the disc. (Check with the software publisher for
more detailed information.)
• DVD-RW/R discs recorded in Video mode cannot be
recorded additionally using the unit.
• Since the recording is made by the variable bit rate

the OSD.
• You cannot record copy-protected video using this
unit. (Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video
discs and some satellite broadcasts.)
• You cannot record videos that includes “copy-once
only” signal.

Hints for Timer Recording
• If there is a power failure or this unit has been unplugged for more than 30 seconds, the clock setting and all timer settings will be lost.
• If a recordable disc is not on the tray or an unrecordable disc is on the tray, the “DVD” indicator on the front panel flashes and Timer
Recording cannot be performed. In some cases, “DVD” indicator flashes momentarily around the Timer starting time as the unit
attempts to record. Please insert a recordable disc.
• If a videotape with a record tab is not in the cassette compartment or there is no videotape in the compartment, the “VCR” indicator
on the front panel flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. Please insert a recordable videotape.
• If you press [
] and turn on the unit while either DVD or VCR is in timer standby mode, disappears. In this case, you cannot
change the mode between DVD and VCR. You cannot change any settings using [SETUP] or edit discs.
• After step 9 on page 34, you can turn on the power to use the side of the unit that is free from Timer Recording (either DVD or
VCR) for another recording by pressing [
] during timer standby. During Timer Recording, press [SOURCE] on the front panel,
or [DVD] or [VCR] on the remote control. Note that you cannot change channels after Timer Recording started. You can use all
recording/recording pause/OTR functions. However, the unit will begin receiving channel signals for Timer Recording 2 minutes before
the programmed starting time. Unless the program that you are currently recording using the Timer Recording free side of the unit is on
the same channel with the one programmed for Timer Recording, the unit prioritizes Timer Recording and the current recording will be
automatically stopped. If the channels set for Timer recording and the current recording are same, the current recording will continue
without interruption.
• When all the Timer Recording is completed,
flashes. To play or eject the recorded disc, press [ ] first, and then press
[PLAY B] or [OPEN/CLOSE A].
• If both DVD and VCR are timer programmed, you cannot use any functions for either unit during timer standby or Timer Recording. If
you want to use functions other than recording under such condition, cancel Timer Recording by pressing [TIMER SET] during timer
standby or stop recording by pressing [STOP C] on the front panel during Timer Recording.
• When the starting and ending time are same, the recording will be set for 24 hours. When the disc reaches the end during the
recording, the unit turns itself off. If you want to continue the recording, cancel timer standby by pressing [TIMER SET], insert a new
disc, and then press [TIMER SET] again. If you are recording on a tape, the unit automatically ejects the tape when it reaches the end.
You can continue the recording by inserting a new tape.
• When the programmed starting and ending time are earlier than the current time, the setting will not be accepted and be cleared for
redoing.
• If the starting time is earlier and the ending time is later than the current time, the recording will start right after you press [TIMER SET].
• The Timer Recording cannot be performed in DVD and VCR at the same time. If you set two programming with the same channel and
time in both units, the program with a lower program number will be recorded.

Hints for DV dubbing
The unit does not send out the output signal to DV camcorder.
For the proper operation, connect DV camcorder to the unit directly. Do not connect this unit and DV camcorder
via any other unit.
Do not connect more than one DV camcorder.
The unit can only accept DV camcorder. Other DV equipment such as Set-top Box or D-VHS VCR cannot be
recognized.
If no video signal is detected from the DV camcorder during DVC to DVD dubbing, the recording will be paused and
“I” will flash on the screen. The recording will resume when the unit detects the video signal again.
When the DV camcorder is in Camera mode, refer to “Guide to DV and On-Screen Display” on page 43.
You cannot dub from DVC to the both DVD and VCR format at the same time.
You cannot change the output mode during DVC to VCR dubbing. If you want to switch to the DVD mode, stop the
VCR first.
During DVC to VCR dubbing, you cannot change channels while paused.
When output is in DVD mode while playing back a DVD using E3(DV-IN), you cannot switch to the VCR mode.
If you are using anything other than E3(DV-IN) to playback DVD, you can switch to the VCR mode, but cannot select
E3(DV-IN) channel. (You can select E3(DV-IN) after switching to the DVD mode during VCR playback.)
You cannot dub from DVC during timer standby mode.
During timer standby of either component, you cannot select E3(DV-IN) even on the component which is not in
timer standby.
Date / time and cassette memory data will not be recorded.
Pictures with a copy-guard signal cannot be recorded.
A DV terminal is a terminal that can use the transmission mode conforming to the IEEE 1394 standard called
“Fire Wire”. It serves as the interface that connects the PC and peripheral equipment such as “i.Link” (registered
trademark of SONY). It enables digital dubbing between DV devices with little degradation.

Hints
DivX
®
is a codec (compression/decompression) that
can compress images to a very small amount of data.
The software can compress video data from almost any
sources to the size that can be sent on the Internet
without compromising visual quality of the images.
A file with an extension of “.avi” and “.divx” is called
an DivX
®
file. All files with the “.avi” extension are
recognised as MPEG4.
Files whose extension other than “.avi” and “.divx” will
not be listed on the DivX
®
menu. However, unplayable
groups or tracks may be displayed, depending on the
recording conditions.
Even if the file has an extension of either “.avi” and
“.divx”, this unit cannot play it back if it is recorded in
the format other than DivX
®
.
Folders are known as Groups; files are known as
tracks.
A symbol of
is shown on the top of the file name.
A maximum of 255 folders or 999 files may be
recognised in one disc.
Up to 8 hierarchies can be recognised in one folder.
Files in the 9th or deeper hierarchies cannot be played
back.
If the track extends beyond the scope of screen, a
down arrow “L” appears, indicating that the user can
view another part on the previous page. The current
page number and the number of total pages are shown
on the right of the down arrow “L”.
The name of group and track can be displayed up to 29
characters. Unrecognisable characters will be replaced
with asterisks.
You can play back the disc recorded in multi-session.
Playback will be paused if the File List is displayed
during the playback.
It may take a while for audio and images to be output
after you inserted a disc and pressed [PLAY B].
When playing back the files recorded in high bit rates,
the images can be interrupted in some occasions.
Although DivX
®
logo has been obtained for this unit, it
may not be able to play back some data, depending on
the characteristics, bit rates, or audio format settings,
etc.
Use the software recognised by the DivX, Inc. when
you make DivX
®
files.
A DivX
®
file whose file size exceeds 2 GB cannot be
played back.
When using tools or utilities to make up DivX
®
files,
read their instruction manual beforehand.
Never use the MPEG4 tools when you make DivX
®
files. Otherwise, noise or disturbance of the picture and
sound may be generated.
If a large-sized DivX
®
file is selected, it may take a while
to start the playback (over 20 seconds sometimes).
If DivX
®
files written on CD discs cannot be played
back, rewrite them on a DVD disc and try to play back.
