instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions — All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Cleaning — Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do

not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

Exception: A product that is meant for uninterrupted service and that for

some specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization

code for a CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for

cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging the

appliance in the cleaning description otherwise required in item 5.

6. Attachments — Do not use attachments not recommended by the

video product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture — Do not use this video product near water - for

example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet

basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

8. Accessories — Do not place this video product on an unstable cart,

stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The video product may fall, causing serious

injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only

with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the

manufacturer or sold with the video product. Any mounting of the

appliance should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and should use a

mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

8A.

9. Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for

ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the video product, and to

protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or

covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the video

product on a bed, sofa, rug,

or other similar surface. This video product should never be placed near or

over a radiator or heat register. This video product should not be placed in

a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is

provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

10. Power Sources — This video product should be operated only from

the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not

sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance

supplier or local power company. For video products intended to operate

from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. Polarization — This product may be equipped with a polarized

alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the

other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety

feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try

reversing the plug.

If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your

obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

12. Power-Cord Protection — Power supply cords should be routed so that

they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against

them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles,

and the point where they exit from the appliance.

13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna or cable system

is connected to the video product, be sure the antenna or cable system is

grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and

built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides

information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting

structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size

of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection

to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Features

Digital Home Cinema

Introducing YAMAHA DVD recorder in your home theater environment!

Dolby Digital and DTS are supported. You can enjoy super dynamic theatrical sound by

connecting to AV receiver/amplifier.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Laboratories standard for transmitting 5.1 channels. Five full-value channels are

transmitted in this acoustic playback system. A further channel is used for low frequen-

cies (effects). The loudspeakers are arranged front left, front middle, front right, rear left

and rear right. This system is currently the most common system and is used in cinemas.

With this DVD recorder each sound track in 2-channel Dolby Digital is recorded onto

a DVD+RW.

DTS digital out

Transmission standard for 5.1 channels from Digital Theatre Systems Inc. This is the

second most wide-spread system after Dolby Digital.

Linear PCM

Audio

Recording

M1 & M2 recording modes offer high quality picture and sound enabled by linear PCM

recording.

Six Recording Modes

You have six recording modes to choose from: M1, M2, M2x, M3, M4, M6.

Select the one best suited for your need.

Six Hours of

Recording Time

You can record up to six hours in M6 recording mode.

Fit to Space Recording

Your DVD recorder calculates the best suitable bit rates from your programmed

recording time and an available disc space.

Simple programming system for DVD recorders. Simply enter the programming num-

ber associated with your television programme. You will find this number in your favor-

ite listings magazine.

Safe Record

Normally a recording is made at the current disc position. This is the same as for a

video cassette, in the middle of the tape for example. By holding down the

REC

S

button, the recording will be made at the end of all the other recordings to avoid over-

writing previous recordings.

New recordings on DVD+R discs are always added after all existing recordings.

Index Picture Screen

This screen tells you what’s on the disc. Each index screen represents a recording. On

the right hand side of the screen you can also see a disc indicator that shows the posi-

tion and length of the current recording on the disc in a graphic format. You can

choose and make your own index pictures from the title in playback.

EDIT

DVD makes it so easy to delete titles, split titles, insert chapters automatically and

manual, and do many more things. It enables you to simply delete commercials and

unwanted scenes.

Many Playable Disc Types

The following types of disc are supported: DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD, SVCD,

VCD, CD-R, and CD-RW.

Your DVD recorder can play back pre-recorded DVDs and CDs. DVDs recorded using

this DVD recorder can be played back on current and future DVD players.

MP3-CD

PLAYBACK

MP3 files are highly compressed music files. The data is compressed to 1/10 of the vol-

ume of the original audio material using a special process. This means that 10 hours of

music can be stored on a single CD.

These music CDs can be played on this machine.

ID3 Tag

When playing MP3, your DVD recorder will display on TV the name of the albums,

tracks, and artists if ID3 Tag information is recorded on the disc.

This connector is also known as a “FireWire” or “IEEE 1394”. This connector is used

to transmit wide digital broadband signals that are used for digital video camcorders.

Using this connector, you can so easily capture and save video onto DVD from your

digital video camera.

1. Introduction

What is a DVD?

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a new storage medium that combines the convenience of

the compact disc with the latest digital video technology. DVD video uses modern

MPEG2 data compression technology that enables an entire feature film to be stored

on a single five inch disc.

How good is the resolution of DVD compared with VHS?

The razor-sharp digital images have a resolution of more than 500 lines of 720 pixels

per line. This is more than twice as high as VHS and is even better than the laser disc. Its

picture quality is easily comparable to the digital masters produced in recording studios.

