– 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

ment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD R/ RW) disc itself,

Notes for 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 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.  
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  
• The recording time available may decrease if you  
heavily edit a disc.  
• The overwrite recording is available with DVD+RW  
disc.  
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.

Precautions  
Notes on Discs  
Handling discs  
Handling the unit  
Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the  
disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the  
surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.  
When shipping the unit  
The original shipping carton and packing materials  
come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the  
unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.  
When setting up the unit  
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio  
may be distorted during playback. In this case, position  
the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the  
unit after removing the disc.  
Storing discs  
After playing, store the disc in its case.  
To keep the surface clean  
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of  
heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sun-  
light, as there may be a considerable temperature  
increase inside the car.  
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,  
near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in  
contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will  
leave marks on the surface.  
Cleaning discs  
Cleaning the unit  
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic-  
ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean  
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen-  
ter outward.  
To clean the cabinet  
Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,  
use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent  
solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol,  
benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface  
of the unit.  
Yes  
No  
To obtain a clear picture  
The Recorder is a high-tech, precision device. If the  
optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or  
worn, the picture quality will be poor.  
Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended  
after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the  
operating environment.)  
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,  
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static  
spray intended for older vinyl records.  
For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

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 recorder can not read an MP3 file that has a file  
extension other than “.mp3”.

MP3 Disc compatibility with this recorder is  
limited as follows:  
1. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660” and  
“JOLIET”.  
OFF (No display): does not play repeatedly.  
2. If you record MP3 files using the software which  
cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct-  
CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We  
recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which  
creates an ISO9660 or JOLIET file system.  
3. Total number of files and folders on the disc should  
be less than 999.

Timer Recording Troubleshooting  
You can change the settings as required (Mode,

Even though the timer is set, the recorder will not  
record when:  
• There is no disc (or tape) loaded.  
• A non-recordable disc (or tape) is loaded.  
• Disc Protect is set to ON in the Setup menu  
(see page 30).  
Follow steps 2-5 as shown on previous page  
(Timer Recording).  
• Power is turned on. (Please ensure that the set is in  
Standby mode for Timer recording to activate.)  
• There are already 49 titles recorded on the disc.  
You cannot enter a timer program when:  
• A recording is already underway.  
• The time you’re trying to set has already passed.  
• There are already 8 timer programs set.  
If two or more timer programs overlap:  
• The earlier program takes priority.  
• When the earlier program finishes, the later program  
starts.  
• If two programs are set to start at exactly the same  
time, the program entered first takes priority.  
If the disc is damaged, the recording may not complete  
successfully. In this case even though the Check field  
shows “Rec. OK”, it may not be.
