Creating a DVD-Video using DVD-R/RW

Content stored on the HDD of the recorder can be edited and copied to a DVD-R/RW, a popular media for distribution, and played on a compatible DVD video player.

Notice

• Beforehand confirm the contents of a disc.

If you use a DVD-R disc, prepare a new one. This DVD-Video creation procedure is possible only once per disc on this recorder. Once you have copied to a DVD-R, you cannot redo, add, delete, or correct the copied contents in the disc. If you start copying then cancel the job, you cannot re-use the DVD-R.

If you use a DVD-RW, be sure to confirm the contents in it. This procedure overwrites a whole disc, and all of the contents in a DVD-RW will be lost. If you want to add contents to a DVD-RW, do not use this procedure. Record directly or make a dubbing to the DVD-RW, then execute the finalization ( the finalizing process, and you will not be able to add, delete, or correct contents to a DVD-RW later, as it will have been finalized. If a finalized DVD-RW has remaining space, you can add contents there if you cancel the finalizing process of the DVD-RW (

• Do not start copying to a DVD-R/RW when programmed recording is scheduled to begin shortly.

Copying entirely to a DVD-R/RW will take 1 hour and a half (variable depending on the contents). (This does not include time for “Writing Test”. This option requires more time. Actual time for “Writing Test” depends on the contents to test, and may be longer than the playing time of the contents if the disc contains too little contents or too many quality and picture settings, etc.)

If a start time of a programmed recording comes during this procedure, the recording is made onto the HDD. However, while making a menu theme, the recording is not executed. Also, programmed recordings to DVD media with “Off” setting of “Relay recording” (

If a programmed recording starts during this procedure, you cannot continue to make another disc after completion of the first disc.

• Ensure the compatibility of a disc.

Refer to the

* Discs made by this procedure will comply with the DVD-Video standard. However, it is not guaranteed to play

properly on all DVD video players (including TOSHIBA products).

Depending on the disc, there may be a difference of data capacity between DVD-R and DVD-RW. It may be possible that contents you have just recorded onto a DVD-R cannot be recorded onto a DVD-RW. (DVD-RW capacity may be smaller.)

Notes

• The number of titles that you can write on a DVD-R/RW disc is limited (99 titles. Each title should have 99 chapters or less). If you have a large number of titles or chapters, you may not be able to write due to the limitation of the DVD specifications. Also, even if the number of titles and chapters is within the limit, you may not be able to write if you have a large number of menu items.

• Due to standard differences, the number of chapters and their position may change slightly after DVD-Video creation. (For chapters generated on a DVD-R/RW disc, the same thumbnail for the Original chapter is displayed.)

• Due to standard limitation, a DVD-R/RW disc may contain unnecessary scenes after creation.

• If you select items of various types of video outputs, aspect ratios or other properties, or if you select an item recorded with different settings, they may be divided into titles. (For titles generated on a DVD-R/RW disc the same thumbnail for the Original title is displayed).

• Content based on a complicated PlayList or composed of too many items may not be copied properly.

• Copy-once permitted contents cannot be copied to a DVD-R/RW disc, even if they are recorded onto the HDD while “DVD compatible mode” is set to “Main” or “SAP” ( page 184).

• Content recorded on a recorder other than this recorder (including TOSHIBA products) cannot be copied to a DVDR/RW disc using High Speed Dubbing. First set “DVD compatible mode” to “Main” or “SAP” and record them onto the HDD. Then perform “Rate conversion dubbing for multiple parts” ( page 108) to copy to the HDD.

• When a content is recorded with manual rate 1.0 Mbps or

1.4 Mbps and is including a 16:9 picture shape scene, the DVD creation of the content may fail. In this case, set “Set Aspect Ratio” to “4:3 fixed” on the menu “(Option Settings)”.

• Even if the title is recorded with “DVD compatible mode” set to “Main” or “SAP”, using a recorder other than this may cause failure when recording to a DVD-R/RW disc.