What can DVD+RW do?

DVD+ReWritable uses phase change media, the same technology on which rewritable

CDs are based. A high-performance laser is used to change the reflective properties of

the recording layer; this process can be repeated more than a thousand times.

What can the DVD+R do?

DVD+R (write-once DVD). Unlike a DVD+RW disc, this disc can only be written once.

If it is not finalized after a recording, further recordings can be added to it. Old record-

ings can be deleted but can no longer be overwritten. The deleted titles are marked

“Deleted title”.

Before this disc can be played in a DVD player, it must be finalised in the DVD recorder.

Once this process is complete, no further recordings can be added.

What can my DVD recorder do?

Your DVD recorder is a machine for recording and playing back digital video discs with

“two-way” compatibility with the universal DVD video standard. This means:

•) existing DVD video discs can be played on the recorder.

•) Recordings made on your DVD recorder can be played on other DVD video players

and DVD ROM drives.

11 Introduction

Because DVD films are usually not released at the same time in all regions of the world,

all DVD players are keyed to a specific region code. Discs can be assigned an optional

region code. If the region codes of the player and disc do not coincide, playback is not

possible.

This device will only play Region 1 DVDs or DVDs manufactured to be played in all

regions (“ALL”).

DVDs from other regions cannot be played in this DVD Recorder.

The number within the globe represents the region of the world.

Region 1 represents:

U.S, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, U.S. Virgin Islands and smaller

regions near Australia.

Some malfunctions (frozen or distorted picture and broken sound for example) are due

to dirt on the disc. To avoid such problems you should clean your discs regularly.

1Dirty discs should be cleaned with a soft cloth. Always wipe from the middle to

the edge.

2Do not use any solvents such as benzine, thinners, commercially available cleaning

agents or antistatic sprays designed for vinyl records.

Question

Can I use a CD lens cleaner in the DVD recorder?

This optical unit (laser) of the DVD recorder operates at a higher power level than

the ones in normal DVDs and CD players so CD lens cleaner discs may actually

damage it.

CD lens cleaner discs should therefore not be used.

recorder, refer to the relevant manuals first.

•) Do not connect the power cord until all connections are complete.

•) For the best results when playing DVDs, connect the DVD recorder’s video output

directly to your TV. If you connect your TV via your VCR, the DVD copy protection

system may affect the picture quality.

•) To enjoy the surround sound capabilities offered by DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS,

MPEG-2), you need to connect one of the DVD recorder’s digital audio outputs to

an AV amp with an appropriate surround-sound decoder built-in. See “Surround

sound connections” on page 17.

•) For synchronized recordings to other components connected with digital audio

cables, the length of each track and track numbers of the recorded materials may

become different from the originals. Occasionally, it does not start recording.

Connecting your antenna as shown will allow you to record a program on your DVD

recorder while watching another program on your TV.

1Disconnect the antenna plug (1) from your TV and connect it to the DVD

recorder’s ANTENNA socket.

2Using the supplied antenna cable (2), connect the DVD recorder’s TV socket to

your TV’s antenna input.

Preparing the remote control

Caution

Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types of batteries

(standard, alkaline, etc.). Doing so may reduce the life of the batteries.

Connection notes

Caution

Do not connect the DVD recorder’s audio outputs to your audio system’s

turntable (phono) inputs. Doing so may damage your equipment.

13 Connecting your DVD recorder

To enjoy the best picture quality when playing DVDs, you need to connect the DVD

recorder to your TV using one of the following connection (the connection you choose

will most likely depend on the connections supported by your TV).

COMPONENT VIDEO (best picture quality)

Component video connections offer the best picture quality, so if your TV has a

COMPONENT VIDEO input, use it.

S-Video (very good picture quality)

S-Video connections offer better picture quality than composite video, so if your

TV has an S-Video input, use it.

Composite video (good picture quality)

If your TV has neither COMPONENT VIDEO nor S-Video inputs, use a composite

video connection.

Using a Component video cable

1Connect the supplied Component video cable (3) to the DVD recorder’s COM-

PONENT VIDEO outputs socket.

2Connect the other end of the Component video cable to a COMPONENT

VIDEO input on your TV.

15 Connecting your DVD recorder

You can connect a VCR to the DVD recorder’s IN-EXT 2 and OUT 2 sockets.

If you have an S-VHS VCR, you could connect the DVD recorder’s S-VIDEO output

to an S-Video input on the VCR, and connect the DVD recorder’s AUDIO L/R outputs

to analog audio inputs on the VCR.

You can transfer your home movies to DVD by connecting your camcorder to the AV

sockets on the DVD recorder’s front panel, as shown.

