otes
– Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD-R/-RW) disc itself,
some CD-R/RW (or DVD-R/-RW) discs cannot be
played on the unit.
– Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the
labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.
– Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped
or octagonal). Doing so may result in malfunctions.
Regional code of the VCR/DVD Recorder and DVDs
This VCR/DVD Recorder is designed and manufactured for playback of Region 1 encoded DVD
software. The region code on the labels of some
DVD discs indicates which type of VCR/DVD
Recorder can play those discs. This unit can play only
DVD discs labeled 1 or ALL. If you try to play any other
discs, the message “Incorrect region code. Can’t playback” will appear on the TV screen. Some DVD discs
may not have a region code label even though their playback is prohibited by area limits.
otes on DVDs and Video CDs
Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs
may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers.
As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to
disc content designed by the software manufacturer,
some playback features of the unit may not be available
or other functions may be added.
Refer also to the instructions supplied with the DVDs
and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business purposes may not be played on the unit.
Scene
On a video CD with PBC (Playback control) functions,
moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called “Scenes”. Each scene available is displayed
on the Scene menu and assigned a scene number,
enabling you to locate the scene you want.
A scene may be composed of one or several tracks.
Types of video CDs
There are two types of video CDs:
Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)
PBC (Playback control) functions allow you to interact
with the system via menus, search functions, or other
typical computer-like operations. Moreover, high resolution still pictures can be played if they are included on
the disc.
Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1)
Operated in the same way as audio CDs, these discs
allow playback of video pictures as well as sound, but
they are not equipped with PBC.
About DVD-R and DVD-RW disc
Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?
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.
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
to play and when to play it. On playback, the recorder
plays the disc according to the Playlist.
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.
About word ‘Original’ and ‘Playlist’
This indicates a product feature that is capable of playing DVD-RW discs recorded with
Video Recording 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

• 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 ) appear 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 recorder in other players.
Throughout this manual, you will often see the words
Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and
the edited version.
• Original: content refers to what’s actually recorded
on the disc.
• Playlist: content refers to the edited version of the
disc — how the Original content is to be played.
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.
By default, the DVD-RW disc format is Video Recording
format, though you can change this to Video format, if
required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase the contents
of the disc.)
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.

Notes for recording
Restrictions on video recording
• The recording times shown are not exact because the
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).
• 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).
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.
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.

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

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.

An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the
MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call
files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.
The recorder can not read an MP3 file that has a file
extension other than “.mp3”.
MP3 Disc compatibility with this recorder is
limited as follows:
1. CD-R/RW physical format should be “ISO 9660” and
“JOLIET”.
2. If you record MP3 files using the software which
cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “DirectCD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We
recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which
creates an ISO9660 or JOLIET file system.
3. Total number of files and folders on the disc should
be less than 1999.
This VCR/DVD Recorder requires discs/recordings to
meet certain technical standards in order to achieve
optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R
containing MP3 files) that require certain pre-existing
conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.
ips
If audio title and MP3 file are mixed on the disc, you
can switch between AUDIO CD menu and MP3 CD
menu by pressing TITLE repeatedly.

Notes on JPEG Recordings
Depending on the size and number of the JPEG files,
it could take a long time for the DVD player to read
the disc’s content. If you don’t see an on-screen display after several minutes, some of the files are too
big — reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less
than 4 mega pixels and burn another disc.
Total number of files and folders on the disc should
be less than 1999.
Some discs may be incompatible due to different
recording format or condition of the disc.
When you are using software such as “Easy CD
Creator” to burn jpeg files on a CD-R, ensure that all
the selected files have the “.jpg” extension before
copying into the CD layout.

• There are already 99 titles recorded on the disc.
You cannot enter a timer program when:
• A recording is already underway.
• The time you’re trying to set has already passed.
• There are already 8 timer programs set.
If two or more timer programs overlap:
• The earlier program takes priority.
• When the earlier program finishes, the later program
starts.
• If two programs are set to start at exactly the same
time, the program entered first takes priority.
Confirmation is not possible when:
• Disc Protect setting is set to ON.
• There are already 99 titles recorded on the disc.
If the disc is damaged, the recording may not complete
successfully. In this case even though the Check field
shows “Rec. OK”, it may not be.

What is DV?
DV-Related Messages
Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a
DV-equipped camcorder to this recorder using a single
DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data and
control signals.
The i.LINK interface is also known as IEEE 1394-1995.
“i.LINK” and the “i.LINK” logo are trademarks.
• This recorder is only compatible with DV-format
(DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and
Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible.
• You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at
a time to this recorder.
• You cannot control this recorder from external equipment connected via the DV IN jack (including two
DVD Recorders).
• It may not always be possible to control the connected camcorder via the DV IN jack.
• This recorder only outputs DVD video from the DV IN
jack; signals from the built-in TV tuner, CD, Video CD,
and other inputs cannot be output.
• Digital camcorders can usually record audio as stereo
16-bit/48kHz, or twin stereo tracks of 12-bit/32kHz.
This recorder can only record one stereo audio track.
Set DV Rec Audio to Audio 1 or Audio 2 as required
(see page 24).
• Audio output from the DV IN jack is 16-bit only.
• Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or 48kHz

RECORDING
Recording from an External Input (Continued)
VR Mode: Original and Playlist Editing
Edits you make to the Original content changes the
actual content of the disc. For example, if you erase a
title or chapter from the Original content, that title or
chapter is erased from the disc, freeing up extra recording time.
When you edit the Playlist, on the other hand, you are
not changing the content of the disc. For example,
when you erase a title from the Playlist (Program), you
are just telling the recorder not to play that title; nothing
is actually erased from the disc.
Titles and Chapters
VR
Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or more
chapters.
When you insert a Original title into the Playlist
(Program), all the chapters within that title also appear.
In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exactly
as chapters on a DVD disc.
Adding a title or chapter to the Playlist creates a new
title made up of chapters of an Original title. Erasing a
chapter removes chapter of a title from the Original or
Playlist (Program).
Caution
• When editing using the Erase, Add and Move functions, the start and end frames may not be exactly as
set in the start and end point display.
• During Playlist playback, you may notice a momentary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.
