Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level: • Start your volume control at a low setting. • Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: • Set the dial and leave it there. Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection. Decibel Level Example 30 40 50 60 70 80 Quiet library, soft whispers Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet. THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE 90 100 120 140 180 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap Gunshot blast, jet plane Rocket launching pad Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation. Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

By erasing unnecessary titles, 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 formatting the disc. However, if the disc is formatted, all the recorded contents 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 be recorded. • Discs can be recorded to repeatedly until they are finalized. Note • There are some players that cannot playback discs that were recorded with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback with other units. • This unit cannot record on CD-R or CD-RW. • This unit may not be able to record to or playback from discs that have been recorded on other units due to the recording conditions, surface dirt or scratches. • Other units may not be able to record to or playback from discs that have been recorded on the unit due to the recording conditions, surface dirt or scratches. • This mode can be used for DVD-RW. • In this mode, the discs can be recorded and edited repeatedly. • The disc recorded in this mode can be played back with other DVD-RW-compatible players. • When a Ver.1.1 CPRM or Ver. 1.2 disc is used, you can record a “Copy Once” program (see page 53). Video mode • This mode can be used for DVD-R and DVD-RW (Ver.1.1/1.2). • When you finalize the disc after recording, the disc recorded with this unit can be played back with 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 “Copy Once” program (see page 53). • When you record a TV program of a bilingual broadcast, only one of the audio modes can be recorded. You have to select it. Format modes that can be used each disc The usable format depends on the media type as shown in the below table.

(See “UNDO FINALIZE” on page 28.) When you playback the disc with 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 Video mode 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 31.) 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 31.) Note • 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 DVD-ROM drive, therefore, will not playback recorded videos. When a disc recorded in the Video mode is finalized, it cannot be recorded onto any more. Therefore, before finalization, be sure to perform all desired recording. After finalization, a title list that can be used by the DVD player is automatically created. Note • The finalization process may require from a few minutes up to 1 hour depending on the disc type and the amount of free space on the disc. • A DVD-RW Ver.1.1/1.2 recorded in the Video mode cannot be recorded or edited after finalization, but if you format the disc by erasing all the content, you can again record on this disc. • A finalized disc may not play because of the condition of the DVD or the compatibility with the player used for playback. • Some players may not playback the discs recorded with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback using other players. 11 En 2G00201A_En_06_11 11 2/12/05, 3:22 PM 02 Controls and displays Chapter 2 Controls and displays Front panel PLAY button STOP button Cassette Loading Slot VCR EJECT button STANDBY/ON button REW (Rewind) button IR Remote senser FF (Fast Forward) button Disc tray VCR/DVD button DVD indicator OPEN/CLOSE button VCR indicator DVD/VCR common AUDIO (L/R)/VIDEO IN (LINE 2) jacks Display window CHANNEL –/+ buttons DVD S-VIDEO IN (LINE 2) jack DUBBING button REC button Rear panel RF OUT jack DVD COMPONENT OUT jacks DVD COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack AC power cord DVD OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack FAN Make sure that when installed the fan is not obstructed.

