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. Regional code of the VCR/DVD Recorder and DVDs This VCR/DVD Recorder is designed and manu-
factured for playback of Region 1 encoded DVD software. The region code on the labels of some DVD discs indicates which type of VCR/DVD Recorder can play those discs. This unit can play only DVD discs labeled 1 or ALL. If you try to play any other discs, the message Incorrect region code. Cant play-
back will appear on the TV screen. Some DVD discs may not have a region code label even though their play-
back is prohibited by area limits. 1 6 otes on DVDs and Video CDs Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers. As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to disc content designed by the software manufacturer, some playback features of the unit may not be available or other functions may be added. Refer also to the instructions supplied with the DVDs and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business pur-
poses may not be played on the unit. 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. I N O T C U D O R T N I RC59000M 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. 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. Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD player?
Generally, DVD-R discs and DVD-RW discs recorded in Video mode are playable in a regular DVD player, but they must be finalized first. This process fixes the con-
tents of the disc to make them readable to other DVD players as DVD-Video discs. DVD-RW discs recorded in VR (Video Recording) mode are playable in some players. This indicates a product feature that is capa-
ble of playing DVD-RW discs recorded with Video Recording format. What are recording modes?
There are two recording modes available using this recorder: VR mode and Video mode. When recording to a DVD-R disc, recordings are always in Video mode. DVD-RW discs can be formatted for VR mode recording or Video mode recording. VR mode recording 3 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-
able (SP, LP, XP) Not playable on regular DVD players Recordings can be extensively edited Video mode recording 3 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-
able (SP, LP, XP) Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing) Limited editing features
, VR Video Many functions of this recorder are dependent on the recording mode. One or more of the symbols
) appear by each function explained
in this manual so that you can see at a glance whether its relevant for the disc loaded. You can find more information on disc formats and recording modes on next page. ote DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for recording on DVD-R/RW discs that was approved by the DVD Forum in 2000. You may therefore experience problems playing recordable DVD discs in some play-
ers. Symptoms include video artifacts, audio and/or video dropouts and playback suddenly stopping. Our company cannot take responsibility for problems playing discs recorded on this recorder in other players. 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 whats actually recorded on the disc. Playlist: content refers to the edited version of the disc how the Original content is to be played. 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 three different kinds of DVD disc:
pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW and DVD-R discs. The disc format for DVD-R discs is always Video formatthe same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD-R in a regular DVD player. By default, the DVD-RW disc format is Video Recording format, though you can change this to Video 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 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 the 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. 7 RC59000M Overview (Continued) 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. 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 24 (DISC Initialize) for how to do this. When using a 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 Erase Title option in the Original (Title) 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). Recording TV audio channels This recorder can record one or two channel audio. For TV broadcasts, this usually means mono or stereo, but some programs are broadcast with a main and a SAP
(Secondary Audio Program) audio channel. If youre recording in Video mode (or in VR mode), you can record either the main audio or the SAP audio. Restrictions on video recording You cannot record copy-protected video using this recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material is encountered during a recording, recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message will be displayed on-screen. Video that is copy-once only can only be recorded using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see below). What is CPRM?
CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble sys-
tem) only allowing the recording of copy once broad-
cast 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 format-
ted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM. Copyright Audio and video recordings you make using this recorder are for your personal use only. You may not sell, lend or rent them to other people.

See Copyright on page 8 for more details. Recording from a Digital Camcorder You can record from a digital camcorder connected to the DV IN jack on the front panel of this recorder. Using the recorders remote, you can control both the cam-
corder and this recorder. Before recording, make sure that the audio input for the DV IN jack is set up (see page 24). ips The source signal must be DVC-SD format. Some camcorders cannot be controlled using this recorders remote.

