• This mode can be used for DVD-RAM/-RW.

• In this mode, the discs can be recorded and edited repeatedly.

• The disc recorded in this mode can be played back with other DVD-RW-compatible players.

• When a Ver.1.1 CPRM or Ver. 1.2 disc is used, you can record a “Copy Once” program (see page 53).

Video mode

• This mode can be used for DVD-R and DVD-RW (Ver.1.1/1.2).

• When you finalize the disc after recording, the disc recorded with this unit can be played back with other DVD players.

• Recording, editing or playback of an unfinalized disc can be done only with this unit. However, there are some limitation to editing operations.

• In this mode, you cannot record a “Copy Once” program (see page 53).

• When you record a TV program of a bilingual broadcast, only one of the audio modes can be recorded. You have to select it.

Format modes that can be used with each disc

The usable format depends on the media type as shown in the below table.

Disc

Title/Chapter/Track

A DVD-Video has large partitions called “Titles”, and smaller partitions within them called “Chapters”. A music CD has other partitions called “Tracks”. A number is allotted to each partition and these numbers are called “title numbers”, “chapter numbers” or “track numbers”.

CHAPTER 1

TRACK 1 TRACK 2 TRACK 3 TRACK 4 TRACK 5

When recording in the VR mode

One-time recording is set to 1 title (1 chapter). However, if you stop recording temporarily or erase scenes by editing, the chapter will automatically be partitioned. The interval between chapters can be specified. (See page 31.)

When recording in the Video mode

One-time recording is set to 1 title. In recording, chapters are set automatically. The interval between chapters can be specified. (See page 31.)

NOTES:

• The title, chapter and track are numbered, but some discs may not record the numbers.

• Recording on DVD-R/RW in the Video mode is a new standard approved at the 2000 DVD forum. Conformity to this standard varies with each DVD player manufacturer. Some models of DVD player or DVDROM drive, therefore, will not playback recorded videos.

Disc playback in other players

DVD-RW/R recorded in this unit can be finalized. The disc can be played back in other players that can playback DVD-RW and DVD-R. For more information on finalization, see “FINALIZE” in “Setting the disc” (page 27).

When recording in the VR mode

Even if a DVD-RW disc recorded in the VR mode is finalized, you can record or edit by cancelling the finalization. (See “UNDO FINALIZE” on page 28.) When you playback the disc with another player, make sure that the DVD player supports DVD-RW.

When recording in the Video mode

When a disc recorded in the Video mode is finalized, it cannot be recorded onto any more. Therefore, before finalization, be sure to perform all desired recording. After finalization, a title list that can be used by the DVD player is automatically created.

NOTES:

• The finalization process may require from a few minutes up to 1 hour depending on the disc type and the amount of free space on the disc.

• A DVD-RW Ver.1.1/1.2 recorded in the Video mode cannot be recorded or edited after finalization, but if you format the disc by erasing all the content, you can again record on this disc.

• A finalized disc may not play because of the condition of the DVD or the compatibility with the player used for playback.

• Some players may not playback the discs recorded with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback using other players.

On Video CDs

This DVD supports Video CDs equipped with the PBC (Version 2.0) function. (PBC is the abbreviation of Playback Control.) You can enjoy two playback variations depending on types of discs.

• Video CD not equipped with PBC function

(Version 1.1)

Sound and movie can be played on this DVD in the same way as an audio CD.

• Video CD equipped with PBC function

(Version 2.0)

In addition to operation of a Video CD not equipped with the PBC function, you can enjoy playback of interactive software with search function by using the menu displayed on the TV screen (Menu Playback). Some of the functions described in this owner’s manual may not work with some discs.

Read this before recording on disc

This section explains things you must know to record onto a disc. Read it before attempting to record.

NOTE:

Should a power failure occur or should the AC cord plug be disconnected while recording, editing, initializing, finalizing or any other function, the program being recorded will be lost or the disc may not be playable. Manufacturer can not guarantee against loss of program or disc should this occur. To start recording again, re-format the disc or use a new disc and follow the instruction on recording.

NOTES:

Recording time can change for the following reasons.

• When image quality is poor as during poor TV reception.

