To protect your unit from 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
unit due to lightning and power line surges.
14. POWER LINES
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto or against such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits,
as contact with them might be fatal.
15. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect 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.

Recording format
This unit has two modes for formatting discs for recording: VR mode and Video mode.
When a blank new disc is loaded into this unit, the automatic format function starts to format the disc. (For
the disc format setting in this step, see page 29.)
VR mode
• 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 51).
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 51).
• When you record a TV program of a bilingual broadcast, only one of the audio modes can be recorded.
You have to select it.

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”.
DVD DISC
TITLE1 TITLE2
CHAPTER 1
TRACK 1 TRACK 2 TRACK 3 TRACK 4 TRACK 5
CHAPTER 2 CHAPTER 2 CHAPTER 3CHAPTER 1
Audio-CD
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 29.)
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 29.)
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 30).
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 “Finalize” on page 30.)
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 mode. 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 record on this disc again.
•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
