Information on DVD Recording

Type of 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 prerecorded 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 page 42) 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. Copyprotected 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.

Note

• If you have not set the clock, the clock setting window will appear instead of the Timer Programming list. Continue from “Clock Setting” on page 67 before programming the timer.

•Use [{ \ B] 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)

The 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 page 35.

Note

• This feature is only available for analogue channels.

• If DVB channels have been stored in this unit, you cannot select PDC on.

You will find editing discs is easy. This unit offers convenient edit functions.

You can edit the following from a title list.

• Assigning a name to a title

• Dividing a title

• Combining titles

• Adding titles to a Playlist

• Setting or releasing the title protection

• Adding or deleting chapter marks

• Deleting titles or parts of titles

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

Original and Playlist (VR mode)

For VR mode DVD-RW disc, 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?

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.

Deleting Titles

Video

DVD-RW

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. Even when a Playlist is deleted, the original of the Playlist will remains, 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.