Best picture quality

If you have a DV or Digital 8 camcorder, using its i-link cable (7), connect the cam-

corder’s i-link DV output to the DVD recorder’s DV input.

During the transfer, the original recording dates and times of your home movies will be

recorded on the DVD as subtitles. During DVD playback, you can view this information

by using the Subtitle function.

Very good picture quality

If you have a Hi-8 or S-VHS-C camcorder, using an S-Video cable (5), connect the cam-

corder’s S-Video output to the DVD recorder’s S VIDEO input. And, using an AUDIO

L/R cable (4), connect the camcorder’s analog audio outputs to the DVD recorder’s

AUDIO L/R inputs.

Good picture quality

If your camcorder only has a composite video output, using a composite video cable,

connect the camcorder’s composite video output to the DVD recorder’s VIDEO input.

And, using an AUDIO L/R cable (4), connect the camcorder’s analog audio outputs to

the DVD recorder’s AUDIO L/R inputs.

Connecting a VCR

Notes

Most prerecorded video cassettes and DVDs are copy protected. If you

try to copy them, the message “COPY PROT” will appear on the DVD

recorder’s display.

If the DVD recorder displays the message “NO SIGNAL” when copying a

video cassette:

• Check that the cables are connected securely.

• Try adjusting the VCR’s tracking function.

• The DVD recorder may not recognize the video signal if it’s weak or does not

conform to normal video standards.

When copying DVD-Video discs or prerecorded video cassettes, the pic-

ture is fuzzy and the brightness changes continuously?

• This happens when you copy a DVD or video cassette that uses copy protection.

Playback of the original is OK, but the DVD+R(W) recording will be unwatch-

able. This is normal with copy-protected DVDs and video cassettes.

17 Connecting an AV receiver

To enjoy surround sound (Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG-2), you need to connect one of

the DVD recorder’s digital audio outputs to a multichannel AV amp with an appropriate

surround-sound decoder built-in.

Your DVD recorder has both coaxial and optical digital audio outputs. The format you

choose will most likely depend on the formats supported by your AV amp. You don’t

need to connect both cables, and their sound quality is identical.

1Connect a coaxial (12) or optical (13) digital audio cable from the DVD

recorder’s COAX OUT or OPTICAL OUT to a coaxial or optical digital

audio input on the AV receiver.

You can use a composite video cable instead of a dedicated coaxial digital audio cable.

Surround sound connections

Note

An unpleasant digital noise may be heard if you select a DVD soundtrack that uses

an audio format that is not supported by your AV amp. For example, you select a

DTS soundtrack and your AV amp does not support DTS. The format of the cur-

rently selected soundtrack can be displayed onscreen in the menu bar. Six-channel

(5.1) surround-sound playback is only possible with a multichannel AV amp that sup-

ports Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG-2.

9. Managing the disc contents

When a recording is made to disc, the following additional information is also stored at

the beginning of the recording:

•) Name of the recording

If the TV station does not transmit a name, only the channel number and time will be

stored as the name

•) Length of the recording

•) Record type (Quality)

•) Date of the recording

•) Index picture of the recording

A marker will be set every 5-6 minutes if the “Auto chapters” function is activated in

the “Record settings” menu. This marker is known as a “chapter”.

These markers can be changed when the recording has finished.

It is also possible to add “chapters” later. This means that scenes you do not want to

see during playback, such as commercials, can be hidden or skipped. During playback

you can watch your recording as a continuous sequence without the hidden chapters.

10. Programming a recording (TIMER)

Use “Programming a recording (TIMER)”, to automatically start and stop a recording at

a later date.

The DVD recorder will switch to the right programme number and begin recording at

the correct time.

With this DVD recorder, you can pre-programme up to six recordings within a period

of one month.

To make a programmed recording, your DVD recorder needs to know:

* the date you want to make the recording

* the programme number of the TV channel

* the start and stop time of the recording

* the recording mode (“M1/M2/M2x/M3/M4/M6/FR”)

This information is saved in a “TIMER block”.

Before you begin, make sure the clock is set. If the clock is not set, the “Time/Date”

menu will appear when you press the TIMER button.

General

Question

What is “FR mode”?

FR mode is used when you want to record a certain length of program but you

don’t know how much room remaining on the recording disc. By using this mode,

this unit automatically selects the best suitable recording mode for the length of the

program. You cannot select FR mode, when you set the recording timer of Mo-Fr/

Weekly, and when you set PDC/VPS on. We strongly recommend that you do not

use this function combined with VPS/PDC. In such a condition this DVD recorder

may not perform the task properly.

Programming a recording (TIMER) 54
