near the recorder. Do not leave rubber or plastic

products in contact with the recorder for a long

time.They will leave marks on the finish.

• The top and rear panels of the recorder may

become warm after a long period of use. This is

not a malfunction.

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

• Unplug the recorder before cleaning.

• Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner or

benzine, as they may damage the surface of the

recorder.

• Image and sound quality depend very much on

signal reception.

® Reception may be poor in weak signal areas. In this

case, consult your dealer or purchase a commercially

available antenna booster. Refer to the booster's

instruction manual for installation details.

Introduction

Precautions ( Continued )

Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please

read the following carefully,

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you

pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of

water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way,

moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside

this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.

0 o

[] Moisture condensation occurs during the

following cases.

® When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a

warm place.

® When you use the unit in a room where you just

turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind

from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

• in summer, when you use the unit in a hot and humid

place just after you move the unit from an air

conditioned room.

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 playback 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.

"Q" 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

Contents that permit single copying (copy once

contents) can be recorded onto DVD-RAM/RW discs,

with some dubbing and editing restrictions. DVD-R

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.

There are many types and formats of discs. Please use the following information to select an appropriate

disc.

Using different disc types for different 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 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 programs

generally can be recorded to DVD-RAM/RW discs.)

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.

Introduction

Choosing adisc (Continued )

[] Use only DVD-RAM discs that comply with

DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2.

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.

Q The recorder may not record, dub, or edit some

DVD-RAM 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.

O 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

indication on the disc, copying will not be allowed.

[] DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are

recommended for recording.

• Two types of DVD-RAM discs are

available: ones with cartridges and onest/ J \1

without cartridges.You can use either of I\ _ /I

them with this recorder, but the former

ones are recommended.

• 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.

O There are two types of DVD-RAM cartridges;

removable (TYPE 2/4) and not removable (TYPE

1). It is recommended you not to remove the disc

even when you can.

Refer to the instruction manual that comes with the

disc if it is absolutely necessary to remove the disc.

• Some commercially available cartridge discs cannot

be recorded or edited once the inside discs are

removed.

O 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
