This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or CD-RW discs.
Our company takes no responsibility for recording failure due to power outages, 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 discs: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RAM, DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format for DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW discs is always Video formatthe 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 player. The DVD-RAM disc format is Video Recording (VR) format. By default, the DVD-RW disc format is Video format, though you can change this to Video Recording (VR) format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase the contents of the disc.) The recording mode is closely related to the disc format. If the disc format is Video Recording format, then the recording mode is VR mode; if the disc format is Video mode, then the recording mode is Video mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not recordable, and so does not have a recording mode). Within the recording modes (which are fixed for them whole disc) are the record settings. These can be changed as required for each recording 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 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 recording 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.
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 22
(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 execute the Menu-making operation to update the new title and editing when removing the disc from the recorder or turn off the recorder. Recording time and picture quality There are four preset recording quality modes:
XP Highest quality setting, gives about 1 hour of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).
SP Default quality, sufficient for most applications, gives about 2 hours of recording time on a DVD
(4.7GB).
LP Slightly lower video quality, gives about 4 hour of recording time on a DVD disc (4.7GB).
EP Lowest video quality, gives about 6 hour of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB). You may see a fragmented picture during playing back the contents recorded in EP mode . i g n d r o c e R 33 Restrictions on copying Some video material is copy-once protected: If you want to record copy-once protected material to DVD, you must use a VR mode DVD-RW disc compatible with CPRM Ver. 1.1. You can identify copy-once protected material during playback by displaying disc information on-screen.
PAL format signals from the analog or the DV inputs is not recorded correctly with this recorder.
Video that is copy-once only can only be recorded using DVD-RW disc in VR mode or DVD-RAM disc with CPRM (see below). What is CPRM?
CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble system) only allowing the recording of copy once broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media. This Recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode or DVD-RAM discs, and CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM. Copyright

The thumbnail picture of the title that includes the chapter is changed. VR Mode: Original and Playlist Editing Titles, Chapters and Parts Titles in the discs original content contain one or more chapters. When you insert a discs title into the Playlist, all the chapters within that title also appear. In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exactly 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 functions, 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 momentary 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
-RWVR RAM Throughout this manual, you will often see the words Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and the edited version.
