XBR413 Overview (Continued)

About DVD-R and DVD-RW disc

How are DVD-R and DVD-RW discs different?

The essential difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW is that DVD-R is a record-once medium, while DVD-RW is a re-recordable/erasable medium. You can re-record/ erase a DVD-RW disc approximately 1,000 times.

Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD player?

Generally, DVD-R discs and DVD-RW discs recorded in Video mode are playable in a regular DVD player, but they must be ‘finalized’ first. This process fixes the contents of the disc to make them readable to other DVD players as DVD-Video discs.

DVD-RW discs recorded in VR (Video Recording) mode are playable in some players.

This indicates a product feature that is capable of playing DVD-RW discs recorded with Video Recording (VR) format.

What are ‘Recording modes’?

There are two recording modes available using this recorder: VR mode and Video mode. When recording to a DVD-R disc, recordings are always in Video mode. DVD-RW discs can be formatted for VR mode recording or Video mode recording.

VR mode recording

3 different picture quality/recording time settings available (SP, LP, XP)

Not playable on regular DVD players

Recordings can be extensively edited

Video mode recording

3 different picture quality/recording time settings available (SP, LP, XP)

Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)

Limited editing features

Many functions of this recorder are dependent on the recording mode. One or more of the symbols

( Video , VR ) appears by each function explained in this manual so that you can see at a glance whether it’s relevant for the disc loaded.

You can find more information on disc formats and recording modes on next page.

ote

DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for recording on DVD-R/RW discs that was approved by the DVD Forum in 2000. You may therefore experience problems playing recordable DVD discs in some players. Symptoms include video artifacts, audio and/or video dropouts and playback suddenly stopping.

Our company cannot take responsibility for problems playing discs recorded on this VCR/DVD Recorder in other players.

Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?

No. When you edit a video tape you need one video

 

deck to play the original tape and another to record the

 

edits. With DVD, you edit by making a ‘Playlist’ of what

INTRODUCTION

to play and when to play it. On playback, the VCR/DVD

 

Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.

About DVD recording

otes

This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or CD-RW discs.

Our company takes no responsibility for recording failure due to power cuts, defective discs, or damage to the recorder.

Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect playback and/or recording performance. Please take proper care of your discs.

Disc types and recording formats, modes, and settings

This recorder can play three different kinds of DVD disc: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW and DVD-R discs. The disc format for DVD-R discs is always “Video format”—the same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD-R in a regular DVD player.

The recording mode is closely related to the disc format. If the disc format is Video Recording format, then the recording mode is VR mode; if the disc format is Video mode, then the recording mode is Video mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not recordable, and so does not have a recording mode).

Within the recording modes (which are fixed for the whole disc) are the record settings. These can be changed as required for each recording and determine the picture quality and how much space the recording will take up on the disc.

XBR413 Overview (Continued)

Notes for recording

The recording times shown are not exact because the VCR/DVD Recorder uses variable bit-rate video compression. This means that the exact recording time will depend on the material being recorded.

When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception is poor or the picture contains interference, the recording times may be shorter.

If you record still pictures or audio only, the recording time may be longer.

The displayed times for recording and time remaining may not always add up to exactly the length of the disc.

The recording time available may decrease if you heavily edit a disc.

If using a DVD-RW disc, make sure you change the recording format (Video mode or VR mode) before you record anything on the disc. See page 24 (DISC Initialize) for how to do this.

When using a DVD-R disc, you can keep recording until the disc is full, or until you finalize the disc. Before you start a recording session, check the amount of recording time left on the disc.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video mode, recording time available will only increase if you erase the last title recorded on the disc.

The Erase Title option in the Original (Title) menu only hides the title, it does not actually erase the title from the disc and increase the recording time available (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in Video mode).

Recording TV audio channels

This recorder can record one or two channel audio. For TV broadcasts, this usually means mono or stereo, but some programs are broadcast with a main and a SAP (Secondary Audio Program) audio channel.

If you’re recording in Video mode (or in VR mode), you can record either the main audio or the SAP audio.

Restrictions on video recording

You cannot record copy-protected video using this recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material is encountered during a recording, recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message will be displayed on-screen.

Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see below).

What is ‘CPRM’?

CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble system) only allowing the recording of ‘copy once’ broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media.

This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Copyright

Audio and video recordings you make using this recorder are for your personal use only. You may not sell, lend or rent them to other people.

Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.

When setting up the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The VCR/DVD Recorder is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn, the picture quality will be poor. Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.)

For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Remote Control Operation Range

Point the remote control at the remote sensor and press the buttons.

Distance: About 23 ft (7 m) from the front of the remote sensor.

Angle: About 30° in each direction of the front of the remote sensor.

Remote Control Battery Installation

Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control, and insert two R03

(size AAA) batteries with and aligned correctly.

Caution

Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.).

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case.

Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center outward.

Yes No

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.
