• With a digital camera (including built-in camera of

cellular phone):

Direct a digital camera to remote control, press and hold a button on remote control. If infrared light appears through digital camera, the remote control is working.

commercially available cleaners, detergent, abrasive cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analog records.

Cleaning the Disc Lens

• The HDMI mode that is not supported by display device will be skipped.

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 (high-bandwidth 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

• 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.

• Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI connector; however, this unit cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI connector.

• 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.

• 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.

• HDMI video resolution cannot be changed when the unit is in VCR mode.

XP 60 min

SP 120 min 36 min

LP 240 min 72 min

EP 360 min 108 min

SLP 480 min 144 min

• The recording times listed above are estimates and are for reference purposes only. Actual recording times may vary.

• The audio and video quality of content being recorded may differ depending on the recording mode/recording time chosen.

Recording time

12cm 8cm

18 min

Note

• This unit cannot record to CD-RW or CD-R.

• All high definition pictures will be down converted to the standard definition pictures when they are recorded on this unit.

• DVD-RW/-R, DVD+RW/+R and CD-RW/-R recorded on a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or if there is condensation on the player’s lens.

• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format it may not be played back or dubbed because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

• Discs recorded in video mode on this unit cannot record additional information using other DVD recorders.

• Since the recording is made by the VBR (variable bit rate) method, depending on the picture you are recording, the actual remaining time for recording may be a little shorter than the remaining time displayed on the TV screen.

Video/

Sound Quality

Restrictions on Recording

You cannot record copy-protected program using this unit. Copy-protected video signal is included in DVDvideos, some satellite broadcasts, some pay-per-view stations and some “premium” stations. If copy-protected material is detected, recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message appears on the screen. “Copy-once only” video can only be recorded to CPRM compatible DVD-RW formatted in VR mode.

What is “CPRM”?

CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system regarding the recording of “copy-once” broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media. This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot make another copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on CPRM compatible DVD-RW formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played back on DVD players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Making discs playable in other DVD players (Finalize)

For DVD-RW/-R, it is necessary to finalize the disc after recording, in order to play back the disc on other DVD players. (Refer to pages 35-37.) For DVD+RW/+R, it is recommended to finalize the disc in order to make the disc more compatible to other DVD player. When video and +VR mode disc are finalized, a title menu is created. You cannot finalize discs in other DVD recorders.

Edit the recorded disc

You will find editing discs is easy. This unit offers convenient edit functions which are possible only with DVD-RW/-R and DVD+RW/+R.

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

• Erasing all 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, you can edit the recordings in playlist without changing the original recordings. Playlist does not take up much disc space. After you make a

recording to VR mode DVD-RW, a playlist will be created automatically.

What “Original” or “Playlist” is for?

Throughout this manual, you will find original and playlist which refer to the actual content and the edited version.

• Original content refers to what’s actually recorded on the VR mode DVD-RW.

• Playlist content refers to the edited version of the VR mode DVD-RW; how the original content is to be played back.

Finalizing a disc

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

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

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

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.
