EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER THE
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the DVD/VCR if the unit is brought from cool surroundings into a warm
room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, the DVD/VCR’s performance will be
impaired.
To prevent this, let the DVD/VCR stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make
sure that the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the DVD/VCR is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner.
In such cases, change the location of the DVD/VCR.
26. DISC
Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc. These discs are easily broken and may cause serious
personal injury and product malfunction.
27. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected
to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Disc
Discs on which video can be re-
corded
To record video with this unit, use the below discs.
Recording format
This unit has two modes for formatting discs for record-
ing: VR mode and video mode.
When an unused DVD-RW (Ver.1.1) is loaded into this
unit, the automatic initialization function starts to initial-
ize the disc. (For the disc format setting in this step, see
page 73.)
VR mode
• This mode can be used for DVD-RWs.
• In this mode, the discs can be recorded and edited
repeatedly.
• The disc recorded in this mode can be played back
on other DVD-RW-supporting players.
• When a Ver.1.1 CPRM disc is used, you can record a
TV program “One-time recordable”.
Video mode
• This mode can be used for DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs
(Ver.1.1).
• When you finalize the disc after recording, the disc
recorded with this unit can be played back in other
DVD players.
• Recording, editing or playback of an unfinalized disc
can be done only with this unit. However, there is some
limitation to editing operations.
• In this mode, you cannot record a TV program “one-
time recordable”.
• When you record a TV program of a bilingual broad-
cast, only the audio selected from main or sub can
be recorded.
Format modes that can be used each disc
The usable format depends on the media type as shown
in the below table.
DVD-RW
• The disc can repeatedly record about 1,000 times.
• Only the VR mode can be used for Ver.1.0 discs.
• With Ver.1.1 discs, you can record by selecting the
VR mode or video mode.
• When you record in the VR mode, you can repeat-
edly record and erase. By erasing the unnecessary
title, you effectively increase remaining time.
• When you record in the video mode, you can record
until the disc becomes full.
• When you use the video mode, you can newly record
on the disc by initializing the disc. However, if the disc
is initialized, all the recorded content will be erased.
DVD-R
• You can record on the disc only in the video mode.
• You can record until the disc becomes full.
• Finalizing the discs allows playback on other DVD
players. However, the finalized discs can no longer
record or erase.
• Discs can be additionally recorded with this unit only
until they are finalized.
NOTES:
• There are some players that cannot play back discs
that were recorded with this unit. We cannot guaran-
tee the playback on other units.
• This unit cannot record on DVD-R and DVD-RWs of
8 cm diameter.
• This unit cannot record on CD-R or CD-RW.

Disc
Title/Chapter/Track
A DVD-Video has a large partition called a “title” and a
smaller partition called a “chapter”.
A music CD has another partition called a “track”. A
number is allotted to each partition and these numbers
are called “title numbers”, “chapter numbers” or “track
numbers”.
When recording in the VR mode
One-time recording is set to 1 title (1 chapter). How-
ever, if you stop recording temporarily or erase scenes
by editing, the chapter will automatically be partitioned.
The interval between chapters can be specified. (See
page 77.)
When recording in the video mode
One-time recording is set to 1 title. In recording, chap-
ters are set automatically. The interval between chap-
ters can be specified. (See page 77.)
NOTES:
• The title, chapter and track are numbered, but some
discs may not record the numbers.
• Recording on DVD-R/RW in the video mode is a new
standard approved at the 2000 DVD forum. Confor-
mity to this standard varies with each DVD player
manufacturer. Some models of DVD player or DVD-
ROM drive, therefore, will not play back recorded vid-
eos.
• In the video mode, you can only change title names.
Other editing operations cannot be performed.
• The number of chapters that can be created on one
disc varies with the remaining memory space of the
disc, the target number being 200. However, the num-
ber of chapter marks that cannot be erased (this chap-
ter is automatically created when a scene is added
or erased) is limited to 50 per title.
Disc playback in other players
A disc recorded in this unit can be finalized. The final-
ized disc can be played back in players other than this
unit that can playback DVD-RWs and DVD-Rs.
For more information on finalization, see “Finalization”
in “Disc setting” (page **).
When recording in the VR mode
A disc recorded in the VR mode can be recorded or
edited in this unit after finalization.
When you playback the disc in another player, make
sure that the DVD player supports DVD-RW and bears
the following mark.
When recording in the video mode
When a disc recorded in the video mode is finalized,
you cannot record the disc after that. Therefore, before
finalization, be sure to perform the necessary record-
ing. After finalization, a title menu that can be used by
the DVD player is automatically created.
NOTES:
• The finalization process requires a few minutes to
about 1 hour. (If there is much remaining space on
the disc, the process will take more time.)
• A DVD-RW Ver.1.1 recorded in the video mode can-
not be recorded or edited after finalization, but if you
initialize the disc by erasing all the content, you can
record on this disc.
• A finalized disc may not play because of its condition
or the DVD player used for playback.
• Some players may not playback the discs recorded
with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback us-
ing other players.

