Copyright protection system  
To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an  
HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player  
and the display device (or an AV amplifier) support a  
copyright protection system called HDCP (high-  
bandwidth digital content protection system). HDCP is  
copy protection technology that comprises data  
encryption and authentication of the connected AV  
device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the  
operating instructions of your display device (or AV  
amplifier) for more information.  
Connecting to a TV with an HDMI  
Compatible Port  
[HDMI CONNECTION]  
A simple 1-cable connection with a device having an  
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) connector  
allows digital transfer of both digital video signals and  
multi-channel audio signals. This is the best method  
to connect this unit. It can minimise the deterioration  
of image quality.  
Use the HDMI cable (commercially available) for  
connection.  
Connect the HDMI output jack of this unit to the HDMI  
input jack of TV.  
* HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface  
Note  
• Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is  
possible that some devices with an HDMI input may  
not operate properly with this unit.

this unit  
TV  
• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do  
not support audio output (for example, projectors).  
In connections with device such as this unit, audio  
signals are not output from the HDMI output  
connector.  
• When this unit’s HDMI connector is connected to a  
DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with  
an HDMI-DVI conversion cable, the signals are  
output in digital RGB.  
• If the connected equipment is not compatible with  
HDMI BITSTREAM, DTS sound will not be output.  
• When the power failure occurs, or when you unplug  
the unit, some problems in the HDMI setting might  
occur.

You cannot record copy-protected video using this  
unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Videos and  
some satellite broadcasts.  
If copy-protected material is detected, recording will  
pause or stop automatically and an error message  
appears on the screen.  
You can only record “Copy-once only” video using a  
DVD-RW disc in VR mode with Content Protection for  
Recordable Media (CPRM) or internal HDD.  
When recording a TV broadcast or an external input,  
you can display copy control information on the  
screen.  
CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the  
protection of “copy-once” broadcast programmes.  
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you  
can record copy-once broadcast programmes, but  
you cannot then make a copy of those recordings.  
CPRM recordings can only be played back on DVD  
players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.  
Information on DVD Recording  
Type of Discs  
This unit can record on DVD-RW/-R discs and  
DVD+RW/+R discs.  
DVD-R/+R discs allow you to record programmes  
only once, and the recorded contents can be erased  
although the space left on the disc does not change.  
DVD-RW/+RW discs allow you to record programmes  
repeatedly, and the recorded contents can be erased.  
There are 3 recording formats: VR mode, Video mode  
and +VR mode. VR and Video modes are available  
for DVD-RW discs while as only Video mode is  
available for DVD-R discs. +VR mode is available for  
DVD+RW/+R discs.  
Video mode is the same recording format as used on  
the pre-recorded DVD-Videos you purchase in local  
shops. You can play back the discs recorded in this  
format in most of the DVD players. You will need to  
finalise such discs (see page 47) before playing them  
back in other DVD players. Unless finalised, you can  
record additional materials or edit discs recorded in  
Video mode with this unit. VR (Video Recording)  
mode is a basic recording format for DVD-RW discs.  
VR mode offers advanced editing, and you can record  
and edit material repeatedly, however it is playable  
only on VR mode compatible unit. Finalisation is  
recommended before playing them back in other unit.  
+VR mode is a recording format for DVD+RW/+R  
disc. +VR mode offers basic editing, and it is playable  
in most DVD players. Finalisation is recommended  
before playing them back in other unit.

• The recording times are estimates and actual  
recording time may differ.  
• The audio and video quality becomes poorer as the  
recording time gets longer.  
• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even  
if it is recorded in a compatible format, it may not be  
played back because of the settings of the  
application software used to create the disc. (Check  
with the software publisher for more detailed  
information.)

