Media type DVD-RW Ver.1.0 Ver.1.1 Ver.1.1CPRM support Logo mark Recording format This unit has two modes for formatting discs for recording: VR mode and video mode. When an unused DVD-RW (Ver.1.1) is loaded into this unit, the automatic initialization function starts to initialize the disc. (For the disc format setting in this step, see page 73.) VR mode DVD-R Ver.2.0 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 repeatedly 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 guarantee 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. • 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 “onetime recordable”. • When you record a TV program of a bilingual broadcast, 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. Media type DVD-RW (Ver.1.0) Format VR mode Available functions Playback, recording and editing (Original/playlist) DVD-RW VR mode Playback, recording and (Ver.1.1 and editing (Original/playlist) later) Video mode Playback and recording Editing (with limitation) Video mode Playback and recording DVD-R Editing (with limitation) (Ver.2.0 and later) 10 VRDVD4005_P02-P21 10 03.8.20, 11:38 PM Disc Title/Chapter/Track Disc playback in other players 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”. A disc recorded in this unit can be finalized. The finalized 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 DVD DISC TITLE1 CHAPTER 1 CHAPTER 2 TITLE2 CHAPTER 1 CHAPTER 2 CHAPTER 3 TRACK 4 TRACK 5 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. Audio-CD TRACK 1 TRACK 2 TRACK 3 When recording in the VR mode One-time recording is set to 1 title (1 chapter). However, 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, chapters are set automatically. The interval between chapters 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. Conformity to this standard varies with each DVD player manufacturer. Some models of DVD player or DVDROM drive, therefore, will not play back recorded videos. • 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 number of chapter marks that cannot be erased (this chapter is automatically created when a scene is added or erased) is limited to 50 per title. 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 recording. 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 cannot 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 using other players. 11 VRDVD4005_P02-P21 11 03.8.20, 11:38 PM Parts and functions Front VCR indicator Cassette Loading Slot VCR Display window STOP button DVD indicator Disc tray REC button SELECT DVD FUNCTION REC VCR/DVD VCR FUNCTION REC CHANNEL POWER button AUDIO (L/R)/VIDEO IN (LINE 2) jacks EJECT button VCR/DVD button OPEN/CLOSE button PLAY button button FF (Fast Forward) button REW (Rewind) button DVD S-VIDEO IN (LINE 2) jack Rear RF OUT jack DVD COMPONENT OUT jacks DVD COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack AC power cord DVD OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack DVD S-VIDEO IN (LINE 1) jack DVD S-VIDEO OUT jack DVD AUDIO (L/R) OUT jacks RF IN jack DVD/VCR common AUDIO (L/R)/VIDEO IN (LINE 1) jacks DVD/VCR common AUDIO (L/R)/VIDEO OUT jacks 12 VRDVD4005_P02-P21 12 03.8.20, 11:38 PM Parts and functions Display window No. Display Description Lights during video tape playback.

Read it before attempting to record. 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. 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 peculiar to digital video compression technology, scenes with fast motion may appear as a matrix of larger blocks. For more information on recording format, see “Recording format” (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 audio in advance. • Even if STOP is pressed during recording, recording does not stop instantly. Recording may continue for as long as 30 seconds (60 seconds in the LP mode) maximum. Recording modes There are 4 modes for recording on disc. Recording time and quality vary according to mode. NOTES: Recording time can change for the following reasons. • When image quality is poor as during poor TV reception • When recording on a disc that has been edited before • When the video is followed with recordings of still images or just audio Recording mode XP SP LP SLP Quality Recording time Approx. 60 min Approx. 120 min Approx. 240 min (Approx. 300 min in VR mode) Approx. 360 min Can record high quality images. Can record normal quality images. Quality deteriorates slightly, but recording time is longer. Recording time is prioritized over quality. • Recording time above is based on a 4.7GB disc. • SLP can be selected only in the VR mode. 42 VRDVD4005_P37-P50 42 03.8.21, 1:19 AM 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 media 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. (Finalized 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, additional 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 signals 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 recording. “Recording prohibited” • Images that contain the recording prohibited signal cannot be recorded. • If the recording prohibited signal appears halfway through an image you are recording, recording is paused at that instant. When the recording prohibited signal ends, recording resumes. • This unit incorporates a built-in copy guard. It cannot record software 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. 43 VRDVD4005_P37-P50 43 03.8.21, 1:19 AM
