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.

• 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 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 three input terminals which can be selected using [INPUT SELECT F] on the remote control, AV1 or AV2 on the rear panel and AV3 on the front panel. Be sure that all the units are switched off before making connections.

Information on DVD Recording

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 59) 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.

Recording Mode

You can select a recording mode from 5 options. The recording time will vary depending on the recording mode you select as follows.

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.

• 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 59.) 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 59.)

- Additional recording or editing is possible if you

undo finalise. (See page 59.)

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

- A Title menu is not created.

- Undo finalising is possible. (See page 59.)

- Additional recording or editing is possible if you

undo finalise. (See page 59.)

• After DVD+RW discs are finalised:

- A Title menu is created automatically.

- Undo finalising is possible. (See page 59.)

- 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 these 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 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.)

Maximum Recordable Numbers of Title / Chapters

HDD:

600 Original titles 600 Playlists 99 chapters per Original/Playlist 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 254 chapters per disc 99 chapters per 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.

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 “Checking, Cancelling or Correcting the Timer Programming Information” on this page.

Note

• This feature is only available for analogue channels.

Recording Mode for Dubbing

“High”

This unit is compatible with the high speed dubbing from HDD to DVD or VR mode DVD-RW disc to HDD. With the high speed dubbing, you can dub a title much faster than the normal speed dubbing without changing the quality of the picture and sound. (e.g. If you dub a title recorded in SLP mode to DVD-R or DVD+R, dubbing speed will be 32 times faster than the normal dubbing speed.) To perform the high speed dubbing, set the recording mode to “High”.

• Duration of high speed dubbing will vary depending on the recording mode or the title amount.

• High speed dubbing is not available when;

- recording mode is set to other than “High”.

- dubbing from a video mode DVD-RW/-R or

DVD+RW/+R disc to the HDD.

- there is not enough space in the disc.

- dubbing a title recorded in EP or SLP mode to

DVD+RW / +R discs.

• High speed dubbing of an HDD title which has bilingual audio is only available to VR mode DVD - RW d isc .

“Auto”

When “Auto” is selected as a recording mode, the unit calculates how much time is available on the disc and selects the best recording mode available automatically.

• The recording may be cut short when the available recording space of the disc is too limited.

Note

• During normal dubbing, you can watch the playback picture of the title being dubbed (the audio cannot be changed). During high speed dubbing, the playback picture will not appear.

• When you dub an HDD title that has bilingual audio to Video mode DVD-RW / -R or DVD+RW / +R disc, select an appropriate audio format in the “Bilingual Recording Audio” menu. Refer to “Setting Bilingual Recording Audio” on page 42.

• In order to dub a DVD recorded with the NTSC, set the “TV System” to “PAL”. Refer to “ on page 88.

• If you stop the dubbing halfway, the contents will be dubbed up to where you stop the dubbing (except for the high speed dubbing). With high speed dubbing, nothing will be dubbed if you stop it halfway.

• To stop the dubbing in progress, press [C STOP] on the front panel or press [STOP C] for 2 seconds on

the remote control. If you stop the high speed dubbing or stop the dubbing copy-once programmes, confirmation message appears. Select “Yes” using [U \ D], then press [ENTER] to proceed.

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.

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.

Note

• A Playlist is not available for DVD-R or Video mode DVD-RW and DVD+RW/+R discs.

• It is not possible to edit a disc recorded in another video system other than PAL, such as NTSC.

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