such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or

walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets,

and the point where the cord exits the appliance.

To disconnect power from the mains, pull out the mains cord

plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is

Notes:

• Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) disc itself, some

CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) discs cannot be played on the unit.

• Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.

• Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped or octagonal). Doing so may result in malfunctions.

• Depending on the recording software & the finalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW or DVD±R/RW)

may not be playable.

• DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a personal computer or a DVD or CD

Recorder may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or condensation on the Recorder’s

lens.

• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are

cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc.

(Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

• This recorder requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal

playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different

types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain

pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.

• Customers should note that permission is required in order to download MP3 / WMA files and music from

the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought

from the copyright owner.

cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs format-

ted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with

CPRM.

About DVD recording

Notes:

• This Recorder cannot record CD-R or CD-RW

discs.

• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can

affect playback and/or recording performance.

Please take proper care of your discs.

• The company does not hold any responsibility to

compensate the contents which should have

been recorded, and any losses or damages (e.g.

losses of business profit, or business intermis-

sion) that may arise from malfunction of this

recorder (not recording/editing as intended).

Disc types and recording formats, modes,

and settings

This recorder can play many different kinds of DVD

discs: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW,

DVD-R, DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format

for DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW discs is always “Video

format”—the same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs.

This means that once finalized, you can play a

DVD-R, DVD+R, or DVD+RW in a regular DVD play-

er.

The DVD-RW disc format is Video Recording (VR)

format or Video format. You can change Recording

format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase

the contents of the disc.)

The recording mode is closely related to the disc for-

mat. If the disc format is Video Recording format,

then the recording mode is VR mode; if the disc for-

mat is Video format, then the recording mode is

Video mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not

recordable, and so does not have a recording mode).

These can be changed as required for each record-

ing and determine the picture quality and how much

space the recording will take up on the disc.

Notes for recording

• The recording times shown are not exact

because the recorder uses variable bit-rate video

compression. This means that the exact record-

ing time will depend on the material being record-

ed.

• If you record still pictures or audio only, the

recording time may be longer.

• The displayed times for recording and time

remaining may not always add up to exactly the

length of the disc.

• The recording time available may decrease if you

heavily edit a disc.

• If using a DVD-RW disc, make sure you change

the recording format (Video mode or VR mode)

before you record anything on the disc. See page

19 (Initialize) for how to do this.

• When using a DVD-R or DVD+R disc, you can

keep recording until the disc is full, or until you

finalize the disc. Before you start a recording

session, check the amount of recording time left

on the disc.

• When using a DVD-RW disc in Video mode,

recording time available will only increase if you

erase the last title recorded on the disc.

• The Delete Title option in the Title List (Original)

menu only hides the title, it does not actually

erase the title from the disc and increase the

recording time available (except for the last

recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in Video mode).

• Overwrite recording is available using DVD+RW

discs.

•

When using a DVD+R/RW, the recorder will exe-

cute the Menu-making operation to update the new

title and editing when removing the disc from the

recorder.

EDITTING

VR Mode: Original and

Playlist Editing

Titles, Chapters and Parts

Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or

more chapters. When you insert a disc’s title into the

Playlist, all the chapters within that title also appear.

In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exact-

ly as chapters on a DVD-Video disc do. Parts are

sections of Original or Playlist titles. From the Original

and Playlist menu you can add or delete parts.

Adding a chapter or title to the Playlist creates a new

title made up of a section (ie., chapter) of an Original

title. Deleting a part removes part of a title from the

Original or Playlist menu.

Caution

 When editing using the Delete, Add and Move func-

tions, the start and end frames may not be exactly

as set in the start and end point display.

 During Playlist playback, you may notice a momen-

tary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.

Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?

No. When you edit a video tape you need one video

deck to play the original tape and another to record

the edits. With DVD, you edit by making a ‘Playlist’ of

what to play and when to play it. On playback, the

Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.

About word ‘Original’ and ‘Playlist’

Throughout this manual, you will often see the words

Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and

the edited version.

 Original: content refers to what’s actually recorded

on the disc.

 Playlist: content refers to the edited version of the

disc — how the Original content is to be played.

Adding Chapter Markers

You can create chapters within a title by inserting

chapter marks at the desired points.

Note:

Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals

automatically. You can change this interval from the

Initial Setup menu (see [Auto Chapter] on page 19).

During recording or playing back, at the point you

want to start a new chapter, press CHP. ADD.

A chapter marker icon appears on the TV screen.

Changing T

itle Thumbnails

Each title displayed in the Title List menu is repre-

sented by a thumbnail picture taken from the start of

that title or chapter.

If you prefer, select a different still picture from within

a title.

Press THUMBNAIL to make the currently displayed

picture the one that appears in the Title List menu.

The still picture that you choose appears in both the

Original or Playlist menu.

Tip:

You can also change the thumbnail picture of the title

on the Chapter List menu. Select a chapter on the

Chapter List menu then press THUMBNAIL. The

thumbnail picture of the title that includes the chapter

is changed.
