Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the
copyright owner.

About the internal hard disk
drive
Card useable on this unit

However, sometimes there will be no warning signs
of HDD failure.

Recording
ꢀ The maximum number of titles that can be recorded
on the HDD is 255.
About DVD recording
ꢀ Using the HDD allows you to record a maximum of
12 hours continuously.
Notes:
ꢀ This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or
CD-RW discs.
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.
ꢀ 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.
ꢀ 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 21 (Disc
Format) 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.
ꢀ 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).
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.
ꢀ 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. So you must remove the disc
after selecting the recorder’s operation mode to DVD
mode.
About HDD recording
Recording to the internal hard disk drive (HDD) is
basically similar to recording to a VR mode DVD-RW
disc. You have the full choice of recording quality
options, including the manual mode, and of course
you can record, erase and re-record as many times as
you like. The capacity of the hard disk drive means
that you can store many hours of video on it, even in
the higher quality recording modes. To help you
organize the contents, the HDD is divided into ten
genre. You can name and use these genres as you
like—for example, you might have a genre for movies,
another for TV shows, and one for camcorder
recordings.
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 .

Editing
Title List and Chapter List Menu
Overview
Using the Title List menu you can edit video content. The
editing features available in the Title List menu depend
on whether you are editing video on DVD, or the HDD,
and whether you’re editing Original content, or a Playlist.
There are two ways to edit VR mode DVD-RW discs.
You can directly edit the Original content of the disc,
or you can create and edit a Playlist. The Playlist
doesn’t actually change any of the content on the
disc, but just controls how the content is played back.
Editing material recorded on the HDD is similar to
editing the Original content of a VR mode DVD-RW,
with similar commands for erasing and naming titles,
as well as fine control over the content of chapters
within titles for DVD disc.
1. Menu options: To display menu option, select a
title or chapter then press ENTER. The options
displayed differ depending on the disc type.
ꢀ[Combine] Combines two titles or chapters into one

These titles were recorded with a Line Input setting
different to the current setting of the recorder.
During recording, these titles cannot be played.
ꢀ[Hide (Show)] Hides (or Shows) the selected title or
chapter. (page 49)
1. Press MENU/LIST to display the Title List menu.
Playback should be stopped when you do this.
ꢀ[Move] Moves a chapter on the Chapter List-Playlist

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 21).
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
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.

Each title displayed in the Title List menu is

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
is changed.

quality in the audio or video. This means that you can
transfer back and forth without having to worry about
the quality getting worse with each copy ‘generation’.
It also means that copying can be carried out at the

When copying from HDD to DVD, the speed of
copying depends on the recording mode and the kind
of DVD disc you’re using.
If the title’s length is less than 5 seconds, the dubbing

title.
To finalize a disc, refer to “Finalize” on page 22.
Notes:
