/R/RW drive (or deleting a program from a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc) may take more time. Please take these factors into consideration as you use the DVD recorder.

Playback Restrictions

This owner’s manual explains the basic instructions for this recorder. Some DVD video discs are produced in a manner that allows specific or limited operation during playback. As such, the recorder may not respond to all operating commands. This is not a defect in the recorder. Please refer to the notes on compatible discs later in this Introduction and to the discussion of DVD playback and features later in this manual.

Compatiblity

In isolated cases, a disc bearing the DVD or CD logo may not fully and properly play back all features. This can be due, among other reasons, to problems and errors that can occur during the creation or recording of DVD and other software and the manufacture of software discs (including blank discs). Moreover, because of variations in the quality of discs, this recorder may not be able to record on all discs that bear a DVD-RAM, DVD-R or DVD-RW logo, but you should not encounter difficulty if you use only high quality recordable DVD discs. If you happen to encounter difficulties playing or recording a DVD disc or playing a CD disc, please feel free to call our Customer Service Hotline at 1-800-319-6684.

Contents without copy protection should be copied or edited only in accordance with applicable copyright laws, which may restrict copying or editing. Contents that permit single copying (copy once contents) can be recorded onto DVD-RAM discs, with some dubbing and editing restrictions. DVD-R/RW discs cannot record these contents.

Notes

• Handle the disc according to the disc instruction manual.

Using different disc types for different purposes

DVD-RAM discs for your personal library

DVD-RAM discs comply with the global standard DVD-VR (Video Recording) format, and are optimized for recording of TV programs. You can rewrite repeatedly without deterioration of an image quality, erase unnecessary parts, divide a chapter, or specify playback area by frame. Its cartridge is suitable for a longer-term storage and family use, and its large capacity of 9.4 GB allows more recording space.

DVD-R discs when creating your own original discs for distribution

DVD-R discs are designed to comply with the global standard DVD-Video format, and can be recorded only once. DVD-R discs are convenient when you edit your original content (recorded personal events such as a wedding party) with your recorder, transfer them to the recorder and make copies to send to your friends or relatives. The discs can be played on other compatible DVD players. DVD-RW discs, which are rewriteable, can be used as well. * DVD-R and DVD-RW may not be the best suited format for recording TV programs. Because of the way the discs are

formatted, it may not be possible to edit or divide the program as you may prefer, to record secondary languages, or programs that are copy protected in a way that allows only one copy. (NOTE: “Copy once” protected programs generally can be recorded to DVD-RAM discs.)

* This recorder records on a DVD-R/RW disc in DVD-Video format only. In DVD-VR format, recording is not possible.

We cannot guarantee that DVD-RAM/R/RW discs recorded on this recorder will be playable on all DVD recorders/ players. Similarly, there is no guarantee that all DVD-RAM/R/RW discs recorded on other recorders will be playable on this player.

Introduction

Compatible discs (Continued)

On DVD-RAM discs

Use only DVD-RAM discs that comply with DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0 or 2.1.

The recorder cannot record on a disc formatted in any other standard. When using such a disc, initialize it by using the disc-format function of this recorder. The recorder may not record, dub, or edit some DVDRAM discs, because they are edited/recorded with another manufacture’s equipment or PC, contain a large number of titles, or have little remaining capacity. Also, a DVD-RAM disc may not be edited or recorded if its title contains still pictures. DVD-RAM discs formatted in UDF2.0 on a PC are not compatible with this recorder. Before using these discs, initialize them on this recorder. This recorder complies with current copyright protection technology and can copy a disc only when the disc permits copying once. When there is no indication on the disc, copying will not be allowed. Such an indication on a disc is required also for the Library Management database.

DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are recommended for recording.

