Read "SAFETY PRECAUTIONS",
"IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS",
and all other sections of the "INSTALLATION
GUIDE" that came with this
product prior to reading this "OPERATIONS

GUIDE".

Because of its recording capacity, this DVD recorder
operates more like a computer and differently than a
standard DVD player. In addition to containing a
microprocessor,
it contains an operating system,
random access memory (RAM), and a DVD-RAM/R/RW
drive. The operating system includes software that is
transferred to the RAM when the machine is turned on
and at other times during operation.
This transfer can
take time. Therefore, when you turn the DVD recorder
on, it may take a little while before it is ready to use.
Likewise, other functions may not be performed as
quickly as they would on other AV equipment.
Additionally, accessing those programs (or deleting a
program from a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc) may take
more time. Please take these factors into consideration
as you use the DVD recorder.

In isolated cases, a disc bearing the DVD or CD logo
may not fully and properly play back all features or as
intended by the creator of the disc. This can be due,
among other reasons, to problems and errors that can
occur during the creation or recording of DVD and other
software and the manufacture of software discs
(including blank discs). Moreover, because of
variations in the quality of discs, this recorder may not
be able to record on all discs that bear a DVD-RAM,
DVD-R or DVD-RW logo, but you should not encounter
difficulty if you use only high quality recordable DVD
discs. Additionally, discs recorded in this device may not
operate properly in other DVD players, recorders and/or
personal computer drives. If you happen to encounter
difficulties playing or recording a DVD disc or playing a
CD disc, please feel free to call our Customer Service
Hotline at 1-800-319-6684.

This owner's manual explains the basic instructions
for
this recorder. Some DVD video discs are produced in a
manner that allows specific or limited operation during
playback. As such, the recorder may not respond to all
operating commands. This is not a defect in the
recorder. Please refer to the notes on compatible discs
later in this Introduction and to the discussion of DVD
playback

and features

later in this manual.

"_" may appear on the TV screen during operation.
"_" means that the operation is not permitted by the
recorder or the disc.

Copy-protected
contents of DVD-Video discs, VIDEO
CDs or audio CDs on the market cannot be copied on
this recorder. Contents without copy protection should
be copied or edited only in accordance with applicable
copyright laws, which may restrict copying or editing.
Contents that permit single copying (copy once
contents) can be recorded onto DVD-RAM discs, with
some dubbing and editing restrictions. DVD-R/RW discs
cannot record these contents.
The unauthorized
recording, use, distribution, or
revision of copyrighted materials including, without
limitation, television programs, videotapes, and DVDs, is
prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United
States and other countries, and may subject you to civil
and criminal liability.

purposes

DVD-RAM discs for your personal library
DVD-RAM discs comply with the global standard DVD-VR (Video Recording) format, and are optimized for recording of
TV programs.You
can rewrite repeatedly without deterioration
of an image quality, erase unnecessary
parts, divide a
chapter, or specify playback area by frame. Its cartridge is suitable for a longer-term storage and family use, and its
large capacity of 9.4 GB allows more recording space.
DVD-R discs when creating your own original discs for distribution
DVD-R discs are designed to comply with the global standard DVD-Video format, and can be recorded only once.
DVD-R discs are convenient when you edit your original content (recorded personal events such as a wedding party)
with this recorder, transfer them to the recorder and make copies to send to your friends or relatives. The discs can be
played on other compatible DVD players. DVD-RW discs, which are rewriteable, can be used as well.
'_ DVD-R and DVD-RW may not be the best suited format for recording TV programs. Because of the way the discs are
formatted, it may not be possible to edit or divide the program as you may prefer, to record secondary languages, or
programs that are copy protected in a way that allows only one copy. (NOTE: "Copy once" protected
generally can be recorded to DVD-RAM discs.)
'_ This recorder records on a DVD-R/RW disc in DVD-Video format only. In DVD-VR format, recording

programs
is not possible.

We cannot guarantee that DVD-RAM/R/RW
discs recorded on this recorder will be playable on all DVD recorders/
players. Similarly, there is no guarantee that all DVD-RAM/R/RW
discs recorded on other recorders will be playable on
this recorder.

•

To protect recorded contents
Slide the write-protect
tab to
"PROTECT" with something small
enough. The disc can play, but
cannot be edited or erased. Refer to
the instructions that come with the
disc.

•

When using a disc without a
cartridge (commercially
available discs)
Discs without cartridges can easily
attract fingerprints and dust, which
is the reason they are not recommended.
If you cannot
avoid using them, handle with proper care.
When you write in a title column on a disc, use a pen
with a soft tip. Do not use a pen with a hard tip, such
as a ballpoint pen.

The recorder cannot record on a disc formatted in any
other standard. When using such a disc, initialize it by
using the disc-format function of this recorder.
•

•

The recorder may not record, dub, or edit some DVDRAM discs, because they are edited/recorded
with
another manufacturer's
equipment or PC, contain a
large number of titles, or have little remaining capacity.
Also, a DVD-RAM disc may not be edited or recorded
if its title contains still pictures.
DVD-RAM discs formatted in UDF2.0 on a PC are not
compatible with this recorder. Before using these
discs, initialize them on this recorder.
This recorder complies with current copyright
protection technology and can copy a disc only when
the disc permits copying once. When there is no

In order to record highly detailed data, make sure the
disc is clean. DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are
easier to handle in this regard.
Do not open the cartridge shutter. The disc may not
play, or may not be recorded or edited once it
becomes dirty.
There are two types of DVD-RAM cartridges;
removable (TYPE 2/4) and not removable (TYPE 1). It
is recommended
you do not remove the disc even
when you can.
