To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an

HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player

and the display device (or an AV amplifier) support a

bandwidth digital content protection system). HDCP is

copy protection technology that comprises data

encryption and authentication of the connected AV

device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the

operating instructions of your display device (or AV

amplifier) for more information.

* HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface

Note

• Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is

possible that some devices with an HDMI input may

not operate properly with this unit.

• When using an HDCP-incompatible display device,

the image will not be viewed properly.

• Among the devices that support HDMI, some

devices can control other devices via the HDMI

connector; however, this unit cannot be controlled by

another device via the HDMI connector.

• The audio signals from the HDMI connector

(including the sampling frequency, the number of

channels and bit length) may be limited by the

device that is connected.

• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do

not support audio output (for example, projectors).

In connections with device such as this unit, audio

signals are not output from the HDMI output

connector.

• When this unit’s HDMI connector is connected to a

DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with

an HDMI-DVI conversion cable, the signals are

output in digital RGB.

• If the connected equipment is not compatible with

HDMI BITSTREAM, DTS sound will not be output.

• When the power failure occurs, or when you unplug

the unit, some problems in the HDMI setting might

occur.

Please check and set the HDMI setting again.

Connecting to an External Equipment

This unit has three input terminals which can be

selected using [INPUT SELECT F] on the remote

control, AV1 or AV2 on the rear panel and AV3 on the

front panel. Be sure that all the units are switched off

before making connections.

or other Audio-Video equipment with a Scart

output socket (AV2)

Note

• When you record a TV programme from a Satellite

Box, you must connect a Scart cable to AV2

Information on DVD Recording

Type of Discs

This unit can record on DVD-RW/-R discs and

DVD+RW/+R discs.

DVD-R/+R discs allow you to record programmes only

once, and the recorded contents can be erased

although the space left on the disc does not change.

DVD-RW/+RW discs allow you to record programmes

repeatedly, and the recorded contents can be erased.

There are 3 recording formats: VR mode, Video mode

and +VR mode. VR and Video modes are available for

DVD-RW discs while as only Video mode is available

for DVD-R discs. +VR mode is available for DVD+RW/

+R discs.

Video mode is the same recording format as used on

the pre-recorded DVD-Videos you purchase in local

shops. You can play back the discs recorded in this

format in most of the DVD players. You will need to

finalise such discs (see page 59) before playing them

back in other DVD players. Unless finalised, you can

record additional materials or edit discs recorded in

Video mode with this unit. VR (Video Recording)

mode is a basic recording format for DVD-RW discs.

VR mode offers advanced editing, and you can record

and edit material repeatedly, however it is playable

only on VR mode compatible unit. Finalisation is

recommended before playing them back in other unit.

+VR mode is a recording format for DVD+RW/+R

disc. +VR mode offers basic editing, and it is playable

in most DVD players. Finalisation is recommended

before playing them back in other unit.

Recording Mode

You can select a recording mode from 5 options.

The recording time will vary depending on the

recording mode you select as follows.

• The recording times are estimates and actual

recording time may differ.

• The audio and video quality becomes poorer as the

recording time gets longer.

Restrictions on Recording

You cannot record copy-protected video using this

unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Videos and

some satellite broadcasts.

If copy-protected material is detected, recording will

pause or stop automatically and an error message

appears on the screen.

You can only record “Copy-once only” video using a

DVD-RW disc in VR mode with Content Protection for

Recordable Media (CPRM) or internal HDD.

When recording a TV broadcast or an external input,

you can display copy control information on the

screen.

CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the

protection of “copy-once” broadcast programmes.

This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you

can record copy-once broadcast programmes, but you

cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM

recordings can only be played back on DVD players

that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Information on Copy Control

Some satellite broadcasts include copy-protected

information. If you want to record them, refer to the

following.

Note

• This unit cannot record on CD-RW or CD-R discs.

• DVD-RW/-R, DVD+RW/+R and CD-RW/-R discs

recorded on a personal computer or a DVD or CD

recorder may not be played back if the disc is

damaged or dirty or if there is condensation on the

recorder’s lens.

• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even

if it is recorded in a compatible format, it may not be

played back because of the settings of the

application software used to create the disc. (Check

with the software publisher for more detailed

information.)

• Discs recorded in Video mode on this unit cannot

record additional information using other DVD

recorders.

• Since recording is performed using the Variable Bit

Rate (VBR) method, the actual remaining time for

recording may be a little shorter than the remaining

time displayed on the OSD, depending on the

picture you are recording.

Making Discs Playable in Other DVD

Players (Finalise)

After recording, you must finalise the disc to play it

back in other players. (See page 59.)

You cannot finalise discs in other DVD recorders.

About HDD

HDD is a special device which has high recording

density and is suited for long-time recording or high-

speed cueing but by contrast, has many factors which

can cause breakage. Use HDD on the premise that

you should dub the recorded programmes to a DVD

disc to protect your precious videos.

HDD is a temporary storage location:

HDD is not a permanent storage location of the

recorded contents. Be sure to use it as a temporary

storage location until you watch the programmes

once, edit them, or dub them to a DVD disc.

Be sure to dub (back up) data promptly if you find

abnormalities in HDD:

If there is mechanical trouble with the HDD, grinding

or other sounds may be heard or blocky noise may

appear on the image. If you continue to use as it is,

deterioration may continue and eventually the HDD

may not be used at all. If you notice these symptoms

of a failing HDD, promptly dub the data to a DVD disc.

When an HDD fails, recovery of recorded content

(data) may be impossible.

About the remaining capacity of HDD recording

time:

In recording to HDD, the Remaining Capacity Display

may differ from the actual recordable time as this unit

adopts Variable Bit Rate encoding, which varies the

recording (storage) amount of data in conformity with

the information amount of video. Before recording to

the HDD, ensure there is sufficient space on the HDD

by deleting unnecessary titles in advance. (Remaining

capacity will not increase if you only delete Playlists.)

Maximum Recordable Numbers of

Title / Chapters

HDD:

600 Original titles

VPS (Video Programme System) /

PDC (Programme Delivery Control)

The Video Programme System (VPS) or Programme

Delivery Control (PDC) assures that the TV

programmes you have programmed for timer

recording are recorded exactly from beginning to end,

even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the

scheduled time due to a delayed start or extension of

the programme duration. Furthermore, if a

programme is interrupted, the recording will also be

interrupted automatically and resumed when the

programme starts again.

If the VPS/PDC signal drops out because the

broadcast signal is weak, or if a broadcasting station

does not transmit a regular VPS/PDC signal, the timer

recording is performed in normal mode (without VPS/

PDC) even if it was programmed for VPS/PDC. If the

starting time of the VPS/PDC timer recording is

between 0:00 and 3:59 on a given day, the VPS/PDC

function will operate from 20:00 on the previous day to

4:00 on the next day. If the starting time of the VPS/

PDC timer recording is between 4:00 and 23:59 on a

given day, the VPS/PDC function will operate from

0:00 on the given day to 4:00 on the next day. This

means that if the relevant programme is broadcasted

within this period, it is recorded correctly. If the timer is

not programmed correctly, the incorrect timer setting

stays in effect unless you cancel it. To cancel an

incorrect timer setting, refer to “Checking, Cancelling

or Correcting the Timer Programming Information” on

this page.

Note

• This feature is only available for analogue channels.

Recording Mode for Dubbing

“High”

This unit is compatible with the high speed dubbing

from HDD to DVD or VR mode DVD-RW disc to HDD.

With the high speed dubbing, you can dub a title much

faster than the normal speed dubbing without

changing the quality of the picture and sound. (e.g. If

you dub a title recorded in SLP mode to DVD-R or

DVD+R, dubbing speed will be 32 times faster than

the normal dubbing speed.) To perform the high

speed dubbing, set the recording mode to “High”.

• Duration of high speed dubbing will vary depending

on the recording mode or the title amount.

