Disc-related terms
DVD ±R / DVD ±RW
DVD -R and DVD +R are two different standards for
recordable DVD drives and discs. This format allows
information to be recorded onto the DVD disc only
once. DVD +RW and DVD -RW are two standards for
re-writable media, meaning the DVD content can be
erased and re-recorded. Single-sided discs can hold
4.38 Gigabytes and double-sided discs hold twice as
much. 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 nearly
double the capacity of 4.7GB single layer DVDs. The
greatest, most valuable benefit of double layer
recording technology is increased capacity. Storage
space is nearly doubled with double layer DVD+R
media, allowing consumers to burn up to 8.5GB of
video on a single DVD+R disc.
VCD (Video CD)
AVCD holds up to 74 minutes (650 MB disc) or 80
minutes (700 MB disc) of MPEG-1 full-motion video
along with quality stereo sound.
MPEG
MPEG is an international standard for video and
audio compression. MPEG-1 is used in encoding
video for VCD and provides for multichannel surround
sound coding such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and
MPEG audio.
MP3
MP3 is a popular compression format used for digital
audio files that yields very high near-CD quality.
WMA
Windows media audio file. A type of coding / decod-
ing developed by Microsoft Corp.
JPEG
Joint Pictures Expert Group. JPEG is a compressed
file format that allows you to save images with no
limit on the number of colors.
DivX
DivX is the name of a revolutionary new video codec
which is based on the new MPEG-4 compression
standard for video.You will be able to play DivX
movies 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 with
the system via menus, search functions, or other typi-
cal computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures
of high resolution can be played if they are included
in 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 be
title 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each title
is assigned a reference number enabling you to
locate it easily.
Chapter (DVD video discs only)
Achapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in a
film or one interview in a series. Each chapter is
assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate
the 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 the
menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling
you to locate the scene you want. A scene is com-
posed of one or several tracks.
Track
Adistinct element of audiovisual information, such as
the 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 you
to locate the track you want. DVD discs allow one
track of video (with multiple angles) and several
tracks of audio.

Notes on MP3/WMA Recordings
About MP3
•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 VCR/DVD Recorder can not read an MP3
file 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 double
the 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 that
has a file extension other than “.mp3” /
“.wma”.
•CD-R physical format should be ISO 9660
•If you record MP3 / WMA files using software
that cannot create a file system (eg. Direct-
CD) it is impossible to playback MP3 / WMA
files. We recommend that you use Easy-CD
Creator, which creates an ISO 9660 file sys-
tem.
•The total number of files and folders on the
disc are free but the total number of files and
folders on the folder should be less than 999.
This VCR/DVD Recorder requires discs and record-
ings 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 or WMA
files) and these require certain pre-existing condi-
tions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.
Customers should note that permission is
required in order to download MP3 / WMA files
and music from the Internet. Our company has
no right to grant such permission. Permission
should always be sought from the copyright
owner.
Notes on MP3/WMA Recordings
•Depending upon the size and number of JPEG
files, it could take a long time for the DVD+VCR
to read the disc’s contents. If you don’t see an on-
screen display after several minutes, some of the
files may be too large — reduce the resolution of
the JPEG files to less than 5760 x 3840 pixels
and burn another disc.
•The total number of files and folders on the disc
should 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, please
rename them as “.jpg” file.
•File names without “.jpg” extension will not be
able to be read by this DVD+VCR. Even though
the files are shown as JPEG image files in
Windows Explorer.
DivX disc compatibility with this player is limited
as follows:
•Available resolution size of the DivX file is under
720x576 (W x H) pixel.
•The file name of the DivX subtitle is limited to
characters.
•If there is impossible code to express in the DivX
file, it may be displayed as " _ " mark on the dis-
play.
•If the number of the screen frame is over 30
frames per second, this unit may not operate
normally.
•If the video and audio structure of recorded
file is not interleaved, either video or audio is
outputted.
•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. It
is an encoding tool specified in MPEG4 standard. Some
MPEG4 encoders, like DivX or Xvid, have this option.
There are different levels of GMC encoding, usually
called 1-point, 2-point, or 3-point GMC.

Sample Freq. (Frequency)
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of han-
dling 96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice
is made, this unit automatically converts any 96 kHz
signals to 48 kHz so your system can decode them.
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96
kHz signals, select 96 kHz. When this choice is
made, this unit passes each type of signal through
without any further processing.
Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify
its capabilities.
DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s
soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presen-
tation possible, thanks to digital audio technology.
However, you may wish to compress the dynamic
range of the audio output (the difference between the
loudest sounds and the quietest ones). This allows
you to listen to a movie at a lower volume without los-
ing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.
Vocal
Set Vocal to ON only when a multi-channel karaoke
DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will
mix into normal stereo sound.
LOCK (Parental Control)