Read it before attempting to record. Recording modes There are 4 modes for recording on disc. Recording time and quality vary according to mode. Recording Recording time Quality mode Types of disc You can use DVD-RW and DVD-R discs to record video. DVD-RW discs • Ver 1.1/1.2 discs can be formatted for recording in either of the 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 formatted 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 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 into the recorded area. • To format a new DVD-RW in the Video mode, set the automatic format feature to the Video mode. (See page 27.) Note • Should a power failure occur or should the AC cord plug be disconnected while recording, editing, initializing, finalizing or any other function, the program being recorded will be lost or the disc may not be playable. Manufacturer cannot guarantee against loss of program or disc should this occur. XP Approx. 60 min SP Approx. 120 min Can record normal quality images. LP Approx. 240 min Quality deteriorates slightly, but recording time is longer. EP Approx. 360 min Recording time is prioritized over quality. • Recording time above is based on a 4.7GB disc. Please note that there is a trade-off between recording time and quality. The longer the possible recording time, the lower the recorded picture quality. You may wish to try recording different kinds of program in different modes to determine the combination of picture quality and recording time that suits your needs. We recommend that the XP mode be used for recording fast moving or action programs. Since DVD recording is performed using VBR (Variable Bit Rate), recording time varies according to the recorded content. To know the correct recording time, stop recording and check the media information. (See page 35.) Note • 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. 52 En 2G00201A_En_52_62 52 Can record high quality images. 2/12/05, 3:25 PM Recording 06 Disc remaining time Note VR mode • Recording is possible as long as there is available space on the disc. (Finalized discs can be recorded by cancelling the finalization, see “UNDO FINALIZE” on page 28.) • Erasing unnecessary title frees up available space on the disc. (Titles can be erased from finalized discs by first undoing the finalization. See “UNDO FINALIZE” on page 28.) 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 nor can recorded titles be overwritten. • When using one touch timer recording to record on a DVD disc, it takes some time from when you press REC until recording actually starts. Press REC a little before your preferred starting point. • Even if STOP is pressed during recording, recording does not stop instantly. Recording may continue for as long as 10 seconds maximum in the VR mode or 30 seconds maximum in the Video mode. • Because of characteristics peculiar to digital video compression technology, scenes with fast motion may appear as a matrix of larger blocks. Images that cannot be recorded Some DVD-Video and broadcasts contain copy-restriction signals to protect copyrights. There are 3 types of copy-restriction signals: “Copy Free”, “Copy Never” and “Copy Once”. “Copy Free” (unrestricted recording) Land-based TV broadcasts and images you record yourself with a video camera allow unrestricted recording. There are no restrictions on recording. “Copy Never” (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. “Copy Once” (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 and Ver. 1.2. 53 En 2G00201A_En_52_62 53 2/12/05, 3:25 PM 06 Recording Recording a TV program VR mode Video mode DVD-R VCR You can record programs you watch on TV onto video tapes or DVDs.

However, the items that you can edit vary with the recording formats. In VR mode, you can edit various title menus, whereas in Video mode, you can edit only a few items. Title menu When the content is recorded, a title name that includes the date, time, channel number and other information is created automatically. The title menu can be used when you playback after confirming the contents (see page 34), or when you check the contents recorded on the disc. Original title The titles explained above are called original titles; these will be added with every recording. In VR mode you can do various editing operations – renaming titles, adding chapter marks, etc. In addition, you can erase the unnecessary titles to increase the disc space. Playlist You can create a playlist based on the original titles. You can combine or erase undesired scenes. If you create a playlist it will become the primary list used by the disc. If you create a playlist to customize your viewing preferences, and choose to delete it, the original titles will not be affected. It is recommended to create and edit the playlist to prevent important titles from being erased accidentally. If you create a playlist, both the original title and playlist will be displayed on the title menu. Editable items The items that can be edited are different between original title and playlist. For the disc in Video mode, only the title name can be edited. The items can be edited in each are as follows: Editing items VR mode Video mode Original Playlist Original Playback Adding chapter mark Combining chapters Erasing scenes Erasing titles Renaming titles Creating playlist Combining titles If you finalize the disc in Video mode, the title list will be created and you cannot use the title menu. Note • This unit can not record or edit a disc which was recorded or edited using another DVD recorder. • You cannot edit or record the disc on which disc protection is set. In such a case, be sure to cancel the disc protection (see page 28) before starting the operation. • When a scene has been erased, the selected position for erasing may vary slightly from the actual erased position. 63 En 2G00201A_En_63_71 63 2/12/05, 3:26 PM 07 Editing Creating a playlist Editing a playlist VR mode VR mode You can create and edit the playlist based on the original title. 1 Press TITLE MENU.
