Overview (Continued)
Disc-related terms
Title (DVD only)
The main film content or accompanying feature content
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
on the disc, chapters may not be labeled.
Track (Video CD and audio CD only)
Sections of a picture or a musical piece on a video CD
or an audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number,
enabling you to locate the track you want.
Scene
On a video CD with PBC (Playback control) functions,
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
There are two types of video CDs:
Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)
PBC (Playback control) functions allow you to interact
with the system via menus, search functions, or other
typical computer-like operations. Moreover, high resolu-
tion still pictures can be played if they are included on
the disc.
Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1)
Operated in the same way as audio CDs, these discs
allow playback of video pictures as well as sound, but
they are not equipped with PBC.

Overview (Continued)
About DVD+R and DVD+RW disc
How are DVD+R and DVD+RW discs different?
The essential difference between DVD+R and DVD+RW
is that DVD+R is a record-once medium, while
DVD+RW is a re-recordable/erasable medium. You can
re-record/ erase a DVD+RW disc approximately 1,000
times.
DVD+RW mode recording
• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-
able (XP, SP, LP, EP)
• Playable on regular DVD players
• The edited contents is playable on regular DVD play-
ers only after finalizing
• Recordings can be edited the title/chapter
DVD+R mode recording
• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-
able (XP, SP, LP, EP)
• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)
• Any edited contents are not be compatible on regular
DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter
mark, etc.)
• Limited title/chapter editing features
DVD +R (Double Layer)
Double layer recording technology offers two recordable
layers on a single DVD disc, providing nearly double the
capacity of 4.7GB single layer DVDs. The greatest,
most valuable benefit of double layer recording technol-
ogy is increased capacity. Storage space is nearly dou-
bled with double layer DVD+R media, allowing con-
sumers to burn up to 8.5GB of video on a single
DVD+R disc.

Overview (Continued)
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.

Overview (Continued)
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.

VCR Play System
Your video recorder uses triple colour standards, PAL,
SECAM and MESECAM. During play your video recorder
should select the colour system automatically, however if
you experience problems you may need to do it manually.
AV2 Connection

device to the EURO AV2 socket on the back.
Progressive Scan
Progressive Scan Video provides the highest quality
pictures with less flickering.
If you are using the COMPONENT/PROGRESSIVE
SCAN VIDEO OUT jacks, but are connecting the
recorder to a standard (analog) television, set
Progressive Scan to OFF.
If you are using the component video jacks for connec-
tion to a TV or monitor that is compatible with a pro-
gressive scan signal, set Progressive Scan to ON.
ote
Progressive Scan will not be set when the VIDEO OUT-
PUT switch is set at RGB position.
Caution
Once the setting for progressive scan output is entered,

tray.
2) Press STOP and hold it for five seconds before
releasing it. The video output will be restored to the
standard setting and a picture will once again be
visible on a conventional analog TV or monitor.

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).
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.

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”.
About Windows Media

Audio 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/Windows Media
TM
Audio files
using the software which cannot create a FILE SYS-
TEM, 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
or Windows Media
TM
Audio 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/Windows

Audio files and music from the Internet. Our
company has no right to grant such permission.
Permission should always be sought from the copy-
right 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
