Optimises the overall bit rate for recording. Scenes with rapid movement are recorded with high bit rates, while
scenes with slow movement are recorded with low bit rates, thereby resulting in better picture quality.
*5 Auto Blank-Cut Dubbing
When dubbing from VHS, if there are blanks of more than 2 seconds on the VHS tape, the HDD/DVD will enter
into pause mode. Dubbing will resume once recorded part is detected. This prevents useless recordings.
*6 Auto Title Creation Dubbing
When dubbing from the VHS tape, if there are multiple index signals (VISS signals) within a tape, a title
(programme) per VISS signal will be automatically created on the HDD/DVD. During that time, dubbing will stop
temporarily.

Can I record simultaneously on the HDD and DVD?

Can I replace the HDD on my own?
No. This unit’s HDD contains software required for operations,
and will not function if replaced with a commercially available
HDD.
My television is not equipped with video inputs, is
there other methods of connection?
Use an RF converter sold separately. For details on connection,
refer to the instruction manual of the RF converter.

No. This unit is equipped with only one tuner. It is not possible
to record simultaneously on two or more decks.
If I record to full capacity on the disc, will the old
recordings be erased?
It will not be erased. Recording will stop.
Can I switch the channel while recording is paused?
Yes, on the DVD deck. However, it is not possible to switch to
DV input. Switching is not possible during DV input recording.

Can I watch programmes via the external receiver even
though the unit is not on?
Yes, this unit outputs signals from the [L-2 IN/DECODER]
terminal to the [L-1 IN/OUT] terminal even if it is off. See
AInput/Output SettingB [ P29]
However, this function is not available during programme
listing data downloading. In such cases, it is recommended
that the external receiver be connected directly to the TV.

When recording movies and other bilingual programmes, the
use of DVD-RAM or DVD-RW (VR mode) discs is
recommended.
While recording on the VHS, the channel cannot be
changed even if I switch to the DVD or HDD.
As the VHS and DVD/HDD share the same tuner on this unit,
the channel cannot be changed while recording is in progress
even if you switch the deck.

Glossary
Digital signals of compressed sounds or images.

Chapter

A unit for segments of music and images in the titles of DVD Videos, etc. It can be freely
created for programmes recorded using this unit. (For DVD-RAM and DVD-RW (VR) discs.)

Decoder

A device that reverts compressed signals of sounds and images to their original signals.

Dolby Digital

A compression process system for audio signals. A standard system for 5.1-channel
surround on DVD Videos.

DTS

An abbreviation for Digital Theater Systems, a sound compression format used on DVD
Videos. With higher sound quality as compared to Dolby Digital.

Encoding

The compressing and digitalising of sounds and images. Re-encoding refers to using another
system or compression rate to re-digitalise signals that were uncompressed.

Finalising

A writing process of disc information such that the programmes recorded on the DVD-R
and DVD-RW discs can be played back on other players.

Intelligent Dual-Pass Encoding

Optimises the overall bit rate for recording. Scenes with rapid movement are recorded with
high bit rates, while scenes with slow movement are recorded with low bit rates, thereby
resulting in better picture quality.

JPEG

An abbreviation of Joint Photographic Experts Group, an international standard for
compressed still image data files. The data of the 3 primary colours (RGB) is compressed
from a ratio of 10:1 to 100:1.

Letterbox

A method of displaying a wide image (16:9) on a TV with aspect ratio of 4:3 in full screen,
by adding a black band at the top and bottom.

Linear PCM

A format that digitalises audio signals without compression.

MP3

An abbreviation of MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3, an international standard for compressed audio
data files. While minimising the deterioration of sound quality, the audio data of an audio
CD is compressed to a ratio of 10:1.

MPEG

Pronounced as EHM-pehg, an abbreviation of Moving Picture Experts Group, an
international standard for video and sound compression.

Pan & Scan

A method of displaying a wide image (16:9) on a TV with aspect ratio of 4:3 in full screen,
by cropping off the left and right of the image.

PBC

An abbreviation of Playback Control. A mechanism that controls the playback of data
recorded with Video CD (Ver.2.0). Includes a software with interactive and search function
using a menu screen.

Post-recording

Refers to the adding of narration or background music (BGM) to the sound after recording it
with the camera.

Progressive scan mode

For conventional TV broadcast video signals, a picture is presented by displaying the
vertical resolution of 525 scanning lines alternately in halves. This system is known as
interlace. The system that displays all the scanning lines at one time is known as progressive
scan, and this mode enables high image quality playback of DVD Video movie softwares.

Region number

A number that restricts DVD Video playback. The world is divided into 6 regions
distinguished by numbers, and playback is not possible if the number of the player and the
disc do not match.

S-Video terminal

A type of video terminal that connects the unit and the peripheral devices. Achieves high
image quality as the luminance signal and chrominance signal are connected separately.

Thumbnails

Reduced-size version of pictures, for making segments of pictures, programmes or scenes
easily recognisable.

Title

A unit for recorded image of images that can be selected using the main image or menu
screen of DVD Videos, etc. Programmes recorded using this unit are also known as titles.

Track

A unit for segments of music, images, etc. in audio CDs, Video CDs, and Super Video CDs.

Video mode

A recording system for DVD-R and DVD-RW discs, which is compatible with DVD Video
discs.

VR mode

An abbreviation of Video Recording Mode. A form of recording system for discs including
DVD-RW, it is possible to edit, erase or rewrite.
