Important Note for Users in the UK
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp
plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as
follows:
1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 3 Amp,
A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3 Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets,
it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its
place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a
value of 3 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the
fuse at the distribution board should not be greater
than 3 Amp.
Note:The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid
a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a
13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the fol-
lowing code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, pro-
ceed as follows:
• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or
coloured black.
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L
or coloured red.
• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in
the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or
green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the
cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not
simply over the two wires.

or music album.
Each title is assigned a title reference number enabling
you to locate it easily.
Chapter (DVD only)
Sections of a picture or a musical piece that are smaller
than titles. A title is composed of one or several chap-
ters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number to
enable you to locate the chapter you want. Depending

moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sec-
tions called “Scenes”. Each scene available is displayed
on the Scene menu and assigned a scene number,
enabling you to locate the scene you want.
A scene may be composed of one or several tracks.
Types of video CDs

About DVD recording
otes
• This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or
CD-RW discs.
• Our company takes no responsibility for recording fail-
ure due to power cuts, defective discs, or damage to
the recorder.
• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect
playback and/or recording performance. Please take
proper care of your discs.
Disc types and recording formats, modes,
and settings
This recorder can play five different kinds of DVD disc:
pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, DVD-R,
DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format for DVD-R
discs is always “Video format”—the same as pre-record-
ed DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized,
you can play a DVD-R in a regular DVD player.
Notes for recording
• The recording times shown are not exact because the
recorder uses variable bit-rate video compression.
This means that the exact recording time will depend
on the material being recorded.
• When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception is
poor or the picture contains interference, the record-
ing times may be shorter.
• 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.
• The overwrite recording is available with DVD+RW
disc.

Precautions
Handling the unit
When shipping the unit
The original shipping carton and packing materials
come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the
unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.
When setting up the unit
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio
may be distorted during playback. In this case, position
the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the
unit after removing the disc.
To keep the surface clean
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,
near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will
leave marks on the surface.
Cleaning the unit
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,
use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol,
benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface
of the unit.
To obtain a clear picture
The Recorder is a high-tech, precision device. If the
optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or
worn, the picture quality will be poor.
Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended
after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the
operating environment.)
For details, please contact your nearest dealer.
Notes on Discs
Handling discs
Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the
disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the
surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
Storing discs
After playing, store the disc in its case.
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of
heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sun-
light, as there may be a considerable temperature
increase inside the car.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic-
ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen-
ter outward.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for older vinyl records.

AUDIO
Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options.
Set the recorder’s Audio Output according to the type of
audio system you use.
Dolby Digital
PCM: Select when connected to a 2-channel digital stereo
amplifier. The Recorder’s digital audio outputs sounds in
the PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video disc
recorded on the Dolby Digital recording system.
Bitstream: Select “Bitstream” if you connected the
Recorder’s DIGITAL OUT jack to a Dolby Digital
decoder (or an amplifier or other equipment with a
Dolby Digital decoder).
DTS
OFF: If you select “OFF”, the DTS signal is not output
through the DIGITAL OUT jack.
Bitstream: Select “Bitstream” if you connected the
Recorder’s DIGITAL OUT jack to a DTS decoder (or an
amplifier or other equipment with a DTS decoder).
MPEG
PCM: Select when connected to a 2-channel digital
stereo amplifier. The Recorder’s digital audio outputs
sounds in the PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD
video disc recorded on the MPEG2 recording
system.
Bitstream: Select “Bitstream” if you connected the
Recorder’s DIGITAL OUT jack to a MPEG decoder (or
an amplifier or other equipment with a MPEG decoder).
Sampling Frequency
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling
96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice is
made, this unit will automatically convert any 96 kHz
signals to 48 kHz so your system can decode them.
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling
96 kHz signals, select 96 kHz. When this choice is
made, this unit will pass each type of signal through
without any further processing.
DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s sound-
track in the most accurate and realistic presentation
possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However,
you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the
audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds
and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie
at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set
DRC to ON for this effect.
Vocal
Set Vocal to ON only when a multi-channel karaoke
DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will
mix into normal stereo sound.

Notes on MP3 Recordings
About MP3
An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the
MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call
files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.
The recorder can not read an MP3 file that has a file
extension other than “.mp3”.
MP3 Disc compatibility with this recorder is
limited as follows:
1. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660” and
“JOLIET”.
2. If you record MP3 files using the software which
cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct-
CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We
recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which
creates an ISO9660 or JOLIET file system.
3. Total number of files and folders on the disc should
be less than 999.
This Recorder requires discs/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 files) that require certain pre-existing
conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.
Customers should also note that permission is
required in order to download MP3 files and music
from the Internet. Our company has no right to
grant such permission. Permission should always
be sought from the copyright owner.

Notes on JPEG Recordings
Depending on the size and number of JPEG files, it
may take several minutes for the recorder to read the
disc’s content. If you don’t see an on-screen display
after several minutes, some of the files are too big —
reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 4
mega pixels and burn another disc.
The total number of files and folders are free but the
total number of files on the folder should be less than
999.
Some discs may be incompatible due to different
recording formats or the condition of the discs.
When you are using software such as “Easy CD
Creator” to burn JPEG files on a CD-R, ensure that all
selected files have the “.jpg” or “.jpeg” extension
before copying them into the CD layout.
If the files have “.jpe” extensions, please rename
them as “.jpg” or “.jpeg” files.
File names without the “.jpg” or “.jpeg” extension
cannot be read by this recorder, even though the files
are shown as JPEG image files in Windows
