Compatibility

DVD

Playing back discs recorded in Video mode on any regular DVD player [

Discs recorded in Video mode can be played back on 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.

• DVD-RW / R discs, DVD+RW / R discs 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 unit’s lens.

• If you record on a disc using a personal computer,

there are cases in which it may not be played back because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc, even if it is recorded in a compatible format. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

• Discs recorded in Video mode on this unit cannot

record additionally using other DVD recorders.

• Since the recording is made by the variable bit rate

(VBR) method, the actual remaining time for recording may be a little bit shorter than the remaining time displayed on the OSD, depending on the picture you are recording.

• DVD-RW once formatted with other DVD recorders

cannot be recorded on this unit and vice versa.

• The maximum Fast Dubbing speed is up to 4x for

DVD-RW discs and DVD-R discs.

• During Fast Dubbing, the noise from the unit

becomes louder. This is not a malfunction.

Restrictions on Recording

You cannot record copy-protected video or a programme broadcasted in the NTSC colour system using this unit. Copy-protected video includes DVDVideos and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material or NTSC signal 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.

Maximum recordable numbers of title / chapters: HDD: 600 titles per each Playlist and

Original 99 chapters per title

VR mode DVD: 99 titles per each Playlist and

Original 999 chapters per each Playlist and Original

Video mode DVD: 99 titles per disc

99 chapters per title

+VR mode DVD: 49 titles per discs

Making Discs Playable in Other DVD Players (Finalise)

After recording, you must finalise the disc to play it back on other players. (See page 57.) 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 +VR mode discs, the finalisation is recommended.

• For the information on videotapes, refer to “VCR Functions” on pages 100 to 102.

Note

• Remaining time of +VR mode disc may decrease when adding chapter marks or increase when clearing chapter marks depending on the recording time or edited contents.

• For +VR mode disc, it is not likely to be able to add chapter marks up to the maximum recordable numbers of chapters, according to time and number of chapters.

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 or a videotape to protect your previous 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.)

VPS/PDC

VPS (Video Programme System) / PDC (Programme Delivery Control)

The Video Programme System (VPS) or 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 VPS / PDC signal drops out because the broadcast signal is weak, or if a broadcasting station does not transmit a regular VPS / PDC signal, the Timer Recording is performed in normal mode (without VPS / PDC) even if it was programmed for VPS / PDC. If the starting time of the VPS / PDC Timer Recording is between 0:00 and 3:59 on a given day, the VPS / PDC function will operate from 20:00 on the previous day to 4:00 on the next day. If the starting time of the VPS / PDC Timer Recording is between 4:00 and 23:59 on a given day, the VPS / 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 this page.

What Are Original and Playlist?

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

Original:

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

: Available to edit in the HDD Original

Playlist:

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

About Edit Mark:

Edit marks will be added automatically where title is edited, for example where a title is divided or combined. These marks work as chapter marks when you search for a chapter, but cannot be deleted like chapter marks. Also, when a title with chapter marks are dubbed from DVD to the HDD, those marks become edit marks once they are dubbed to the HDD.

Deleting Titles

Be advised that the titles once deleted cannot be recovered. With DVD-R / +R discs, deleting titles will not affect the recordable disc space. With Video mode DVD-RW discs, the disc space will increase only when the last title in the Original is deleted. If you delete the title in DVD+RW disc, deleted title will be displayed as “Empty Title”. The disc space will increase if you delete all title from the Empty Title to the newest title memorised in the Title list. With HDD and VR mode DVD-RW discs, the disc space will increase when any title in the Original is deleted. Deleting a Playlist will not increase the recordable disc space. Deleting a title in the Playlist will not delete the corresponding title in the Original.