Two types of DVD-RAM discs are available: ones with cartridges and ones without cartridges. You can use either of them with this recorder, but the former ones are recommended. In order to record highly detailed data, make sure the disc is clean. DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are easier to handle in this regard. Do not open the cartridge shutter. The disc may not play, or may not be recorded or edited once it becomes dirty. There are two types of DVD-RAM cartridges; removable (TYPE 2/4) and not removable (TYPE 1). It is recommended you do not remove the disc even when you can. Refer to the instruction manual that comes with the disc if it is absolutely necessary to remove the disc. Some commercially available cartridge discs cannot be recorded or edited once the inside discs are removed.

To protect recorded contents

Slide the write-protect tab to “PROTECT” with something small enough. The disc can play, but cannot be edited or erased. Refer to the instructions that come with the disc.

When using a disc without a cartridge (commercially available discs)

Discs without cartridges can easily attract fingerprints and dust, which is the reason they are not recommended. If you cannot avoid using them, handle with proper care. When you write in a title column on a disc, use a pen with a soft tip. Do not use a pen with a hard tip, such as a ballpoint pen.

Recommended discs

The following discs have been tested with this recorder:

9.4 GB double-sided cartridge: Panasonic LM-AD240U

4.7 GB single-sided cartridge: Panasonic LM-AB120U

PROTECT

The company does not hold any responsibility to compensate the contents which should have been recorded, and any losses or damages (e.g. losses of business profit, or business intermission) that may arise from malfunction of this recorder (not recording/editing as intended). Problems arising in the following situations are included.

• When a DVD disc recorded on this recorder is used in a DVD recorder of another manufacturer, or used (insertion, playback, recording or editing) in a personal computer DVD drive.

• When a DVD that has been used as above is used again in this recorder.

• When a DVD disc recorded in a DVD recorder of another manufacturer, or in a personal computer DVD drive

is used.

Some functions such as Library may not work with PC discs.

Yes

Playback side

Do not stick paper or tape to discs.

On cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and sound deterioration. Wipe the disc from the center outwards with a soft cloth. Always keep the disc clean.

Yes No

When you record on a DVD-RAM/R/RW disc, one recording will always equal one title.

If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finish with a dry cloth. Do not use any type of solvent such as thinner, benzine, commercially available cleaners or antistatic spray for vinyl LPs. It may damage the disc.

On storing discs

Do not store discs in a place subject to direct sunlight or near heat sources. Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and dust such as a bathroom or near a humidifier. Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking or placing objects on discs outside of their case may cause warping.

Before recording

Please be sure to read this critical background information prior to making a recording.

Conventional video cassette recorders have required tapes to record, while this recorder enables recording on a DVD-RAM/R/RW disc whenever you want, without selecting an available tape and confirming a point to start a recording from. Further, if you use DVD-RAM discs, you can collect necessary scenes and store them in it to make your own video library.

Is your DVD recorder ready?

Before recording a TV program on this recorder, insure that channels you want to record are correctly tuned in on this recorder. If not tuned in, read the separate “INSTALLATION GUIDE” volume again, and confirm all the necessary connections and settings have been done. Also, insure the clock is set precisely for program recording. Set the clock using the “Initial settings” menu (

Disc initializing Whenever you use a new DVD-RAM/RW disc on this recorder, be sure to initialize the disc. For DVD-RAM disc, initialization is indispensable to the database system of this recorder.

DVD-R discs can be used on this recorder without initializing.

For details of initialization of DVD-RAM/RW discs, see

If an initialized DVD-RAM disc is still unusable, it may become usable by executing “DVD-RAM physical format” in the “Management settings” menu. For “DVD-RAM physical format”, see

Programmed recording and operational status

The recorder gives priority to programmed recordings in every operating mode. Even if the recorder is playing, recording or editing, or even in standby mode, at a starting time of a programmed recording the recorder will make itself ready or stop those operations and start the recording. However, “DVD-Video finalizing process” (

108) operations may have priority over programmed recordings.

page 108)

page 6, 9).

page

When the programmed settings overlap

Before the first recording is completed, the second program is scheduled to begin recording. When using a DVD-RAM disc, the recording of the previous program stops 15 seconds before the next program starts. When using a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc, the recording of the previous program stops about 2 minutes before the next program starts, to complete data process. In this 2 minutes, you cannot operate the loaded DVD-R or DVD-RW disc.

