Note on playback operations of DVD VIDEOs/ VIDEO CDs Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are being marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product. Some playback operations of DVD VIDEOs/ VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by software producers. Since this recorder plays DVD VIDEOs/VIDEO CDs according to the disc contents the software producers designed, some playback features may not be available. Also, see the instructions supplied with the DVD VIDEOs/ VIDEO CDs. Note on DualDiscs Region code (DVD VIDEO only) • Some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, or CD-RWs/CD-Rs cannot be played on this recorder due to the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device and authoring software. The disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, see the operating instructions for the recording device. • You cannot mix VR mode and Video mode on the same DVD-RW. To change the disc’s format, reformat the disc (page 29).

If you want to dub by way of the LINE IN jacks, see “Recording from connected equipment without a timer” on page 50. i.LINK cable (not supplied) To record from the DV IN jack The DV IN jack on this recorder conforms to the i.LINK standard. You can connect any other equipment that has an i.LINK (DV) jack, and record digital signals. Follow the instructions in “Preparing for DV/ Digital8 dubbing,” and then move on to the section on dubbing. For more information about i.LINK, see “About i.LINK” on page 92. z Hint If you plan to do additional editing on a disc after the initial dub, use the DV IN jack and record on a DVD-RW (VR mode). Preparing for DV/Digital8 dubbing You can connect a digital video camera to the DV IN jack on the recorder to record or edit from a DV/Digital8 format tape. Operation is straightforward because the recorder will fast forward and rewind the tape for you – you do not need to operate your digital video camera. Do the following to start using the “DV Edit” functions of this recorder. See the instruction manual supplied with the digital video camera as well before connecting. b Notes • The DV IN jack is for input only. It will not output signals. • You cannot use the DV IN jack when: – your digital video camera does not work with this recorder. Connect the camera to the LINE IN jack and follow the instructions of “Recording from connected equipment without a timer” on page 50. – the input signal is not in DVC-SD format. Do not connect a MICRO MV format digital video camera even if it has an i.LINK jack. – the images on the tape contain copy protection signals, which limit recording. • If you want to play the disc on other DVD equipment, finalize the disc (page 38). 70 DV output Digital video camera : Signal flow 1 Insert a disc. See “Inserting a Disc” on page 29. 2 Insert the source DV/Digital8 format tape into your digital video camera.

Then, select the setting for the audio input. “Stereo1” (default): Records original sound only. Normally select this when dubbing a DV format tape. “Mix”: Records both stereo 1 and 2. “Stereo2”: Records additional audio only. Select “Mix” or “Stereo2” only if you have added a second audio channel when recording with your digital video camera. You are ready to start dubbing. Select one of the dubbing methods on the following pages. b Notes • You cannot connect more than one piece of digital video equipment to the recorder. • You cannot control the recorder using another device or another recorder of the same model. • You cannot record date, time, or the contents of the cassette memory onto the disc. • If you record from a DV/Digital8 format tape that is recorded in multiple sound tracks, such as a tape with multiple sampling frequencies (48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 32 kHz), no sound or an unnatural sound will be output when playing back the sampling frequency switch point on the disc. • In order to use this recorder’s “Auto Chapter” setting (page 71, 72), be sure to correctly set the clock on your digital video camera before shooting. • The recorded picture may be momentarily affected if the picture size of the source image changes, or if there is nothing recorded on the tape. +RW -RWVR -RWVideo +R -R You can record the entire contents of a DV/ Digital8 format tape onto a disc with a single press of the ONE-TOUCH DUB button on the recorder. The recorder controls the digital video camera for the whole process, and completes the recording. How chapters are created The contents dubbed to DVD become a single title. When “Auto Chapter” of “Features” setup is set to “On,” this title is divided into chapters. When dubbing to a DVD-RW (VR mode), each shooting session on the tape becomes a chapter on the disc. For other discs, the recorder divides the title into chapters at approximately 6 minute intervals. DV/Digital8 Dubbing z Hints • You can turn off the recorder during dubbing. The recorder completes dubbing even after being turned off. • You can adjust the settings for the recording picture before recording. See “Adjusting the recording picture quality and size” on page 44.

DVDs created in Video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be programmed or edited. DVD VIDEO (page 10) A disc that contains up to eight hours of moving pictures on a disc the same diameter as a CD. The data capacity of a single-layer and singlesided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7 times that of a CD. The data capacity of a doublelayer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a singlelayer and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided DVD is 17 GB. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, which is a worldwide standard of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its original size. The DVD also uses a variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided on the DVD. Interlace format (page 17) Interlace format shows every other line of an image as a single “field” and is the standard method for displaying images on television. The even number field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image. Original (page 63) Titles actually recorded on a DVD-RW (VR mode). Erasing original titles frees up disc space. Playlist (page 63) Playback information created from the actual recordings on a DVD-RW (VR mode). A Playlist leaves the original titles as they are, and contains only the information needed to control playback. A Playlist title takes up very little disc space. Progressive format (page 17) Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can show 30 frames/60 fields in one second, the Progressive format can show 60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper.
