Creating a Photo DVD
You can easily record photos taken by your digital camera on DVDs from a
memory card. You can also create a slide show DVD.
The following types of photo DVD can be created with DVDirect. You can
decide which you intend to create according to a message appeared when
ejecting the disc.
Photo backup DVD ( pages 24, 36)
DVD stored the photos (JPEG file) taken by a digital camera. You can preview
the photo backup DVD created by DVDirect with the display window of
DVDirect or computer DVD drives.
Slide show DVD ( pages 24, 36)
DVD with a photo slide show stored the photos (JPEG file) taken by a digital
camera and can be compatible with common DVD video discs. You can play
the slide show DVD with commercial DVD players and preview photos as a
slide show with a back ground music.
To create a photo DVD, use DVD-R and DVD-RW discs. See “Compatible
writable discs” for details. ( page 47)
Notes
• It takes more time to create a slide show DVD than a photo backup DVD.
• Up to 2,000 photos can be recorded on one disc.

What is “Finalize disc”?
To finalize the disc means to make the created disc playable on other DVD
devices.
When ejecting a disc immediately after recording, DVDirect gives a message
to ask if you wish to finalize the disc or not ( page 16).
You can select to finalize the disc or not according to the purpose.
(You can finalize the disc from the Setup menu ( page 36)).
Generally complete the disc by finalizing.
The finalized disc can be used like DVD-Video or DVD-ROM discs on a DVD
device.
See the following to check if finalizing is necessary according to your
purposes.
Discs require finalizing
• To play the created disc on the general DVD players
• To read the created disc on the general DVD drives of computers
• To distribute the created disc
• To complete the disc 100% (no plan to add videos or photos on the same
disc)
Discs not require finalizing
• To add videos on the same disc later by DVDirect
• To add photos on the same disc later by DVDirect
• In the middle of creating the disc (not playable on the other DVD devices
yet)
The following shows the difference between a finalized disc and an unfinalized
disc.
Note
To use a DVD+RW disc, finalizing is unnecessary; no message to finalize appears when
ejecting the disc, and there is no need to finalize from the Setup menu.
DVDirect can always add videos on the DVD+RW, and the disc can always be played with
a DVD player or the DVD drive of a computer.

Maximizing Performance
Make sure that you use high-speed certified discs for which this operation has
been guaranteed by Sony. For the latest information about these discs, visit the
user support web site. When using discs other than those mentioned above,
DVDirect may limit writing speed to preserve a good reading quality.
We recommend using DVDirect with the latest system software (or referred as
firmware) as some problems encountered when using DVDirect can be solved
simply by updating the system software. The system software updates are
available on the user support web site. See page 54 for details.
Hint
The system software is the built-in software that makes DVDirect work.
The default read/write speed for CDs of this DVDirect is 40× speed. With a
single touch, you can make the read/write speed 48× speed.
Notes
• On rare occasions, some discs may not be able to tolerate 48× speed, causing them to break.
We recommend that you do not use deeply scratched, brittle, or other discs that may break
at 48× speed.
• This function does not guarantee a 48× write speed. Depending on the condition of the disc
you are using, the speed may be lower.
• This function does not increase read/write speed with CD-RW discs.
1 Insert a disc into DVDirect.
The read/write speed when you insert a disc is normally 40× speed.
2 Press the eject button for five seconds.
A few seconds later the read/write speed switches to 48× speed.
Hint
When you open the disc tray, the read/write speed reverts to its default of 40× speed.

We strongly recommend that you only use discs for which operation has been
guaranteed. You can obtain the latest list of writable discs for which operation
with this DVDirect has been guaranteed at the user support web site (see
page 54 for details).
Note
You can safely use most disc formats that comply with the appropriate standards with this
DVDirect. However, bear in mind that some commercially available discs do not comply
with the quality or performance standards that are necessary to use with this DVDirect. If you
use such discs, DVDirect may automatically adjust the writing speed, or may not be able to
write at all, etc. Even if discs are successfully written, they may cause errors at the time of
reading.

DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs
Data can be written to or erased from this type of disc repeatedly. Typically, a
new DVD+RW or DVD-RW disc can be rewritten about 1,000 times.
About playback/reading compatibility
CD-R and CD-RW discs created with DVDirect can be read on most CD-ROM
drives. However, some older CD-ROM drives cannot read CD-RW discs.
In addition, CD-R music discs created and finalized with DVDirect can be
played on most CD players, however, there are some CD players and
automobile CD players that do not guarantee or support playback of CD-R
discs.
Further, because of the differences in quality and characteristics between
various CD-ROM drive, CD player, CD-R disc, and CD-RW disc
manufacturers, playback may not be possible depending on the combination.*
DVD-Video discs created and finalized with the DVDirect can be played back
on many standard DVD players. Also, DVD-ROM discs created and finalized
with the DVDirect can be played back on almost all DVD drives.
However depending on the combination of the type of your player/drive and
the disc, playback/reading may not be supported or may not be possible. In
addition, some drives do not support multi-session/multi-border DVD-ROM
discs. In these cases, the drive may only read the first session/border of the
disc.
Further, because of the differences in quality and characteristics between
various DVD drives, DVD players, and disc manufacturers, playback/reading
may not be possible depending on the combination.
*Playback compatibility is not under warranty.
Write speed and compatible discs
• When writing data to disc at high speeds, you must use the appropriate type
of disc.
• Set the writing speed on your writing software. For details about the setting
procedures, refer to your writing software documentation.
• Writing speed may be adjusted automatically according to the quality of the
disc used. Also, writing speed may be limited by the transfer rate of the
computer.
DVD region codes
The playback of DVD-Video (DVD discs) is protected and controlled by a
region code setting. For using DVDirect to play back DVD-Video on your
computer, the region code on the DVD disc, DVDirect and the DVD-Video
play back software must be identical.

With this DVDirect, the region code can be set up to five times, including the
initial assignment (RPC phase 2
1)
standard). After setting the region code five
times, the setting becomes permanent and can no longer be changed. From this
point on, you are only able to play back DVD-Video whose region code
matches the one set at the fifth time.
Do not attempt to make unauthorized changes to the region code. Any
problems resulting from doing so are not covered by the warranty.
Hint
• You can change the region code of DVDirect on it's properties dialog box that is accessible
from the Device Manager.
• The DVDs created in stand-alone operation have the region code “All”.
1) Region Playback Control (RPC) standard.
Playing back DVD-Video
DVD-Video disc playback conditions are sometimes determined by software
manufacturers. Because the drive plays back discs as determined by software
manufacturers, some drive functions may not always perform as expected.
When playing back DVD-Video, refer to the documentation accompanying
each disc.
About copy protected DVDs
Most DVD-Video discs on the market are protected against unauthorized
copy. Attempting to copy protected discs violates copyright laws.
About copy controlled CDs
This product is designed to play back discs conforming to the Compact Disc
(CD) standard. Audio CDs encoded with copyright protection technology are
now marketed by various record companies. Be aware that some of these discs
do not conform to the CD standard and you may not be able to play them back
with DVDirect. When using DVDirect as an audio CD player, only use audio
CDs with the following mark. Some of these discs are encoded in such a way
as to prevent sampling and/or copy, while others can only be played back
under certain conditions. For details, refer to the documentation of your audio
CD.
Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material
on one side with digital audio material on the other side.
However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc
(CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.