On a programmed recording across the changeover of Daylight-saving time

• When the clock gains across Daylight-saving time during a programmed recording, it means that the recording completion time is consequently set onehour earlier. In this case, set the programmed recording one-hour longer in advance. If not set accordingly, the programmed recording stops onehour shorter.

• When the clock loses across Daylight-saving time during a programmed recording, it means that the recording completion time is consequently set onehour later. In this case, as the programmed recording continues one-hour longer, delete unnecessary chapters by chapter dividing after the completion of recording.

Notes

• The “Loading” icon appears in the top right of the screen after recording. This indicates that the unit is executing the final recording process (writing managing information). Operations other than changing channels cannot be done until this icon disappears. The time for executing this process differs depending on the recording time or capacity of the disc.

• Note that all recording content may be deleted if the unit is disconnected from a wall outlet, or a power failure occurs, during recording.

• If a power failure occurs within five minutes prior to the programed recording start time, the programmed recording may not be executed.

• A programmed recording may not be executed correctly if scheduled when Daylight-Saving time starts or ends.

Initializing a DVD-RAM/RW disc (Logical format)

Be sure to read this section prior to using a DVD-RAM/RW disc on this recorder for the first time. For DVD-R, initializing is not necessary.

A disc should be initialized in the following cases: (The recorder may display a message to request you to do so.)

e.g.

When you use a DVD-RAM/RW disc on this recorder for the first time. If data fragments produced by repeated recording or erasing have accumulated. If a disc error has occurred. When you want to record on a DVD-RAM disc for PC.

page 8)

(

Initializing formats a disc logically and insures that it will perform to its full capability. However, this erases all data on the disc, so make sure that it does not matter if data on the disc is erased whenever you initialize a disc.

How to initialize a disc

DVD-RAM physical format

Physical formatting is a simple execution for a disc which cannot be used or read (or which is becoming hard to read). It may refresh such a disc for recording and playback. (There is no guarantee that all such discs will be recovered.) “DVD-RAM logical format” process only rewrites certain data on file system and management information, however, “DVD-RAM physical format” rewrites all data on a disc, therefore it takes a much longer time to complete. For a 4.7GB single sided DVD-RAM, about 70 minutes will be necessary. While processing, all recorder operations and functions including program recording will not work until the process is finished. Also this process erases all data stored on the DVD-RAM disc.

Notes

• The physical format process may fail if executed to a dirty

DVD-RAM disc. Also, the disc may be difficult to record, even if it finished. Before executing DVD-RAM physical format process, be sure to confirm the disc is not dirty. Clean it if necessary. If the disc has scratches or dust beyond cleaner’s efficacy, do not execute DVD-RAM physical format process on the disc.

• The following DVD-RAM discs require physical formatting:

– A disc which is not formatted correctly. – The disc which has errors during writing because of dirt

on the disc, and cannot be further recorded, or cannot initialize normally.

• You need to start physical formatting from the first step

again when you use a failed disc.

• Physical formatting does not work if the disc contains a lot

of voids beyond the limitation of this recorder.

• If an error occurs in physical formatting, “ERR-01” appears

in the front panel display. To turn off the message, press the DISPLAY button.

Preparation

• Load a DVD-RAM/R/RW into the recorder. – Load a disc which has sufficient remaining space to record the program. – Make sure the loaded disc is not write-protected.

Notes

• Even if a source of high quality sound track such as DVD audio is recorded with this recorder, the sound quality becomes

regular audio CD’s one. Refer to the instructions of the connected equipment.