Playing Your Recordings on Other DVD Players Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs recorded in Video mode. A small number of players can also play DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode, finalized or not. Check the manual that came with the other player to check what kinds of discs it will play. Finalizing a Disc Finalizing fixes the recordings in place so that the disc can be played on a regular DVD player or com-
puter equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive. Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen for navigating the disc. This is accessed by pressing DISC MENU or TITLE. To finalize a disc, refer to Disc Finalize on page 25. Recording from an External Input (Continued) What is DV?
Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this recorder using a single DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data and control signals. The i.LINK interface is also known as IEEE 1394-1995. i.LINK and the i.LINK logo are trademarks. This recorder is only compatible with DV-format
(DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible. You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at a time to this recorder. You cannot control this recorder from external equip-
ment connected via the DV IN jack (including two DVD Recorders). It may not always be possible to control the connect-
ed camcorder via the DV IN jack. This recorder only outputs DVD video from the DV IN jack; signals from the built-in TV tuner, CD, Video CD, and other inputs cannot be output. Digital camcorders can usually record audio as stereo 16-bit/48kHz, or twin stereo tracks of 12-bit/32kHz. This recorder can only record one stereo audio track. Set DV Rec Audio to Audio 1 or Audio 2 as required
(see page 24). Audio output from the DV IN jack is 16-bit only. Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or 48kHz
(not 44.1kHz). Picture disturbance on the recording may occur if the source component pauses playback or plays an unrecorded section of tape, or if the power fails in the source component, or the DV cable becomes discon-
nected. Although DV Rec Audio is set to Audio 2 and Audio 2 signal is not present, DV Rec Audio will be reset to Audio 1 automatically. DV-Related Messages You may see the following messages appear on your TV screen when using the DV IN jack. Camcorder not connected The camcorder is not connected properly, or the cam-
corder is switched off. Too many devices connected The DV jack on this recorder supports connection to just one camcorder. Check tape There is no cassette loaded into the connected equip-
ment. Uncontrollable device This recorder cannot control the camcorder. Try switch-
ing off the camcorder then switching it back on. I G N D R O C E R Updating Information Camcorder is updating information for DV. Camera Mode Camcorder is set to camera mode. Troubleshooting If you cant get a picture and/or audio through the DV IN jack, check the bullet points:
If the source signal is copy-protected, it will not be output through the DV IN jack. Make sure the DV cable is properly connected. Try switching off the connected equipment then switch back on. Try switching the audio input. Make sure that the Sampling Frequency setting is not set to 96kHz (see page 21). ote Depending on the connected camcorder, you may not be able to control it using the remote control supplied with this recorder. 43 VR Mode: Original and Playlist Editing Edits you make to the Original content changes the actual content of the disc. For example, if you erase a title or chapter from the Original content, that title or chapter is erased from the disc, freeing up extra record-
ing time. When you edit the Playlist, on the other hand, you are not changing the content of the disc. For example, when you erase a title from the Playlist (Program), you are just telling the recorder not to play that title; nothing is actually erased from the disc. VR Titles and Chapters Titles in the discs original content contain one or more chapters. When you insert a Original title into the Playlist
(Program), all the chapters within that title also appear. In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exactly as chapters on a DVD disc. Adding a title or chapter to the Playlist creates a new title made up of chapters of an Original title. Erasing a chapter removes chapter of a title from the Original or Playlist (Program). Caution When editing using the Erase, 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. Adding Chapter Markers VR Chapter You can put a chapter marker anywhere in a Playlist or Original title during recording or playback. Once the chapter is marked, you can use the Chapter Search feature, as well as Erase, combine and move chapters in the Original (Chapter) or Playlist (Chapter) menu. You can insert up to 999 chapter markers in both the Original and Playlist contents. 11 Play the title (Original or Playlist). 22 At the point you want to start a new chapter, press CHP.MARK. A chapter marker icon appears on the TV screen. You can also put chapter markers in during recording. 44 VR Using Original (Title) menu The Original (Title) menu is where you build and edit your Playlist, and where you can erase titles and make other changes to the Original content of the disc. You can also play individual titles directly from the Original
