DVD CLEANING DISCS

• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre out. Do not wipe in a circular motion.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, detergent, abrasive cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analogue records.

DVD CLEANING THE DISC LENS

• If this unit still does not perform properly although you refer to the relevant sections and to “Troubleshooting” in this Owner’s Manual, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your dealer or an Authorized Service Centre for inspection and cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.

DVD DISC HANDLING

• Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not adhere to the surfaces of the discs.

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). 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 make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be played back on DVD players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Making discs playable in other DVD players (Finalise)

After recording, you must finalise the disc to play it back on other players. (See page 49.) You cannot finalise discs in other DVD recorders.

• For Video mode discs, the finalisation is required.

• For VR mode discs, the finalisation is recommended.

• For the information on videotapes, refer to “VCR Functions” on pages 89 to 91.

About HDD

HDD is a special component 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 or a videotape 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 or a videotape.

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 these symptoms of a failing HDD, promptly dub the data to a DVD disc or a videotape. 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 conformity with the information amount of video. 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.)

Note

• As to the Timer Programme in progress (which is shown in red in the Timer Programming List), you only can edit the end time. The changes made during recording will be recognised as only specific to that recording in progress and it will not affect the daily or the weekly recording setting.

PDC (Programme Delivery Control)

Programme Delivery Control (PDC) assures that the TV programmes you have programmed for timer recording are recorded exactly from beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to a delayed start or extension of the programme duration. Furthermore, if a programme is interrupted, the recording will also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the programme starts again.

If the PDC signal drops out because the broadcast signal is weak, or if a broadcasting station does not transmit a regular PDC signal, the timer recording is performed in normal mode (without PDC) even if it was programmed for PDC. If the starting time of the PDC timer recording is between 0:00 and 3:59 on a given day, the PDC function will operate from 20:00 on the previous day to 4:00 on the next day. If the starting time of the PDC timer recording is between 4:00 and 23:59 on a given day, the PDC function will operate from 0:00 on the given day to 4:00 on the next day. This means that if the relevant programme is broadcasted within this period, it is recorded correctly. If the timer is not programmed correctly, the incorrect timer setting stays in effect unless you cancel it. To cancel an incorrect timer setting, refer to “Editing the Timer Programming information” on the left.

Hints for Timer Recording

The priority of overlapped settings:

When the Timer Programmings are overlapped, you will receive a warning message. If this happens, check the Timer Programming List and change it as necessary. Otherwise, the unit will prioritize recording as described below.

If the starting time is same:

• The Timer Programming set first (PROG. 1) has priority.

PROG. 1

Satellite Link

You can set the unit to start recording whenever it detects the scart control signal from the external tuner.

• This feature is only available to HDD.

Preparing for the Satellite Link Timer Recording:

[Preparation of the external tuner]

• The external tuner should be equipped with some kind of timer function. Using timer function of the tuner, set it to be turned on when it comes to the time you want to start recording, and off when it comes to the time you want to finish recording. (Refer to the tuner’s manual on how to set the timer.)

• Make sure to turn off the external tuner when you finish setting.

[Preparation of this unit]

• Make sure to select the desired Recording mode beforehand.

Limitations (HDD to DVD):

• You cannot dub to the finalised Video mode DVDs.

• You cannot dub to the protected VR mode DVDs.

• If you try to dub copy-once programmes, you will be warned that the copy-once programmes cannot be copied but only be moved.

What are Original List and Playlist?

There are 2 types for the title list: Original List and Playlist.

Original List:

Original List is the list of the recorded programmes (titles) which are created automatically when they are recorded. Original List is available for HDD, DVD-RW and DVD-R. Please note that editing the titles in the Original List is like editing the original data. For example, if you erase a title in the Original List, the title cannot be recovered. So, please be careful when you work in the Original List.

Playlist:

Playlist is the copy of the Original List. You can edit the titles in the Playlist as you like without affecting the original data in the Original List. It works like a back up for the Original List. Delete a title from the Playlist does not delete the corresponding title in the Original List. But delete a title from the Original List, the corresponding title in the Playlist will be deleted. With HDD and VR mode DVD-RW, the Playlist is created automatically. Playlist is available only for the HDD and the VR mode DVDs. There is no Playlist for the Video mode DVDs.
