Information on DVD recording

Type of discs

This unit can record on DVD-R and DVD-RW. You can

record on DVD-R only once. On DVD-RW, you can

record and erase many times.

It is possible to record on DVD-R only in Video mode.

DVD-RW can record in the format you select from

Video mode or VR mode.

If you want to record repeatedly on the same disc, or if

you want to edit the disc after recording, use a

rewritable DVD-RW type disc.

If you want to save recordings without any alteration,

use a non-rewritable DVD-R type disc.

• Discs that should or should not be used with this

recorder:

DVD-R 8x can be used.

DVD-RW 4x can be used, but 6x or 8x will result in a

recording error.

• Discs that were tested and proven as compatible

with this recorder:

Maxell DVD-R, TDK DVD-RW 2x, MITSUBISHI

DVD-R 8x, JVC DVD-RW 4x

Video mode and VR (Video Recording) mode

Video mode is the same recording format as used on

the pre-recorded DVD-Videos you purchase in local

shops, so you can play back the discs recorded in this

format in most DVD players. You will need to finalise

such discs (see page 34) before playing them back in

other DVD players. Unless finalised, you can play

back, 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. You can record and edit

material repeatedly. It is impossible to record

additional materials on a disc formatted in VR mode

and already recorded in another video system other

than PAL, such as NTSC.

Note

• The following disc cannot be used for recording in

this unit:

DVD-RW 6x

Recording speed

You can select a recording speed from 6 options.

The recording time will vary depending on the

recording speed you select as follows.

• This table is intended for a standard new single-

sided 12 cm disc. The recording times are estimates

and actual recording time may differ.

• The audio and video quality becomes poorer as the

recording time gets longer.

• Discs recorded in 8H or 10H on this recorder may

not be played back on other DVD recorders or DVD

players.

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 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 wish to record them, refer to the

following.

Note

• This unit cannot record on CD-RW or CD-R discs.

• 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 player’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.

• It is not possible to use a DVD-RW disc formatted

with this unit in another DVD recorder unless the

content of the disc was also recorded with this unit.

• 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 34.)

You cannot finalise discs in other DVD recorders.

After finalising:

• After a DVD-RW / R disc (Video mode) is finalised, a

title menu is created automatically and additional

recording or editing is not possible.

• Even if after a DVD-RW disc (VR mode) is finalised,

additional recording or editing is possible.

• To play back in other DVD players, finalise discs

recorded on this unit.

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 given 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 day to 4:00 on the given 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 page 29.

Hints for timer recording

• If there is a power failure or the unit is unplugged for

more than 30 seconds, the clock setting and all

timer settings will be lost.

• If there is no disc or an unrecordable disc in the tray,

the DVD indicator will flash and timer recording will

not occur. Insert a recordable disc.

• If there is no tape or a tape with a record tab is not in

the cassette compartment, the VCR indicator on the

front panel flashes and timer recording cannot be

performed. Please insert a recordable tape.

• When all timer recordings are complete, the

icon flashes. To play back or eject the recorded disc,

press [T-SET], and then press [PLAY P] or

[OPEN / CLOSE / EJECT O].

Recording

• The timer recording cannot be performed in DVD

and VCR at the same time. If you set two

programmings with the same channel and time both

in DVD and VCR, the programming that has priority

will be recorded.

• You cannot make any DVD operation during DVD

timer recording.

• You cannot make any VCR operation during VCR

timer recording.

• If the Start and End times are same, the length of

the recording will be set for 24 hours. If the disc

becomes full during recording, the unit will turn itself

off. To continue recording, press [T-SET] to cancel

the timer stand-by mode, insert a recordable disc

and press [T-SET] again.

• If two or more programmes overlap, “Overlap” and

the overlapped programme number will appear on

the display.

• If the Start time is earlier and the End time is later

than the current time, the recording will start

immediately after you press [T-SET].

• If a videotape ends during timer recording, the unit

will automatically stop, eject the videotape, and turn

itself off. To continue recording, insert a recordable

tape.

Priority of overlapped settings

The unit records programmes according to priority if

timer programmes overlap.

If the starting time is same:

• The timer programming set first (PROG. 1) has

priority.

If programming has been made at the end of the

programming (PROG. 1) currently being recorded:

• The timer programming set first (PROG. 2) has

priority. PROG. 3 will not be recorded.

If the recording time is partially overlapped:

• The timer programming with the earlier start time

(PROG. 2) has priority. PROG. 1 will start after

PROG. 2 recording is complete.

If the recording time entirely overlaps:

• The shorter timer programming (PROG. 1) is not

recorded.

Note for DVD recording

• If the recording time of two programmes overlap, or

the End time of a programme and the Start time of

another is same, the first 30 seconds (at the most)

of the subsequent programme are cut off.

If the End time of the programme currently being

recorded and the Start time of the subsequent

programme are same:

• If PROG. 1 is a DVD recorded programme, the

beginning of PROG. 2 may be cut off.

* If the cut off time exceeds 1 minute, the error

number “E40” will appear in the timer programming

list.

Playing back discs

Information on playing back

DVDs

Read the following information before you play back a

DVD.

Playable discs

You can play back all the discs listed below in this unit.

Before attempting to play back a DVD, make sure it

meets the requirements for Region Codes and Colour

Systems as described in this section. Discs that bear

any of the logos shown below will be played back

correctly in this unit. Other Disc types are not

guaranteed to be played back.

* There may be a disc which cannot be used or played

back.

Colour systems

DVDs are recorded using different colour systems

throughout the world. The most common colour

system, used primarily in the U.K. and other EU

countries, is PAL.

This unit uses the PAL system. However, it is also

possible to play back DVDs using other colour

systems, such as NTSC.

Region codes

This unit has been designed to play back DVDs within

Region Two (2). It is only possible to play back DVDs

in this unit that are labelled for Region 2 or for ALL

regions. You cannot play back DVDs that are labelled

for other regions. Look for DVDs that bear either of the

symbols shown below. If these region symbols do not

appear on your DVD, you cannot play back the DVD in

this unit.

The number inside the globe refers to region of the

world.

A DVD labelled for a specific region can only be

played back in the unit with the same region code.

Hint for DVD playback

The contents of a DVD are generally divided into

titles. Titles are sometimes further subdivided into

chapters.

Glossary

Analogue audio

An electrical signal that directly

represents sound. In contrast,

digital audio can also be an

electrical signal, but is an indirect

representation of sound. See also

Digital audio.

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relative to

its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3

(i.e., the screen is almost square).

widescreen models are 16:9 (the

screen is almost twice as wide as its

height).

Chapter

Just as a book is split up into

several chapters, a title on a DVD

disc is usually divided into chapters.