Types of disc
You can use DVD-RW and DVD-R discs to record video.
DVD-RW discs
•Ver.1.1 discs can be formatted for recording in one of two modes: the
VR mode or the video mode. Ver.1.0 discs can only be formatted for
recording in the VR mode.
•High quality images and sound can be repeatedly recorded about
1,000 times.
•A disc initialized in the VR mode can have as many as 99 original
titles and playlist titles each. Discs formatted in the video mode can
have up to 99 original titles.
DVD-R discs
•Discs can only be recorded in the video mode
•Discs can be recorded only once.
•Up to 99 titles can be created.
For more information on recording format, see “Recording for-
mat” (page 10).
Notes on recording in the video mode
•The video mode cannot be selected for Ver. 1.0 DVD-RW discs.
•The remaining available area on the disc decreases as recording
progresses. Additional contents can be recorded in the remaining
time area, but it cannot be overwritten in the recorded area.
•To initialize a new DVD-RW in the video mode, set the automatic
initialization feature to the video mode. (See page 73.)
•To record a bilingual broadcast, select either main or sub as the au-
dio in advance.
•Even if STOP is pressed during recording, recording does not stop
instantly. Recording may continue for as long as 30 seconds (60 sec-
onds in the LP mode) maximum.
Recording modes
There are 4 modes for recording on disc. Recording time and quality
vary according to mode.
•Recording time above is based on a 4.7GB disc.
•SLP can be selected only in the VR mode.
NOTES:
•When use one touch recording to
record on a DVD disc, it takes
some time from when you press
REC/OTR until recording actually
starts. (With a DVD-RW it takes
about 2 seconds, while with a
DVD-R it takes about 10 seconds.)
Press REC/OTR a little before your
preferred starting point.
•Because of characteristics pecu-
liar to digital video compression
technology, scenes with fast mo-
tion may appear as a matrix of
larger blocks.
This section explains things you must
know to record on disc. Read it be-
fore attempting to record.
NOTES:
Recording time can change for the
following reasons.
•When image quality is poor as dur-
ing poor TV reception
•When recording on a disc that has
been edited before
•When the video is followed with re-
cordings of still images or just au-
dio

Read this before recording video on disc
In DVD recording with VBR (Variable Bit Rate), recoding time can vary
except with some recording modes.
To know the correct recording time, stop recording and check the me-
dia information. (See page 25.)
Disc remaining time
VR mode
•Recording is possible as long as there is available space on the disc.
(Recording is also possible with a finalized disc.)
•Erasing unnecessary title frees up available space on the disc. (Fi-
nalized discs can be erased, too.)
Video mode
•Up until the disc is finalized, recording is possible as long as there is
available space on the disc. (Once the disc has been finalized, addi-
tional recording and erasing are not possible.)
•The remaining time cannot be increased, nor can recorded title be
overwritten.
•Titles cannot be erased.
Images that cannot be recorded
Some DVD-Videos and CS broadcasts contain copy-restriction sig-
nals to protect copyrights. There are 3 types of copy-restriction signals:
unrestricted recording, recording prohibited and one-time recordable.
“Unrestricted recording”
Land-based TV broadcasts and images you record yourself with a video
camera allow unrestricted recording. There are no restrictions on re-
cording.
“Recording prohibited”
•Images that contain the recording prohibited signal cannot be re-
corded.
•If the recording prohibited signal appears halfway through an image
you are recording, recording is paused at that instant. When the re-
cording prohibited signal ends, recording resumes.
•This unit incorporates a built-in copy guard. It cannot record soft-
ware or broadcasted programs that contain copy restriction signals
designed to protect copyright, etc.
“One-time recordable”
Programs (images) that contain the one-time recordable signal can be
recorded only in the VR mode using a DVD-RW disc that supports
CPRM Ver. 1.1.
