About the 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 remote sensor. Angle: About 30° in each direction of the front of the remote sensor. Battery installation Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control, and insert two (R03/AAA) size batteries with 3 and # aligned correctly. Do not mix old and new batteries and never mix different types of batteries such as standard, alkaline, etc. VCD (Video CD) A VCD 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. INTRODUCTION HOOKUP DVD +R (Double Layer) Double layer recording technology offers two recordable 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. Chapter (DVD video discs only) A chapter 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, chapters may not be recorded. PLAYBACK DVD-RAM ???? Title (DVD video discs only) A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc. For example the main feature could be title 1, a documentary 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. Scene (VCD) On a video CD with PBC (playback control) functions, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections 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 composed of one or several tracks. RECORDING 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 recordable discs. PBC: Playback Control (Video CD only) Playback control is available for Video CD (VCD) version 2.0 disc formats. PBC allows you to interact with the system via menus, search functions, or other typical 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. Track A distinct 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. EDITING Disc-related terms WMA Windows media audio file. A type of coding / decoding developed by Microsoft Corp. REFERENCE 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. 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) • A WMA 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 player 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. DirectCD) it is impossible to playback MP3 / WMA files. We recommend that you use Easy-CD Creator, which creates an ISO 9660 file system. 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 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 or WMA files) and these require certain pre-existing conditions (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 onscreen 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 different 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 display. • 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 supports 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. 10 Compatible with: FAT 12, FAT 16, or FAT 32 Only use the memory cards recommended above.

EDITING Select PLAYBACK Empty Title --/-0:6:06 50 T 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 example, 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 VR 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 exactly 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.
