9Disc-related termsDVD ±R / DVD ±RW DVD -R and DVD +R are two different standards forrecordable DVD drives and discs. This format allowsinformation to be recorded onto the DVD disc onlyonce. DVD +RW and DVD -RW are two standards forre-writable media, meaning the DVD content can beerased and re-recorded. Single-sided discs can hold4.38 Gigabytes and double-sided discs hold twice asmuch. There are no dual layer single sided record-able discs. DVD-RAM????DVD +R (Double Layer) Double layer recording technology offers two record-able layers on a single DVD disc, providing nearlydouble the capacity of 4.7GB single layer DVDs. Thegreatest, most valuable benefit of double layerrecording technology is increased capacity. Storagespace is nearly doubled with double layer DVD+Rmedia, allowing consumers to burn up to 8.5GB ofvideo on a single DVD+R disc.VCD (Video CD)AVCD holds up to 74 minutes (650 MB disc) or 80minutes (700 MB disc) of MPEG-1 full-motion videoalong with quality stereo sound.MPEGMPEG is an international standard for video andaudio compression. MPEG-1 is used in encodingvideo for VCD and provides for multichannel surroundsound coding such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS andMPEG audio.MP3MP3 is a popular compression format used for digitalaudio files that yields very high near-CD quality. WMAWindows media audio file. A type of coding / decod-ing developed by Microsoft Corp.JPEGJoint Pictures Expert Group. JPEG is a compressedfile format that allows you to save images with nolimit on the number of colors. DivXDivX is the name of a revolutionary new video codecwhich is based on the new MPEG-4 compressionstandard for video.You will be able to play DivXmovies using this recorder.PBC: Playback Control (Video CD only)Playback control is available for Video CD (VCD) ver-sion 2.0 disc formats. PBC allows you to interact withthe system via menus, search functions, or other typi-cal computer-like operations. Moreover, still picturesof high resolution can be played if they are includedin the disc. Video CDs not equipped with PBC(Version 1.1) operate in the same way as audio CDs.Title (DVD video discs only)Atitle is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc.For example the main feature could be title 1, a docu-mentary describing how the film was made could betitle 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each titleis assigned a reference number enabling you tolocate it easily.Chapter (DVD video discs only)Achapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in afilm or one interview in a series. Each chapter isassigned a chapter number, enabling you to locatethe chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chap-ters may not be recorded.Scene (VCD)On a video CD with PBC (playback control) functions,moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sec-tions called “scenes”. Each scene is displayed in themenu screen and assigned a scene number, enablingyou to locate the scene you want. A scene is com-posed of one or several tracks.Track Adistinct element of audiovisual information, such asthe picture or sound track for a specific language(DVD), or a musical piece on a video or audio CD.Each track is assigned a track number, enabling youto locate the track you want. DVD discs allow onetrack of video (with multiple angles) and severaltracks of audio.INTRODUCTIONHOOKUPPLAYBACKRECORDINGEDITINGREFERENCE

10Notes on MP3/WMA RecordingsAbout MP3•An MP3 file is audio data compressed byusing the MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-codingscheme. We call files that have the “.mp3” fileextension “MP3 files”.•The VCR/DVD Recorder can not read an MP3file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.About WMA (Window Media Audio)•AWMA file is made using Microsoft audio compression technology.•WMA (Windows Media Audio) offers doublethe audio compression of the MP3 format.MP3 / WMA disc compatibility with this play-er is limited as follows:•The player cannot read an MP3/WMA file thathas a file extension other than “.mp3” /“.wma”.•CD-R physical format should be ISO 9660•If you record MP3 / WMA files using softwarethat cannot create a file system (eg. Direct-CD) it is impossible to playback MP3 / WMAfiles. We recommend that you use Easy-CDCreator, which creates an ISO 9660 file sys-tem.•The total number of files and folders on thedisc are free but the total number of files andfolders on the folder should be less than 999.This VCR/DVD Recorder requires discs and record-ings to meet certain technical standards in order toachieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recordedDVDs are automatically set to these standards.There are many different types of recordable discformats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMAfiles) and these require certain pre-existing condi-tions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.Customers should note that permission isrequired in order to download MP3 / WMA filesand music from the Internet. Our company hasno right to grant such permission. Permissionshould always be sought from the copyrightowner.Notes on MP3/WMA Recordings•Depending upon the size and number of JPEGfiles, it could take a long time for the DVD+VCRto read the disc’s contents. If you don’t see an on-screen display after several minutes, some of thefiles may be too large — reduce the resolution ofthe JPEG files to less than 5760 x 3840 pixelsand burn another disc.•The total number of files and folders on the discshould be less than 1500.•Some discs may be incompatible due to a differ-ent recording format or the condition of disc.•Ensure that all the selected files have the “.jpg”extensions when copying into the CD layout.•If the files have “.jpe” or “.jpeg” extensions, pleaserename them as “.jpg” file.•File names without “.jpg” extension will not beable to be read by this DVD+VCR. Even thoughthe files are shown as JPEG image files inWindows Explorer.DivX disc compatibility with this player is limitedas follows:•Available resolution size of the DivX file is under720x576 (W x H) pixel.•The file name of the DivX subtitle is limited tocharacters. •If there is impossible code to express in the DivXfile, it may be displayed as " _ " mark on the dis-play. •If the number of the screen frame is over 30frames per second, this unit may not operatenormally.•If the video and audio structure of recordedfile is not interleaved, either video or audio isoutputted. •If the file is recorded with GMC, the unit sup-ports only 1-point of the record level.* GMC?GMC is the acronym for Global Motion Compensation. Itis an encoding tool specified in MPEG4 standard. SomeMPEG4 encoders, like DivX or Xvid, have this option.There are different levels of GMC encoding, usuallycalled 1-point, 2-point, or 3-point GMC.
