which is based on the new MPEG-4 compression  
standard for video.You will be able to play DivX  
movies using this recorder.  
DVD +R (Double Layer)  
Double layer recording technology offers two record-  
able 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 technology is increased capacity. Storage  
space is nearly doubled with double layer DVD+R  
media, allowing consumers to burn up to 8.5GB of  
video on a single DVD+R disc.  
PBC: Playback Control (Video CD only)  
Playback control is available for Video CD (VCD) ver-  
sion 2.0 disc formats. PBC allows you to interact with  
the system via menus, search functions, or other typi-  
cal computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures  
of high resolution can be played if they are included  
in the disc. Video CDs not equipped with PBC  
DVD R / DVD RW  
(Version 1.1) operate in the same way as audio CDs.  
DVD -R and DVD +R are two different standards for  
recordable DVD drives and discs. This format allows  
information to be recorded onto the DVD disc only  
once. DVD +RW and DVD -RW are two standards for  
re-writable media, meaning the DVD content can be  
erased and re-recorded. Single-sided discs can hold  
4.7 GB and double-sided discs hold twice as much.  
Title (DVD video discs only)  
A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc.  
For example the main feature could be title 1, a docu-  
mentary describing how the film was made could be  
title 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each title  
is assigned a reference number enabling you to  
locate it easily.  
VCD (Video CD)  
A VCD holds up to 74 minutes (650 MB disc) or 80  
minutes (700 MB disc) of MPEG-1 full-motion video  
along with quality stereo sound.  
Chapter (DVD video discs only)  
A chapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in a  
film or one interview in a series. Each chapter is  
assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate  
the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chap-  
ters may not be recorded.  
MPEG  
MPEG is an international standard for video and  
audio compression. MPEG-1 is used in encoding  
video for VCD and provides for multichannel surround  
sound coding such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and  
MPEG audio.  
Scene (VCD)  
On a video CD with PBC (playback control) functions,  
moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sec-  
tions called “scenes”. Each scene is displayed in the  
menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling  
you to locate the scene you want. A scene is com-  
posed of one or several tracks.  
MP3  
MP3 is a popular compression format used for digital  
audio files that yields very high near-CD quality.  
WMA  
Track  
Windows media audio file. A type of coding / decod-  
ing developed by Microsoft Corp.  
A distinct element of audiovisual information, such as  
the picture or sound track for a specific language  
(DVD), or a musical piece on a video or audio CD.  
Each track is assigned a track number, enabling you  
to locate the track you want. DVD discs allow one  
track of video (with multiple angles) and several  
tracks of audio.

Recording  
About DVD recording  
Notes for recording  
The recording times shown are not exact because  
the recorder uses variable bit-rate video compres-  
sion. This means that the exact recording time will  
depend on the material being recorded.  
Notes:  
This Recorder cannot record CD-R or CD-RW  
discs.  
Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can  
affect playback and/or recording performance.  
Please take proper care of your discs.  
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 company does not hold any responsibility to  
compensate the contents which should have been  
recorded, and any losses or damages (e.g. losses  
of business profit, or business intermission) that  
may arise from malfunction of this recorder (not  
recording/editing as intended).  
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  
25 (Initialize) for how to do this.  
Disc types and recording formats, modes,  
and settings  
This recorder can play many different kinds of DVD  
discs: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW,  
DVD-R, DVD+RW and DVD+R(DL) discs. The disc  
format for DVD-R, DVD+R(DL), 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-RW disc format is Video Recording (VR)  
format or Video format. You can change Recording  
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 format, then the recording mode is  
Video mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not  
recordable, and so does not have a recording mode).  
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.  
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 exe-  
cute the Menu-making operation to update the  
new title and editing when removing the disc from  
the recorder.

You can create chapters within a title by inserting  
chapter marks at the desired points.  
Titles, Chapters and Parts  
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 exact-  
ly 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 24).  
During recording or playing back, at the point you  
want to start a new chapter, press CHP. ADD.

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.  
Tip:  
You can also change the thumbnail picture of the title  
on the Chapter List menu. Select a chapter on the