• When you record an external source onto a DVD-R/RW disc, set the connected equipment to output sound you want to

record (if selectable such as multiplex broadcasting), as the recorder records sounds of external source in the stereo type onto a DVD-R/RW disc, neglecting the setting of “DVD compatible mode” ( page 134).

• DVD-R/RW discs cannot record contents with copy restriction signal embedded (copy-protected or copy once contents),

DVD-RAM discs can record copy once contents.

• Some satellite programs via a connected tuner may contain both 4:3 pictures and 16:9 pictures. DVD-R/RW discs cannot

record such contents, under restriction of DVD-Video standard. To record them, use DVD-RAM discs.

• When both the VIDEO (yellow) jack and the S-VIDEO jack are connected, the S-VIDEO jack has priority.

Notes on recording from a connected VCR or camcorder

Check the condition of the source equipment before playing.

Set the equipment in good condition, e.g. clean the head or adjust the tracking, etc. to obtain optimum playback. Bad condition may produce noises in playback. These noises may be detected as copy protection signals, resulting in stop of recording on this recorder. Play a source in an usual mode. Avoid using any correcting or enhancing features, as they may add signals which can be detected as copy protection signals. Source quality or tape condition beyond adjustments on the source equipment may stop a recording on this recorder.

Do not operate the source equipment during recording on this recorder.

Operations such as pausing, resuming, fast-forwarding (CUE) and fast-reversing (REVIEW), etc. may produce noises, which may be detected as copy protection signals. Therefore, first start playback on the source equipment to confirm that the desired source can be played properly, and then start recording on this recorder. Do not operate the source equipment during recording. After completing the desired scene, stop the recording on the recorder, and then stop the playback on the source equipment. Delete unnecessary scenes using editing functions ( recording. After operating the source equipment, resume the recording as above.

Standard setting.

Superior to D /M1. Recommended for recording music programs.

Uncompressed original digital audio. Equal quality to audio CD, but recordable time will be shorter.

A programmed recording onto a Reservation Disc is marked with an icon.

Suggestions for the picture quality setting

• For normal recording or when you cannot decide which mode to choose.

Select “SP.”

• When you need a longer recording time and video quality is not important

Select “LP.” Inferior to “SP” in picture quality, but it can record longer.

• To record a high quality picture

Select “MN (Manual)” to set a desired bit rate. The higher the bit rate, better the picture quality is, but shorter the recording length becomes. We recommend that you set about 6.0 Mbps to 6.8 Mbps.

• To fill the disc

Select “AT (Auto).” A bit rate is calculated automatically according to the remaining volume of the disc. Some contents may not be recorded on the disc even if you select this function. This is not the function to make full use of the remaining space capacity.

Page 41

Notes

• The disc tray does not close automatically, even when the recording start time arrives. Set the recorder loaded an available

DVD-RAM/R/RW disc beforehand.

• When there is little time before a programmed recording starts, you may not be able to start another recording.

• Playback pauses when a programmed recording starts.

• Do not change the “TV/Cable” selection of the Initial settings while a recording is programmed. If you want to change it,

cancel the program recording. After then, make the programing again if necessary.

• Confirm the “DVD compatible mode” setting. “Main” or “SAP” records main sound or sub-sound of multiplex broadcasts

respectively, and does not record the other. Therefore, select “Main” or “SAP” only when you record onto a DVD-R/RW disc.

• When recording onto a DVD-R/RW disc, set “DVD compatible mode” ( page 134) to the desired recording sound for each

timer program.

Reservation Disc (“Lock program record”)

DVD-RAM

This function is convenient when you wish to record multiple serial related programs on the same disc.

The disc on which you write the reservation data is called “Reservation Disc.” A Reservation Disc may contain only one reservation.

Once a Reservation Disc is created, you cannot use other discs to record the same serial program. The Reservation Disc can be used only for recording a program reserved for the Reservation Disc.

As an example, if you create a Reservation Disc for a serial broadcast from 9 pm to 10 pm on Monday, then you can use that disc only for that program. When you attempt to make a reservation or record that serial, the recorder will ask you to insert that Reservation Disc.