• When recording on a disc that has been edited before.

• When the video is followed with recordings of still images or just audio.

NOTE:

Because of characteristics peculiar to digital video compression technology, scenes with fast motion may appear as a matrix of larger blocks.

Types of disc

You can use DVD-RAM, DVD-RW and DVD-R discs to record video.

DVD-RAM/-RW (VR mode)

• This mode involves mutiple editing functions.

• Various editing options using a created Playlist.

DVD-RW (Video mode)/-R

• Simple editing (renaming titles).

For more information on recording format, see “Recording format” (page 10).

Recording modes

There are 4 modes for recording on disc. Recording time and quality vary according to mode.

Recording

• Recording time above is based on a 4.7GB disc.

Since DVD recording is performed using VBR (Variable Bit Rate), recording time varies according to the recorded content. To know the correct recording time, stop recording and check the media information. (See page 35.)

• Recording is possible as long as there is available space on the disc. (Finalized discs can be recorded by cancelling the finalization, see “UNDO FINALIZE” on page 28.)

• Erasing unnecessary title frees up available space on the disc. (Titles can be erased from finalized discs by first undoing the finalization. See “UNDO FINALIZE” on page 28.)

Video mode

• Up until the disc is finalized, recording is possible as long as there is available space on the disc. (Once the disc has been finalized, additional recording and erasing are not possible.)

• The remaining time cannot be increased, nor can recorded title be overwritten.

• Titles cannot be erased nor can recorded titles be overwritten.

Quality

Can record high quality images. Can record normal quality images. Quality deteriorates slightly, but

recording time is longer. Recording time is prioritized over

quality.

Read this before recording on disc

Images that cannot be recorded

Some DVD-Video and broadcasts contain copy-restriction signals to protect copyrights. There are 3 types of copy-restriction signals: “Copy Free”, “Copy Never” and “Copy Once”.

“Copy Free” (unrestricted recording)

Land-based TV broadcasts and images you record yourself with a video camera allow unrestricted recording. There are no restrictions on recording.

“Copy Never” (recording prohibited)

• Images that contain the recording prohibited signal cannot be recorded.

• If the recording prohibited signal appears halfway through an image you are recording, recording is paused at that instant. When the recording prohibited signal ends, recording resumes.

• This unit incorporates a built-in copy guard. It cannot record software or broadcasted programs that contain copy restriction signals designed to protect copyright, etc.

“Copy Once” (one-time recordable)

Programs (images) that contain the one-time recordable signal can be recorded only in the VR mode using a DVD-RW disc that supports CPRM Ver. 1.1 and Ver 1.2.

Editing the disc

This section explains how to edit the recorded contents on DVDRWs. However, the items that you can edit vary with the recording formats. In VR mode, you can edit various title menus, whereas in Video mode, you can edit only a few items.

NOTES:

• This unit cannot record or edit a disc which was recorded or edited using another DVD recorder.

• You cannot edit or record the disc on which disc protection is set. In such a case, be sure to cancel the disc protection before starting the operation.

• When a scene has been erased, the selected position for erasing may vary slightly from the actual erased position.

Title menu

When the content is recorded, a title name that includes the date, time, channel number and other information is created automatically. The title menu can be used when you playback after confirming the contents (see page 34), or when you check the contents recorded on the disc.

Original title

The titles explained above are called original titles; these will be added with every recording. In VR mode you can do various editing operations i.e., you can rename the titles, or add the chapter marks. In addition, you can erase the unnecessary titles to increase the disc space.

Playlist

You can create a playlist based on the original titles. You can combine or erase undesired scenes. If you create a playlist it will become the primary list used by the disc. If you create a playlist to customize your viewing preferences, and choose to delete it, the original titles will not be affected. It is recommended to create and edit the playlist to prevent important titles from being erased accidentally. If you create a playlist, both the original title and playlist will be displayed on the title menu.

Editable items

The items that can be edited are different between original title and playlist. For the disc in Video mode, only the title name can be edited. The items can be edited in each are as follows:

Editing items

In the unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, have the DVD/VCR checked by qualified service personnel.

NOTES: • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE

REAR COVER.

• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.

• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