• High speed dubbing is not available when;

- recording mode is set to other than “High”.

- dubbing from a video mode DVD-RW/-R or

DVD+RW/+R disc to the HDD.

- there is not enough space in the disc.

- dubbing a title recorded in EP or SLP mode to

DVD+RW / +R discs.

• High speed dubbing of an HDD title which has

bilingual audio is only available to VR mode

DVD-RW disc.

“Auto”

When “Auto” is selected as a recording mode, the unit

calculates how much time is available on the disc and

selects the best recording mode available

automatically.

• The recording may be cut short when the available

recording space of the disc is too limited.

Note

• During normal dubbing, you can watch the playback

picture of the title being dubbed (the audio cannot

be changed). During high speed dubbing, the

playback picture will not appear.

• When you dub an HDD title that has bilingual audio

to Video mode DVD-RW / -R or DVD+RW / +R disc,

select an appropriate audio format in the “Bilingual

Recording Audio” menu. Refer to “Setting Bilingual

Recording Audio” on page 42.

• In order to dub a DVD recorded with the NTSC, set

the “TV System” to “PAL”. Refer to “9. TV System”

on page 88.

• If you stop the dubbing halfway, the contents will be

dubbed up to where you stop the dubbing (except

for the high speed dubbing). With high speed

dubbing, nothing will be dubbed if you stop it

halfway.

• To stop the dubbing in progress, press [CSTOP] on

the front panel or press [STOP C] for 2 seconds on

the remote control. If you stop the high speed

dubbing or stop the dubbing copy-once

programmes, confirmation message appears. Select

“Yes” using [U\D], then press [ENTER] to

proceed.

Other recording modes

Refer to page 37 for the information on other

recording modes.

Copy : After dubbing the programme, the original

programme will remain.

Move: After dubbing the programme, the original

programme will not remain.

Playlist:

Playlist is the copy of the Original. You can edit the

titles in the Playlist as you like without affecting the

original data in the Original. It works like a backup for

the Original. Delete a Playlist does not delete the

corresponding Original. But if you delete an Original,

the corresponding Playlists will be deleted. Playlist is

available only for the HDD and the VR mode DVD-

RWs.

About Edit Mark:

Edit marks will be added automatically where title is

edited, for example where a title is divided or

combined. These marks work as chapter marks when

you search for a chapter, but cannot be deleted like

chapter marks. Also, when a title with chapter marks

are dubbed from DVD to the HDD, those marks

become edit marks once they are dubbed to the HDD.

Using these editing functions to modify

copyrighted content for any purpose other than

your private viewing may be prohibited under the

countries, and may subject you to civil and

criminal liability.

Note

• A Playlist is not available for DVD-R or Video mode

DVD-RW and DVD+RW/+R discs.

• It is not possible to edit a disc recorded in another

video system other than PAL, such as NTSC.

• After finalising a DVD-RW/-R or DVD+R disc, you

cannot edit any information that is on that disc.

Deleting Titles

You can delete titles you do not want to keep.

When an Original is deleted from HDD or VR mode

DVD-RW disc, the recordable disc space will

increase. Even when a Playlist is deleted, the original

of the Playlist will remains, and recordable disc space

will not increase.

Recordable disc space of Video mode DVD-RW and

DVD+RW disc will increase when the last title on the

title list is deleted. However, deleting the title will not

change recordable disc space for DVD-R and DVD+R

disc.

Glossary

Analogue audio

An electrical signal that directly

represents sound. In contrast,

digital audio can also be an

electrical signal, but is an indirect

representation of sound. See also

“Digital audio”.

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relative to

its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3

(i.e., the screen is almost square).

Widescreen models are 16:9 (the

screen is almost twice as wide as its

height).

Chapter

Just as a book is split up into

several chapters, a title on an HDD/

DVD is usually divided into

chapters. See also “Title”.

Component video output

Each signal of luminance(Y) and

component (PB/CB, PR/CR) is

independent to output so that you

can experience picture colour as it

is.

