13.LIGHTNING
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.

Discs on which video can be recorded
To record video with this unit, use the discs below:
Media type |
Logo mark |
DVD-RAM Ver.2.0 Ver.2.1
DVD-RW Ver.1.0 Ver.1.1 Ver.1.2
Ver.1.1CPRM support
DVD-R Ver.2.0 (Ver.2.0/4x/8x)
DVD-RAM
•Use only DVD-RAM discs that comply with DVDRAM 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.
•When you load a DVD-RAM disc for PC, “INCORRECT DISC”may appear on screen. In this case, please format the disc to use with this recorder.
•When you load a DVD-RAM disc for PC, “INCORECT DISC” may appear on screen. In this case, please format the disc to use with this recorder.
•DVD-RAM discs formatted in UDF2.0 on a PC may be incompatible 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-RW
•The disc can be erased and used again about 1,000 times.
•Only the VR mode can be used for Ver.1.0 discs.
•With Ver.1.1/1.2 discs, you can record by selecting the VR mode or Video mode.
•When you record in the VR mode, you can record and erase repeatedly. By erasing unnecessary titles, you effectively increase remaining time.
•When you record in the Video mode, you can record until the disc becomes full.
•When you use the Video mode, you can newly record
on the disc by formatting the disc. However, if the disc is formatted, all the recorded contents will be
10erased.
DVD-R
•You can record on the disc only in the Video mode.
•You can record until the disc becomes full.
•Finalizing the discs allows playback on other DVD players. However, the finalized discs can no longer be recorded.
•Discs can be recorded repeatedly until they are finalized.
•Only titles that were recorded under video mode can be played. However, titles recorded onto a CPRM compatible disc in the VR mode cannot be played.
NOTES:
•There are some players that cannot playback discs that were recorded with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback with other units.
•This unit cannot record on DVD-RAM/RW/R discs that are 8 cm in diameter.
•This unit cannot record on CD-RW/R.
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.

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”.

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. |
Introduction |
|
|
||
NOTES: |
|
|
• |
The finalization process may require from a few min- |
|
|
utes 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 condi- |
|
|
tion 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 us- |
|
|
ing other players. |
|