• If the DVD-Video creating fails to be completed, most of the discs cannot be used again.

• If an error occurs while a DVD-Video is created, the error code “ERR-**” (** indicates the error code) is shown in the front panel display of the recorder. ( page 193) To clear this display, press DISPLAY button.

• There may be a difference between a specified thumbnail of menu in the DVD-Video creation procedure and the one on displayed in CONTENT MENU.

What is Network Navi?

Network Navi can operate and set the recorder using a web screen. You need a PC that can be connected to the recorder with a Local Area Network (LAN). If you have an always-on internet connection, you can use email to remotely set a timer recording.

Main features of Network Navi

Editing titles using a PC

As in the “CONTENT MENU” of the recorder, this feature displays a list of content that were recorded on the internal HDD and DVD-RAM/R/RW. You can change general title information such as title names, chapter names and genres. (However, the information for a DVD-R/RW recorded by another device cannot be displayed or changed. The information on a finalized DVD-R/RW can be displayed but cannot be changed.)

Checking the library using a PC

This feature displays and sorts the recorder‘s “Library” information. It searches for a DVD-RAM which has empty space or desired disc by using stored information for each title such as disc number, recorded time and date, title name, and genre.

Saving the DVD-Video menu background from a PC

This feature allows you to save your favorite image from a PC to the recorder and use it as the menu background.

Setting a timer recording using email

This feature allows you to remotely set a timer recording using email.

Operating the recorder from a PC

This feature allows operation of the recorder from a PC.

Flow of Network Navi setting

What is Network Navi? (Continued)

• Any fees charged by an ISP including, without limitation, connection charges and email charges are your responsibility.

• If the broadband internet connection device (such as a Cable Modem or ADSL modem) specified by your ISP does not have a 10Base-T or 100 Base-TX LAN port, you will not be able to make a connection to the recorder.

• An ADSL modem is required to use ADSL service and a cable modem is required to use cable modem service. Depending on the access method of and subscriber agreement with your ISP, you may not be able to use the Network Navi features contained in this recorder or you may be limited to the number of devices you can connect at the same time.

• The use of a “Router” may not be allowed or its usage may be limited depending on the policies and restrictions of your ISP. For details, contact your SP directly.

• For “Timer recording setting using email” or "Timer recording setting by cell phone email," a separate email account is required that is connectable from your home, and compatible with POP3 or APOP. An email account that is not accessible from home, such as a cell phone email address, cannot be used in connection with this recorder and the aforementioned Network Navi features.

• An always-on broadband internet connection is necessary for the recorder to access the ISP's mail server via the same network. It is not necessary for a connected PC to be powered on for the recorder to be able to connect to the mail server.

• In some cases, a connected PC may be set to automatically receive email from a mail server and delete such email on the server at the time of its receipt, in which case, it is possible that a timer recording set via email may be deleted before the recorder receives it. In such case, it is recommended that you make the appropriate setting changes so that a copy of each incoming email remains on the server.

• To set a timer recording by email using a cellphone, use internet email. Email systems between cellphones, such as text messaging services, cannot be used to set a timer recording on the recorder.

• A webmail or web portal (incompatible with POP3) cannot be used to set a timer recording by email.

• Use a category 5, 10 Base-T/100 Base-TX LAN cable when connecting to a PC with a broadband always-on internet connection. Use the included crossover cable when connecting the recorder directly to a PC.

• Depending on the security software installed on a connected PC and the settings of such software, certain features contained in this recorder may not be usable.

Note: Toshiba is not responsible for any malfunction of the recorder and/or the Network Navi features due to communication errors/malfunctions associated with your broadband internet connection and/or your PC, or other connected equipment. In the event that any content intended to be recorded fails to be recorded and/or any content intended to be edited fails to be edited due to any of the aforementioned reasons, please contact your ISP and/or PC manufacturer.