1) Load a DVD-RAM disc.

2) Press REC MENU.

The REC MENU appears.

3) Press record.

Technical information

About recording time

The recording time of a typical VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) is determined by the length of a video tape and recording speed (SP, LP, etc.). Video tapes with various recording times are available in the market. On the other hand, the recording time of a DVD-RAM/ R/RW depends on the bit rate (Mbps: amount of data transmitted per second), which can be varied in MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group2) compression technology. As an example, when you pour water into a bucket from a faucet, the faster the water flows, the sooner the bucket is filled with water. On the other hand, the slower the water flows, the more slowly the bucket is filled. The DVD-RAM/R/RW is, so to speak, such a bucket, and the degree you turn the faucet is bit rate, the time required to fill the bucket with water is the recording time available for a disc. The higher you set the bit rate (making much more water flow), the sooner a disc is filled. Consequently, the recording time becomes shorter. The lower you set the bit rate, the longer time it takes to fill a disc.

About picture quality (SP, LP, Auto, Manual mode)

The higher you set the bite rate, the more the volume of information for the picture. The lower the bit rate, the less the volume of picture information. However a high bit rate does not always mean that the picture quality is high. The difference between the 1.4 Mbps and 9.2 Mbps is obvious, but when comparing similar bit rates, the difference may be insignificant. Generally when you set the bit rate low for longer recording time, the data volume shortage will result in a lack of detail information. As a result, the picture quality is decreased (more noticeable with dynamically moving images). For example, square noises (block noise) may occur in a scene with fast action or a scene with light and shadows, such as a water surface. This recorder has a two settings, 2 hour recording at “SP” mode or 4 hour recording at “LP” mode (both assume a blank 4.7 GB DVD-RAM). It is recommended to consider the “SP” mode as a standard mode and use the “LP” mode when you want to record for long time regardless of the picture quality. If you want to record for about 2 hours or are uncertain which one to select, select the “AT” mode.

On a blank 4.7 GB DVD-RAM disc, the “AT” mode automatically sets the appropriate bit rate corresponded to the recording time from about 1 hour to up to 2 and a half hours so that you can achieve the best picture quality. If a part of a DVD-RAM disc has already been recorded, the “AT” mode sets the bit rate suitable for the remaining space on the disc. (The picture quality is determined referring the remaining space just before recording. When the remaining space is scarce in the disc, the picture quality may decrease from what you set beforehand or the recording may stop halfway.) “AT ” mode is available also on DVD-R/RW recordings. When you want to record a music program or animation with high picture quality, it is recommended that you select the “Manual” mode. If you select more than 6 Mbps, you can usually record with considerably higher picture quality. However the higher you set the bit rate, the shorter the recording time.

D /M1, D /M2

Sound recording format onto DVD-RAM discs. When recording, sounds are converted into digital signals and compressed. In playback, they are extracted to the original sound. The standard differenciates

D /M2 in data volume to use. D /M1 and

and

D /M2 are applied the digital recording technology for consumer products of Dolby Laboratories. Dolby Digital 192 kbps is set for 384 kbps for

D /M2.

D /M1 and Dolby Digital

D /M1

L-PCM (Linear PCM)

Sound recording format, like Dolby Digital. However, sounds are converted into digital signals and recorded as they are without compression. This process requires more data than Dolby Digital.

Before editing

This section describes information for editing of contents recorded on a DVD-RAM disc. Be sure to read before performing any editing.

Basic steps of editing

Creating chapters ➔ Programming a Playlist ➔ Dub (Copy) the Playlist (this will create an Original

title of the desired scenes)

Editing is executed by a title and a chapter. Titles and chapters are classified into “Original” and “Playlist.” First, specify a desired scene by dividing a title (Original) into chapters. Then compile the necessary chapters (Original) in desired order by programming a Playlist. Then dub (copy) the Playlist on the same disc. This creates a title (Original). Refer to the following examples about “Playlist” and “Original.”