• Discs recorded in Video mode on this unit cannot  
record additional information using other DVD  
recorders.  
• Since recording is performed using the Variable Bit  
Rate (VBR) method, the actual remaining time for  
recording may be a little shorter than the remaining  
time displayed on the OSD, depending on the  
picture you are recording.  
About the remaining capacity of HDD recording  
time:  
In recording to HDD, the Remaining Capacity Display  
may differ from the actual recordable time as this unit  
adopts Variable Bit Rate encoding, which varies the  
recording (storage) amount of data in accordance  
with the amount of information in the video signal.  
Before recording to the HDD, ensure there is  
sufficient space on the HDD by deleting unnecessary  
titles in advance. (Remaining capacity will not  
increase if you only delete Playlists.)  
Making Discs Playable in Other DVD  
Players (Finalise)  
After recording, you must finalise the disc to play it  
back in other players. (See page 47.)  
You cannot finalise discs in other DVD recorders.

About HDD  
HDD is a special device which has high recording  
density and is suited for long-time recording or high-  
speed cueing but by contrast, has many factors which  
can cause breakage. Use HDD on the premise that  
you should dub the recorded programmes to a DVD  
disc to protect your precious videos.  
HDD is a temporary storage location:  
HDD is not a permanent storage location of the  
recorded contents. Be sure to use it as a temporary  
storage location until you watch the programmes  
once, edit them, or dub them to a DVD disc.  
Be sure to dub (back up) data promptly if you find  
abnormalities in HDD:  
If there is mechanical trouble with the HDD, grinding  
or other sounds may be heard or blocky noise may  
appear on the image. If you continue to use as it is,  
deterioration may continue and eventually the HDD  
may not be used at all. If you notice any symptoms of  
a failing HDD, promptly dub the data to a DVD disc.  
When an HDD fails, recovery of recorded content  
(data) may be impossible.

Recording Mode for Dubbing  
Information on Dubbing  
“High”  
You can copy an HDD / DVD disc to a videotape or  
copy a videotape to an HDD / DVD disc. This function  
will be possible only if the DVD or the videotape is not  
copy protected.  
This unit is compatible with the high speed dubbing  
from HDD to DVD or VR mode DVD-RW disc to HDD.  
With the high speed dubbing, you can dub a title  
much faster than the normal speed dubbing without  
changing the quality of the picture and sound. (e.g. If  
you dub a title recorded in SLP mode to DVD-R or  
DVD+R, dubbing speed will be 32 times faster than  
the normal dubbing speed.) To perform the high  
speed dubbing, set the recording mode to “High”.  
• Duration of high speed dubbing will vary depending  
on the recording mode or the title amount.  
• High speed dubbing is not available when;  
- recording mode is set to other than “High”.  
- dubbing from a video mode DVD-RW/-R or  
DVD+RW/+R disc to the HDD.  
- there is not enough space in the disc.  
- dubbing a title recorded in EP or SLP mode to  
DVD+RW / +R discs.  
• High speed dubbing of an HDD title which has  
bilingual audio is only available to VR mode  
DVD-RW disc.  
Before dubbing, prepare for the recording on the DVD-  
RW / -R disc, DVD+RW / +R disc or the videotape. See  
pages 26 to 27 (HDD / DVD) or page 81 (VCR).  
Difference between “Copy” and “Move”:

