have a region code label even though their playback is  
prohibited by area limits.

How are recordable discs different?  
• Playable on regular DVD players  
The essential difference among DVD-R, DVD-RW,  
DVD+R and DVD+RW is that DVD-R and DVD+R are a  
record-once medium, while DVD-RW and DVD+RW are  
a re-recordable/erasable medium. You can re-record/  
erase a DVD-RW and DVD+RW disc approximately  
1,000 times.

• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalization)  
• Any edited contents are not be compatible on regular  
DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter  
mark, etc.)  
Generally, DVD-R, 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 contents 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.  
• Limited title/chapter editing features  
ote  
DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for  
recording on DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs that  
was approved by the DVD Forum in 2000. You may  
therefore experience problems playing recordable DVD  
discs in some players. Symptoms include video arti-  
facts, audio and/or video dropouts and playback sud-  
Unfinalized DVD+RW discs are playable in a regular

Our company cannot take responsibility for problems  
playing discs recorded on this VCR/DVD Recorder in  
other players.  
What are “Recording modes”?  
There are various recording modes available using this  
recorder. When recording to a DVD-R, DVD+R or  
DVD+RW disc, recordings are always in Video mode.  
DVD-RW discs can be formatted for VR mode recording  
or Video mode recording.  
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 VCR/DVD  
Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.

Notes for recording  
About DVD recording  
• The recording times shown are not exact because the  
VCR/DVD Recorder uses variable bit-rate video com-  
pression. 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.  
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.  
• If you record still pictures or audio only, the recording  
time may be longer.  
• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect  
playback and/or recording performance. Please take  
proper care of your discs.  
• The displayed times for recording and time remaining  
may not always add up to exactly the length of the  
disc.  
Disc types and recording formats, modes,  
and settings  
• 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 26 (Disc  
Initialize) for how to do this.  
This recorder can play five different kinds of DVD disc:  
pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, DVD-R,  
DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format for DVD-R  
discs is always “Video format”—the same as pre-record-  
ed DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized,  
you can play a DVD-R in a regular DVD player.  
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).  
• 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 Title List-Original menu  
only hides the title, it does not actually erase the title  
from the disc and increase the recording time avail-  
able (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-RW  
disc in Video 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.  
• The overwrite recording is available with DVD+RW  
disc.

Connections  
Cable Service Without Cable Box  
ips  
If your cable wire is connected to your TV without a converter  
or descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attach  
it to the ANT.IN jack on the VCR/DVD Recorder. Use the  
supplied round coaxial cable to connect between the  
VCR/DVD Recorder’s OUT TO TV jack and the 75 ohm anten-  
na input jack on the TV. With this connection, you can receive  
all midband, super band, and hyperband channels. (All cable  
channels.)  
Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish  
to connect, there are various ways you could connect  
the VCR/DVD Recorder. Use only one of the connec-  
tions described below.  
Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo  
System or other devices as necessary to make the  
best connections.  
For better sound reproduction, connect the recorder’s  
AUDIO OUT jacks to the audio in jacks of your  
amplifier, receiver, stereo or audio/video equipment.  
See “Connecting to Optional Equipment” on page 18.

Notes on MP3/WMA Recordings  
About MP3  
An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the  
MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call  
files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.  
The VCR/DVD Recorder can not read an MP3 file  
that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.

Title and Chapter Editing  
Edits you make to the Original content changes the  
actual content of the disc. For example, if you delete a  
title or chapter from the Original content (Title or  
Chapter), that title or chapter is deleted from the disc,  
freeing up extra recording time.  
Adding Chapter Markers  
Chapter  
VR  
+R  
+RW  
You can put a chapter marker anywhere in a title during  
recording or playback.  
When you edit the Playlist, on the other hand, you are  
not changing the content of the disc. For example,  
when you delete a title from the Playlist, you are just  
telling the recorder not to play that title; nothing is actu-  
ally deleted from the disc.  
Once the chapter is marked, you can use the Chapter  
Search feature, as well as Erase, combine and move  
chapters in the Chapter List menu.

Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals auto-  
matically. You can change this interval from the Initial  
Setup menu (see Auto Chapter on page 26).

Titles, Chapters and Parts  
Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or more  
chapters. When you insert a 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.
