ment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD-R/-RW) disc itself,  
some CD-R/RW (or DVD-R/-RW) discs cannot be  
played on the unit.  
– Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the  
labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.  
Types of video CDs  
There are two types of video CDs:  
Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)  
PBC (Playback control) functions allow you to interact  
with the system via menus, search functions, or other  
typical computer-like operations. Moreover, high resolu-  
tion still pictures can be played if they are included on  
the disc.  
Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped  
or octagonal). Doing so may result in malfunctions.  
Regional code of the DVD Recorder and DVDs  
This DVD Recorder is designed and manufac-  
tured for playback of Region 1 encoded DVD  
Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1)  
Operated in the same way as audio CDs, these discs  
allow playback of video pictures as well as sound, but  
they are not equipped with PBC.

software. The region code on the labels of some DVD  
discs indicates which type of DVD Recorder can play  
those discs. This unit can play only DVD discs labeled 1  
or ALL. If you try to play any other discs, the message  
“Incorrect region code. Can’t playback” will appear on the  
TV screen. Some DVD discs may not have a region code  
label even though their playback is prohibited by area  
limits.

DVR313 Overview  
Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?  
About DVD-R and DVD-RW disc  
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.  
How are DVD-R and DVD-RW discs different?  
The essential difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW  
is that DVD-R is a record-once medium, while DVD-RW  
is a re-recordable/erasable medium. You can re-record/  
erase a DVD-RW disc approximately 1,000 times.  
About word Originaland Playlist’  
Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD  
player?  
Generally, 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 con-  
tents of the disc to make them readable to other DVD  
players as DVD-Video discs.  
Throughout this manual, you will often see the words  
Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and  
the edited version.  
Original: content refers to what’s actually recorded on  
the disc.  
Playlist: content refers to the edited version of the  
disc — how the Original content is to be played.  
DVD-RW discs recorded in VR (Video Recording) mode  
are playable in some players.  
About DVD recording  
This indicates a product feature that is capa-  
ble of playing DVD-RW discs recorded with  
Video Recording format.  
otes  
• This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or  
CD-RW discs.  
What are recording modes?  
There are two recording modes available using this  
recorder: VR mode and Video mode. When recording to  
a DVD-R disc, recordings are always in Video mode.  
DVD-RW discs can be formatted for VR mode recording  
or Video mode recording.  
• 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.  
VR mode recording  
• 3 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-  
able (HQ, SQ, LQ)  
• Not playable on regular DVD players  
• Recordings can be extensively edited  
Disc types and recording formats, modes,  
and settings  
This recorder can play three different kinds of DVD disc:  
pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW and DVD-R  
discs. The disc format for DVD-R discs is always “Video  
format”—the same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs.  
This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD-R  
in a regular DVD player.  
By default, the DVD-RW disc format is Video Recording  
format, though you can change this to Video 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).  
Video mode recording  
• 3 different picture quality/recording time settings avail-  
able (HQ, SQ, LQ)  
• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)  
• Limited editing features  
Many functions of this recorder are dependent on the  
recording mode. One or more of the symbols  
Video  
VR  
(
,
) appear by each function explained  
in this manual so that you can see at a glance whether  
it’s relevant for the disc loaded.  
You can find more information on disc formats and  
recording modes on next page.  
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.  
ote  
DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for  
recording on 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 artifacts, audio and/or video  
dropouts and playback suddenly stopping.  
Our company cannot take responsibility for problems  
playing discs recorded on this recorder in other players.

DVR313 Overview  
Notes for recording  
Restrictions on video 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.  
You cannot record copy-protected video using this  
recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video  
discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected  
material is encountered during a recording, recording  
will pause or stop automatically and an error message  
will be displayed on-screen.  
• Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded  
using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see  
below).  
• 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 25  
(Initialize) for how to do this.  
• 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.  
What is CPRM?  
CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble sys-  
tem) only allowing the recording of ‘copy once’ broad-  
cast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for  
Recordable Media.  
This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that  
you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you  
cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM  
recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs format-  
ted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be  
played on players that are specifically compatible with  
CPRM.  
Copyright  
• Audio and video recordings you make using this  
recorder are for your personal use only. You may not  
sell, lend or rent them to other people.  
• The Erase Title option in the Title List screen 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).  
• This product incorporates copyright protection tech-  
nology that is protected by method claims of certain  
U.S.patents and other intellectual property rights  
owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights  
owners. Use of this copyright protection technology  
must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and  
is intended for home and other limited viewing uses  
only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision cor-  
poration. Reverse engineering or disassembly is pro-  
hibited.  
Recording TV audio channels  
This recorder can record one or two channel audio. For  
TV broadcasts, this usually means mono or stereo, but  
some programs are broadcast with a main and a SAP  
(Secondary Audio Program) audio channel.  
If you’re recording in Video mode (or in VR mode), you  
can record either the main audio or the SAP audio.

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 sur-  
face. 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 DVD 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.

Cable Service Without Cable Box  
Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to  
DVD Recorder  
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 DVD Recorder. Use the supplied  
round coaxial cable to connect between the DVD Recorders  
OUT TO TV jack and the 75 ohm antenna input jack on the TV.  
With this connection, you can receive all midband, super band,  
and hyperband channels. (All cable channels.)  
Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the  
1
TV.  
Identify the type of cable from your antenna. If it is a  
2
round cable as illustrated, it is a 75 ohm coaxial  
antenna cable. This cable will connect directly to the  
jack marked ANT.IN on your DVD Recorder.  
Cable Service With Cable Box  
If a converter is required in your cable system, follow the  
instruction below:  
The cable hookup permits both TV and DVD Recorder opera-  
tion.  
To view or record a CATV channel  
ip  
If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable,  
connect it to an Antenna Adapter (300-ohm to 75-ohm)  
(not supplied) and slip the Adapter onto the ANT.IN  
jack. The Adapter does not screw on to the DVD  
Recorder, it just slips over the jack.

Auto Clock Set  
ote  
There are cases where the TV station does not send, or sends  
wrong date and/or time information and the DVD Recorder sets  
the incorrect time.  
The DVD Recorder gives you two ways to set the time  
and date: the Auto Clock Feature or manually. The Auto  
Clock Feature enables the DVD Recorder to set up the  
clock when the DVD Recorder is turned off or during  
PBS channel tuning.  
The Clock Set feature is set to Auto at the factory. In the  
ON setting, the DVD Recorder looks for a channel car-  
rying XDS (Extended Data Services) information. XDS  
updates the clock using the Coordinated Universal  
Time.  
If this happens, we recommend that you set the clock manually.

MP3  
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 .mp3file extension MP3 files.  
The recorder can not read an MP3 file that has a file  
extension other than .mp3.  
The DVD Recorder can play audio CDs. Also, the DVD  
Recorder can play MP3 formatted recordings on  
CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs.  
Before playing MP3 recordings, read the notes on MP3  
Recordings on the right side of this page.  
MP3 Disc compatibility with this recorder is  
limited as follows:  
1. CD-R physical format should be ISO 9660and  
JOLIET.  
Insert a disc and close the tray.  
AUDIO CD or MP3 CD menu appears on the TV  
screen.  
1
2. If you record MP3 files using the software which  
cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example Direct-  
CDetc., 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