Example: Creating your own music compilation by collecting songs from music programs you record from Monday to Friday.

You can create one title for one recording.

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

(including one chapter (Original))

In the example above, five titles are created, as you recorded programs five times from Monday to Friday. The content you recorded is called “Title (Original)”

All chapters in a title (Original) are chapters (Original).

Specify the range (a favorite song) you need in each title (Original).

To specify the range, create a chapter. A segment of a song becomes one chapter by creating divisions in a chapter at the beginning and end of a song. In the example to the right, three chapters (Original) are created in one title (Original).

Monday

Division of chapter Division of chapter

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3

(including three chapters (Original))

Favorite songs

Title (Original) 1

Page 87

Introduction

Compile chapters in a desired order.

You can select any chapter or order of chapters, as you want. Also you can assign a title to multiple chapters.

Each element to be compiled is called a part. In the example to the right, the three chapters in Wednesday, Friday, and Monday are the parts. When compiled, the source chapter (Original) remains as it is in the title (Original).

A new part is not created by copying the source chapter (Original). It does not contain actual recorded content but only exists as an informational sub-set of the chapter name and the playback order (in the right example, the chapter names are “Monday, Wednesday, and Friday” and the playback order is “Wednesday→Friday→Monday”). For actual playback, the contents of the source chapter (Original) are played. Basically, it is a list for the recorder to go and find the content.

You can create a part from the Original as many times as you want and you can make different titles with the same parts by changing the combination or order. For parts, you can use not only chapters like in the example, but also titles (Original) and other Playlist.

Editing

Library

You can play the actual recorded content, such as titles (Original) and chapters (Original), or by managing the Originals and parts, you can virtually create a variety of titles without increasing the use of disc space.

These virtual titles or chapters are called “Title (Playlist)” or “Chapter (Playlist)” respectively. In order to differentiate titles (Playlist) from titles (Original), an Original is displayed on screen as “ORG” and a Playlist is displayed as “PL”.

Editing

Before editing (Continued)

Make the compiled chapters into a title (Original). (Dubbing)

Playlist

If you just want to play the compiled chapters in desired order, you only play the Playlist. If you want to delete a title (Original) which contains unnecessary chapters, be sure to dub (copy) the Playlist and make it into a title (Original).

You are now converting the virtual file (playlist) into an actual file that will become a new original file.

Notes

• A title (Playlist) or a chapter (Playlist) is based on a title (Original) or a chapter (Original). Therefore changing or deleting a title (Original) or a chapter (Original) will affect the related title (Playlist) or chapter (Playlist).

• Some recorded content cannot be edited (for example, a title including still images).

• The boundary of the title with unnecessary part deleted and titles (Playlist) having different parts cannot be played back

seamlessly (without break).

Editing

DVD-RAM

Creating chapters

A recording makes 1 title, which includes 1 chapter. By dividing it into several chapters, it will be easier to access a desired scene, and your editing or playback will be much easier.

To create chapters in a title, insert a chapter mark. Playback the content, locate a point where you want to divide, then press the CHP DIVIDE button. You can insert a chapter mark also while recording, by pressing the CHP DIVIDE button. (A chapter will also be placed in the recording when you pause.) The point divides the chapter (into two). You can create multiple chapters by repeating the above operation.

Notes

• Chapters cannot be created in the following modes: Dubbing / Fast-reverse, Fast-forward / Slow-motion

• You cannot divide a title of a DVD-R/RW disc into chapters. It is possible to create chapters in a DVD-R/RW disc by pressing the CHP DIVIDE button during recording at the desired points, or by selecting an option that inserts chapter marks automatically during recording at regular intervals. ( page 134)

If you want to modify the chapter division, or want to place a chapter mark more precisely monitoring the frame counter, follow the procedures below.