able for children to view. Many of these discs contain
parental control information that applies to the com-
plete disc or to certain scenes on the disc. Movies
and scenes are rated from 1 to 8, depending on the
area. DVD video discs may or may not respond to
the parental control setting if the Area code of the
disc is set wrongly. Some discs offer more suitable
scenes as an alternative. Ratings are area depend-
ent. The parental control feature allows you to block
access to scenes below the rating you input, thereby
preventing your children from being able to view
material you believe is unsuitable.
1. Select “Movie Rating” on the LOCK menu then
press B.
2. To access the Rating, Password and Area Code
features, you must input the 4-digit security code
you created.
If you have not yet entered a security code you
are prompted to do so. Input a 4-digit code and
press ENTER. Enter it again and press ENTER to
verify. If you make a mistake before pressing
ENTER, press CLEAR.
3. Select a rating from 1 to 8 using the v/Vbuttons.
1-8: Rating one (1) has the most restrictions and
rating eight (8) is the least restrictive.
No Limit : If you select unlock, parental control is
not active and the disc plays in full.
4. Press ENTER to confirm your rating selection,
then press SETUP to exit the menu.
5. Press OPEN/CLOSE (Z)to activate parental
control.
Note:
If you set a rating for the player, all disc scenes with the
same rating or lower are played. Higher rated scenes are
not played unless an alternate scene is available on the
disc. The alternative must have the same rating or a lower
one. If no suitable alternative is found, playback stops. You

What is DV?
Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a
DV-equipped camcorder to this recorder using a sin-
gle 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 (includ-
ing two DVD Recorders).
•It may not always be possible to control the con-
nected camcorder via the DV IN jack.
•Digital camcorders can usually record audio as
stereo 16-bit/48kHz, or twin stereo tracks of 12-
bit/32kHz. The VCR/DVD Recorder can only
record one stereo audio track. Set DV Record
Audio to Audio 1 or Audio 2 as necessary (see
page 26).
•Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or
48kHz (not 44.1kHz).
•Picture disturbance on the recording may occur if
the source component pauses playback or plays
an unrecorded section of tape, or if the power
fails in the source component, or the DV cable
becomes disconnected.
•If DV Record Audio is set to Audio 2, but no Audio
2 signal is present, DV Record Audio will be reset
to Audio 1 automatically.
DV-Related Messages
You may see the following messages appear on your
TV screen when using the DV IN jack.
Not connected to Camcorder.
The camcorder is not connected properly, or the cam-
corder is switched off.
Too many devices connected.
The DV jack on this recorder supports connection to
just one camcorder.
Check the tape.
There is no cassette loaded into the connected
equipment.
Uncontrollable device.
The VCR/DVD Recorder cannot control the cam-
corder.
Updating the Information.
Camcorder is updating information for DV.
Camera mode.
Camcorder is set to camera mode.
Troubleshooting
If you cannot get a picture and/or audio through the
DV IN jack, check the following:
•Make sure the DV cable is properly connected.
•Try switching off the connected equipment, then
switch it back on.
•Try switching the audio input.
Notes:
•Depending on the connected camcorder, you may
not be able to control it using the Remote Control
supplied with this VCR/DVD Recorder.
•Before you set the mode of your Camcorder to
camera mode, turn down the volume of connect-
ed Sound device. There can be a howling sound.

Title and Chapter Editing
itle and Chapter Editing
Edits you make to the Original content changes the
actual content of the disc. For example, if you delete
a title or chapter from the Original content (Title or
Chapter), that title or chapter is deleted 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 exam-
ple, when you delete a title from the Playlist, you are
just telling the recorder not to play that title; nothing is
actually deleted from the disc.
Titles, Chapters and Parts
Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or
more chapters. When you insert a title into the
Playlist, all the chapters within that title also appear.
In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exact-
ly as chapters on a DVD-Video disc do. Parts are
sections of Original or Playlist titles. From the Original
and Playlist menu you can add or delete parts.
Adding a chapter or title to the Playlist creates a new
title made up of a section (ie., chapter) of an Original
title. Deleting a part removes part of a title from the
Original or Playlist menu.
Caution
•When editing using the Delete, 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.
Adding Chapter Markers
You can put a chapter marker anywhere in a title dur-
ing recording or playback.
Once the chapter is marked, you can use the
Chapter Search feature, as well as Erase, combine
and move chapters in the Chapter List menu.
1Play the title (Original or Playlist).
2At the point you want to start a new chapter,
press CHP ADD.
Achapter marker icon appears on the TV screen.
Notes:
•Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals auto-
matically. You can change this interval from the Initial
Setup menu (see Auto Chapter on page 26).
•You can also put chapter markers during recording.
Changing Title Thumbnails
Each title displayed in the Title List menu is repre-
sented by a thumbnail picture taken from the start of
that title or chapter.
If you prefer, select a different still picture from within
a title.
1Play the title (Original or Playlist).
2Press THUMBNAIL to make the currently dis-
played picture the one that appears in the Original
or Playlist menu.
The still picture that you choose appears in both
the Original or Playlist menu.
Tip:
You can also change the thumbnail picture of the title on the
Chapter List-Original or Chapter List-Playlist menu. Select a
chapter on the Chapter List-Original or Chapter List-Playlist
menu then press THUMBNAIL. The thumbnail picture of the
title that includes the chapter is changed.
