Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD R/RW) disc itself, some  
CD-R/RW (or DVD R/RW) discs cannot be played on the unit.  
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.  
Depending on the recording software & the finalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW or DVD R/RW) may  
not be playable.  
DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a personal computer or a DVD or CD Recorder  
may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or condensation on the Recorder’s lens.  
If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases  
in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check  
with the software publisher for more detailed information.)  
This recorder requires discs and 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 WMA files) and these require certain pre-  
existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.  
Customers should note that permission is required in order to download MP3 / WMA files and music from the  
Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the  
copyright owner.

or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel  
surround-sound audio, HDMI features include  
uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5  
gigabytes per second, one connector (instead of several  
cables and connectors), and communication between the  
AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.  
The arrow on the cable connector body should face  
up for correct alignment with the connector on the  
recorder.

Notes for recording  
Recording  
About DVD 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.  
Notes:  
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.  
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.  
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 format”—the 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.)  
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).  
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.  
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 .

Titles, Chapters and Parts  
You can create chapters within a title by inserting  
chapter marks at the desired points.  
Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or  
more chapters. When you insert a disc’s 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.  
Note:  
Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals  
automatically. You can change this interval from the  
Initial Setup menu (see “Auto Chapter” on page 22).  
During recording or playing back, at the point you  
want to start a new chapter, press CHP ADD.  
A chapter marker icon appears on the TV screen.  
Caution  
Changing Title Thumbnails  
When editing using the Delete, Add and Move  
functions, the start and end frames may not be

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.  
If you prefer, select a different still picture from within  
a title.  
Press THUMBNAIL to make the currently displayed  
picture the one that appears in the Title List menu.  
The still picture that you choose appears in both the  
Original or Playlist menu.  
Tip:  
You can also change the thumbnail picture of the title  
on the Chapter List menu. Select a chapter on the  
Chapter List menu then press THUMBNAIL. The  
thumbnail picture of the title that includes the chapter
