To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player and the display device (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (highbandwidth digital content protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display device (or AV amplifier) for more information. *HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface

Note

• Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices with an HDMI input may not operate properly with this unit.

• When using an HDCP-incompatible display device, the image will not be viewed properly.

• This unit does not support Regza link or CEC control.

• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length) may be limited by the device that is connected.

• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (for example, projectors). In connections with device such as this unit, audio signals are not output from the HDMI output connector.

• When this unit’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI-DVI converter cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.

• If the connected equipment is not compatible with HDMI BITSTREAM, DTS sound will not be output.

• When the power failure occurs, or when you unplug the unit, some problems in the HDMI setting might occur. Please check and set the HDMI setting again.

Connecting to an External Equipment

This unit has four input terminals which can be selected using [INPUT SELECT ] on the remote control, AV1 or AV2 on the rear panel and AV3 or DV (AV4) on the front panel. Be sure that all the units are off before making connections.

Information on DVD Recording

Type of Discs

This unit can record on DVD-RW/-R discs and DVD+RW/+R discs. DVD-R/+R discs allow you to record programmes only once, and the recorded contents can be erased although the space left on the disc does not change. DVD-RW/+RW discs allow you to record programmes repeatedly, and the recorded contents can be erased. There are 3 recording formats: VR mode, Video mode and +VR mode. VR and Video modes are available for DVD-RW discs while as only Video mode is available for DVD-R discs. +VR mode is available for DVD+RW/+R discs.

Video mode is the same recording format as used on the pre-recorded DVD-Videos you purchase in local shops. You can play back the discs recorded in this format in most of the DVD players. You will need to finalise such discs (see pages 52 to 53) 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. VR mode offers advanced editing, and you can record and edit material repeatedly, however it is playable only on VR mode compatible unit. Finalisation is recommended before playing them back in other unit. +VR mode is a recording format for DVD+RW/+R disc. +VR mode offers basic editing, and it is playable in most DVD players. Finalisation is recommended before playing them back in other unit.

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.

Information on Copy Control

Some satellite broadcasts include copy-protected information. If you wish to record them, refer to the following.

Note

• If you have not set the clock, the clock setting window will appear instead of the Timer Programming list. Continue from the step 4 in “Manual Clock Setting” on page 33 to set the clock, before programming the timer.

•Use [L / P] to move the cursor to the left and the right in the entry screen for the timer programming.

• If a basic recording or One-touch Timer Recording is in progress on one component (e.g. VCR) and the timer recording set for the other component (e.g. DVD) is about to begin, the unit automatically switches to the programmed channel for timer recording 2 minutes before the programmed starting time, and the recording in progress (for VCR) will be cancelled UNLESS their recording channels are the same. If their recording channels are the same, the timer recording will start without cancelling the recording currently in progress. In this case, the recording of the same channel will be made on both DVD and VCR.

• Cancel the timer-standby mode by pressing [TIMER SET] before operation for either DVD or VCR. When finished operating, press [TIMER SET] to resume the timer-standby mode.

• In the timer-standby mode, you can turn on the power and use the component (VCR or DVD) which is not currently timer-programmed.

PDC (Programme Delivery Control)

Programme Delivery Control (PDC) assures that the TV programmes you have programmed for timer recording are recorded exactly from beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to a delayed start or extension of the programme duration. Furthermore, if a programme is interrupted, the recording will also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the programme starts again.

If the PDC signal drops out because the broadcast signal is weak, or if a broadcasting station does not transmit a regular PDC signal, the timer recording is performed in normal mode (without PDC) even if it was programmed for PDC. If the starting time of the PDC timer recording is between 0:00 and 3:59 on a given day, the PDC function will operate from 20:00 on the previous day to 4:00 on the next day. If the starting time of the PDC timer recording is between 4:00 and 23:59 on a given day, the PDC function will operate from 0:00 on the given day to 4:00 on the next day. This means that if the relevant programme is broadcasted within this period, it is recorded correctly. If the timer is not programmed correctly, the incorrect timer setting stays in effect unless you cancel it. To cancel an incorrect timer setting, refer to “Checking, Cancelling or Correcting the Timer Programming Information” on this page.

Note

• This feature is only available for analogue channels.

• If you have a timer programme with the EPG system (see page 44), this feature may not work.

What “Original” or “Playlist” is for?

There are 2 types for the title list: Original and Playlist

• Original content refers to what’s actually recorded

on the VR mode DVD-RW disc.

