Playing back discs recorded in Video mode in any regular DVD player: [E Page 55]

Discs recorded in Video mode can be played back in regular DVD players, including computer DVD drives compatible with DVD-Video playback. You will need to finalise the discs recorded in Video mode to play back in other DVD players. Although DVD+RW / +R discs are playable in other units without finalisation in most cases, it is recommended to finalise in order to stabilise the performance.

* DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for

recording on DVD-RW/-R discs that was approved by the DVD Forum in 2000. Adoption of this format is optional for manufactures of DVD playback devices and there are DVD-Video players, DVD-ROM drives and other DVD playback devices available that cannot play back DVD-RW/-R discs recorded in the DVD-Video Format.

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 (highbandwidth 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

• Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is possible that 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.

• 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 conversion cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.

• If the connected equipment is not compatible with HDMI BITSTREAM, DTS sound will not be output.

• 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.

Connecting to an External Equipment

This unit has four input terminals which can be selected using [INPUT SELECT F] on the remote control, AV1 or AV2 on the rear panel and AV3 or DV(AV4) on the front panel. Be sure that all the units are switched off before making connections.

Information on DVD Recording

• The recording times are estimates and actual recording time may differ.

• The audio and video quality becomes poorer as the recording time gets longer.

Type of Discs

This unit can record on DVD-RW/-R discs and DVD+RW/+R 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 pre-recorded 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 55) 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. Copy-protected 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) or internal HDD. 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.

Information on Copy Control

Some satellite broadcasts include copy-protected information. If you want to record them, refer to the following.

Note

• This unit cannot record on CD-RW or CD-R discs.

• DVD-RW/-R, DVD+RW/+R and CD-RW/-R discs 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 recorder’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 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 recording is performed using the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) method, the actual remaining time for recording may be a little shorter than the remaining time displayed on the OSD, depending on the picture you are recording.

Making Discs Playable in Other DVD Players (Finalise)

After recording, you must finalise the disc to play it back in other players. (See page 55.) You cannot finalise discs in other DVD recorders.

After finalising

• After DVD-R discs are finalised:

- A Title menu is created automatically.

- Undo finalising is not possible.

- Additional recording or editing is not possible.

• After DVD-RW (Video mode) discs are finalised:

- A Title menu is created automatically.

- Undo finalising is possible. (See page 55.)

- Additional recording or editing is possible if you

undo finalise. (See page 55.)

• After DVD-RW (VR mode) discs are finalised:

- A Title menu is not created.

- Undo finalising is possible. (See page 55.)

- Additional recording or editing is possible if you

undo finalise. (See page 55.)

• After DVD+RW discs are finalised:

- A Title menu is created automatically.

- Undo finalising is possible. (See page 55.)

- Additional recording or editing is possible even

without undo finalising.

• After DVD+R discs are finalised:

- A Title menu is created automatically.

- Undo finalising is not possible.

- Additional recording or editing is not possible.

Be sure to dub (back up) data promptly if you find abnormalities in HDD:

If there is mechanical trouble with the HDD, grinding or other sounds may be heard or blocky noise may appear on the image. If you continue to use as it is, deterioration may continue and eventually the HDD may not be used at all. If you notice any symptoms of a failing HDD, promptly dub the data to a DVD disc. When an HDD fails, recovery of recorded content (data) may be impossible.

About the remaining capacity of HDD recording time:

In recording to HDD, the Remaining Capacity Display may differ from the actual recordable time as this unit adopts Variable Bit Rate encoding, which varies the recording (storage) amount of data in accordance with the amount of information in the video signal. Before recording to the HDD, ensure there is sufficient space on the HDD by deleting unnecessary titles in advance. (Remaining capacity will not increase if you only delete Playlists.)

Maximum Recordable Numbers of Title / Chapters

HDD:

600 Original titles 600 Playlists 99 chapters per Original/Playlist title

About HDD

HDD is a special device which has high recording density and is suited for long-time recording or highspeed cueing but by contrast, has many factors which can cause breakage. Use HDD on the premise that you should dub the recorded programmes to a DVD disc to protect your precious videos.

HDD is a temporary storage location:

HDD is not a permanent storage location of the recorded contents. Be sure to use it as a temporary storage location until you watch the programmes once, edit them, or dub them to a DVD disc.