Glossary  
Analogue audio  
Finalise  
Region code  
An electrical signal that directly  
represents sound. In contrast,  
digital audio can also be an  
electrical signal, but is an indirect  
representation of sound. See also  
“Digital audio”.  
To make DVDs that have been  
recorded playable in DVD players. It  
is possible to finalise DVD-RW/-R  
and DVD+RW/+R discs with this  
unit.  
Regions associate discs and  
players with particular areas of the  
world. This unit will only play back  
discs that have compatible region  
codes. You can find the region code  
of your unit by looking on the rear  
panel. Some discs are compatible  
with more than one region (or all  
regions).  
HDMI  
Aspect ratio  
(High Definition Multimedia  
Interface)  
The width of a TV screen relative to  
its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3  
(i.e., the screen is almost square).  
Widescreen models are 16:9 (the  
screen is almost twice as wide as its  
height).  
A digital interface between audio  
and video source. It can transmit  
component video, audio, and  
control signal with one cable  
connection.  
Sampling frequency  
The rate at which sound is  
measured by a specified interval to  
turn it into digital audio data. The  
number of samples in one second is  
defined as the sampling frequency.  
The higher the rate is, the better the  
possible sound quality.  
Chapter  
JPEG  
(Joint Photographic Experts  
Group)  
JPEG is a method of compressing  
still image files. You can copy JPEG  
files on CD-RW/-R discs from a  
computer and play back the files on  
this unit.  
Just as a book is split up into  
several chapters, a title on an HDD/  
DVD is usually divided into  
chapters. See also “Title”.  
Title  
(HDD/DVD)  
Component video output  
A collection of chapters on an HDD/  
DVD. See also “Chapter”.  
(Video CD)  
The contents of a Video CD. When  
playing back a Video CD with the  
PBC function, the Title Menu will  
appear automatically.  
Each signal of luminance(Y) and  
component (PB/CB, PR/CR) is  
independent to output so that you  
can experience picture colour as it  
is intended to be.  
Also, due to compatibility with  
progressive video (576p/480p), you  
can experience higher-definition  
picture than that in interlace (576i/  
480i signal).  
MP3  
(MPEG Audio Layer 3)  
MP3 is a method of compressing  
files. You can copy MP3 files on  
CD-RW/-R discs from a computer  
and play back the files on this unit.  
PBC (Video CD only)  
(Playback Control)  
Track  
Audio CDs and Video CDs use  
tracks to divide the contents of a  
disc. The DVD equivalent is called a  
chapter. See also “Chapter”.  
CPRM  
(Content Protection for  
Recordable Media)  
This function enables you to play  
back interactive software using a  
menu screen. See also “Title”.  
Video mode  
CPRM is a scrambling copy  
protection system for the protection  
of “copy-once” broadcast  
programmes (e.g. some satellite  
broadcasts).  
Video mode is the same recording  
format as used on the DVD-Videos  
you purchase in local shops. You  
can play back the discs recorded in  
this format in most DVD players,  
however it offers only limited  
editing.  
You will need to finalise discs  
recorded in Video mode before  
playing them back on other unit.  
PCM  
(Pulse Code Modulation)  
PCM is a format that converts audio  
into digital data. It is mainly used for  
Audio CDs and DAT. This unit can  
play back sounds as realistic as  
possible by converting even  
compressed Dolby Digital and  
MPEG audio to PCM.  
Digital audio  
An indirect representation of sound  
using numbers. During recording,  
the sound is measured at discrete  
intervals (44,100 times a second for  
CD audio) by an analogue-to-digital  
converter, generating a stream of  
numbers. On playback, a digital-to-  
analogue converter generates an  
analogue signal based on these  
numbers. See also “Sampling  
Playlist  
VR mode  
From this list, you can play back  
contents of a disc in your desired  
order or in sequence. It is also  
possible to directly search for a  
specific scene.  
A basic recording format for  
DVD-RW. VR mode offers  
advanced editing, and you can  
record and edit material repeatedly,  
however it is playable only on VR  
mode compatible unit. Finalisation  
is recommended before playing  
them back on other unit.  
frequency” and “Analogue audio”.  
Dolby Digital  
Progressive Scan (576p/480p)  
A type of display that does not split  
each frame into fields, and instead  
scans directly through all the  
scanlines of each frame in order.  
Progressive Scan provides less  
flickering and higher image  
resolution than traditional (576i/  
480i) TV signals. Refer to page 19  
and 78 for instructions on the  
Progressive Scan mode selection.  
A system developed by Dolby  
Laboratories that compresses  
digital sound. It works with stereo  
(2ch) or multi-channel audio.  
+VR mode  
A recording format for DVD+RW/  
+R.  
+VR mode offers basic editing, and  
it is playable on most DVD players.  
Finalisation is recommended before  
playing them back in other unit.  
DTS  
(Digital Theater System)  
DTS is a multi channel surround  
sound system. By connecting to  
DTS decoder, you can enjoy  
dynamic and realistic sound like  
movie theatre. DTS surround sound  
technologies were developed by  
DTS, Inc.