• Playlist content refers to the edited version of the

VR mode DVD-RW disc; how the Original content is to be played.

Finalising a Disc

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

• After finalising a DVD-RW/-R or DVD+R disc, you cannot edit any information that is on that disc.

• If you have recorded in DVD+RW disc, then editing is still permitted after finalising.

Using these editing functions to modify copyrighted content for any purpose other than your private viewing may be prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.

Note

• A Playlist is not available for DVD-R or Video mode DVD-RW and DVD+RW/+R discs.

• It is not possible to edit a disc recorded in another video system other than PAL, such as NTSC.

You can delete titles you do not want to keep. When an Original is deleted from VR mode DVD-RW disc, the recordable disc space will increase. When a Playlist is deleted, the original of the Playlist will remain, and recordable disc space will not increase. Recordable disc space of Video mode DVD-RW and DVD+RW disc will increase when the last title on the title list is deleted. However, deleting the title will not change recordable disc space for DVD-R and DVD+R disc. In finalised DVD-R, Video mode DVD-RW or DVD+R discs, you cannot select the title list because it cannot be edited once finalised.

Note

• It is not possible to retrieve deleted titles.

Glossary

Analogue audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. In contrast, digital audio can also 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 (i.e., the screen is almost square). Widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as its height).

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 (P independent to output so that you can experience picture colour as it is intended to be. Also, due to compatibility with progressive video (576p/480p), you can experience higher-definition picture than that in interlace (576i/ 480i signal).

CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media)

CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the protection of “copy-once” broadcast programmes (e.g. some satellite broadcasts).

Digital audio

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

Dolby Digital

A system developed by Dolby Laboratories that compresses digital sound. It works with stereo (2ch) or multi-channel audio.

DTS (Digital Theater System)

DTS is a multi channel surround sound system. By connecting to DTS decoder, you can enjoy dynamic and realistic sound like movie theatre. DTS surround sound technologies were developed by DTS, Inc.

B/CB, PR/CR) is

Finalise

To make DVDs that have been recorded playable in DVD players. It is possible to finalise DVD-RW/-R and DVD+RW/+R discs with this unit.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

A digital interface between audio and video source. It can transmit component video, audio, and control signal with one cable connection.

INSTANT SKIP

This unit can skip TV commercials during DVD Video playback. Once [INSTANT SKIP] is pressed, the start point will be set forward 30 seconds and playback resume automatically. (You can press

[INSTANT SKIP] up to 6 times.)

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

JPEG is a method of compressing still image files. You can copy JPEG files on CD-RW/-R discs from a computer and play back the files on this unit.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

MP3 is a method of compressing files. You can copy MP3 files on CD-RW/-R discs from a computer and play back the files on this unit.

PBC (Video CD only) (Playback Control)

This function enables you to play back interactive software using a menu screen. See also “Title”.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

PCM is a format that converts audio into digital data. It is mainly used for Audio CDs and DAT. This unit can play back sounds as realistic as possible by converting even compressed Dolby Digital and MPEG audio to PCM.

Playlist

From this list, you can play back contents of a disc in your desired order or in sequence. It is also possible to directly search for a specific scene.

Progressive Scan (576p/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 (576i/ 480i) TV signals. Refer to pages 20 to 21 and 81 to 82 for instructions on the Progressive Scan mode selection.

Region code

Regions associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play back 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 at which sound is measured by a specified interval to turn it into digital audio data. The number of samples in one second is defined as the sampling frequency. The higher the rate is, the better the possible sound quality.

Title (DVD)

A collection of chapters on a DVD. See also “Chapter”.

(Video CD)

The contents of a Video CD. When playing back a Video CD with the PBC function, the Title menu will appear automatically.

Track

Audio CDs and Video CDs use tracks to divide the contents of a disc. The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also “Chapter”.

Video mode

Video mode is the same recording format as used on the DVD-Videos you purchase in local shops. You can play back the discs recorded in this format in most DVD players, however it offers only limited editing. You will need to finalise discs recorded in Video mode before playing them back on other unit.

VR mode

A basic recording format for DVD-RW. VR mode offers advanced editing, and you can record and edit material repeatedly, however it is playable only on VR mode compatible unit. Finalisation is recommended before playing them back on other unit.

+VR mode

A recording format for DVD+RW/+R. +VR mode offers basic editing, and it is playable on most DVD players. Finalisation is recommended before playing them back in other unit.