Also, due to compatibility with

progressive video (576p/480p), you

can experience higher-density

picture than that in interlace (576i/

480i).

CPRM

(Content Protection for

Recordable Media)

CPRM is a scrambling copy

protection system for the protection

of “copy-once” broadcast

programmes (e.g. some satellite

broadcasts).

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound

using numbers. During recording,

the sound is measured at discrete

intervals (44,100 times a second for

CD audio) by an analogue-to-digital

converter, generating a stream of

numbers. On playback, a digital-to-

analogue converter generates an

analogue signal based on these

numbers. See also “Sampling

frequency” and “Analogue audio”.

Dolby Digital

A system developed by Dolby

Laboratories that compresses

digital sound. It works with stereo

(2ch) or multi-channel audio.

DTS

(Digital Theater System)

DTS is a multi channel surround

sound system. By connecting to

DTS decoder, you can enjoy

dynamic and realistic sound like

movie theatre. DTS surround sound

technologies were developed by

DTS, Inc.

Finalise

To make DVDs that have been

recorded playable in DVD players. It

is possible to finalise DVD-RW/-R

and DVD+RW/+R discs with this

unit.

HDMI

(High Definition Multimedia

Interface)

A digital interface between audio

and video source. It can transmit

component video, audio, and control

signal with one cable connection.

JPEG

(Joint Photographic Experts

Group)

JPEG is a method of compressing

still image files. You can copy JPEG

files on CD-RW/-R discs from a

computer and play back the files on

this unit.

MP3

(MPEG Audio Layer 3)

MP3 is a method of compressing

files. You can copy MP3 files on

CD-RW/-R discs from a computer

and play back the files on this unit.

PBC (Video CD only)

(Playback Control)

This function enables you to play

back interactive software using a

menu screen. See also “Title”.

PCM

(Pulse Code Modulation)

PCM is a format that converts audio

into digital data. It is mainly used for

Audio CDs and DAT. This unit can

play back sounds as realistic as

possible by converting even

compressed Dolby Digital and

MPEG audio to PCM.

Playlist

From this list, you can play back

contents of a disc in your desired

order or in sequence. It is also

possible to directly search for a

specific scene.

Progressive Scan (576p/480p)

A type of display that does not split

each frame into fields, and instead

scans directly through all the

scanlines of each frame in order.

Progressive Scan provides less

flickering and higher image

resolution than traditional (576i/

480i) TV signals. Refer to pages 20

to 21 and 90 for instructions on the

Progressive Scan mode selection.

Region code

Regions associate discs and

players with particular areas of the

world. This unit will only play back

discs that have compatible region

codes. You can find the region code

of your unit by looking on the rear

panel. Some discs are compatible

with more than one region (or all

regions).

Sampling frequency

The rate at which sound is

measured by a specified interval to

turn it into digital audio data. The

number of samples in one second is

defined as the sampling frequency.

The higher the rate is, the better the

possible sound quality.

Title

(HDD/DVD)

A collection of chapters on an HDD/

DVD. See also “Chapter”.

(Video CD)

The contents of a Video CD. When

playing back a Video CD with the

PBC function, the Title Menu will

appear automatically.

Track

Audio CDs and Video CDs use

tracks to divide the contents of a

disc. The DVD equivalent is called a

chapter. See also “Chapter”.

Video mode

Video mode is the same recording

format as used on the DVD-Videos

you purchase in local shops. You

can play back the discs recorded in

this format in most DVD players,

however it offers only limited editing.

You will need to finalise discs

recorded in Video mode before

playing them back on other unit.

VR mode

A basic recording format for

DVD-RW. VR mode offers advanced

editing, and you can record and edit

material repeatedly, however it is

playable only on VR mode

compatible unit. Finalisation is

recommended before playing them

back on other unit.

+VR mode

A recording format for DVD+RW/+R.

+VR mode offers basic editing, and

it is playable on most DVD players.

Finalisation is recommended before

playing them back in other unit.
