What is a DVD?
DVD Video (Digital Versatile Disc)
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a storage medium that combines the convenience of the compact disc with the
latest digital video technology. DVD video uses modern MPEG2 data compression technology that enables an
entire feature film to be stored on a single five inch disc.
DVD-R (DVD-Recordable): These discs can only be played back if the recording was made in ‘Video mode‘ and
the recording was finalized.
DVD-RW (DVD-Rerecordable): These discs can only be played back if the recording was made in ‘Video mode‘
and the recording was finalized.
How good is the resolution of DVD compared with VHS?
Audio CD (Compact Disc Digital Audio)
CD-R (CD recordable) Audio/ MP3 files
CD-RW (CD rewritable) Audio/ MP3 files
The razor-sharp digital images have more than 500 lines of resolution at 720 pixels per line. This is more than
twice as high as VHS and even better than laser disc quality. DVD picture quality is easily comparable to the
digital masters produced in recording studios.
What is a DVD+RW?
•
Not all recordable CDs may be played by your player.
DVD+ReWritable uses ‘phase change‘ media, the same technology on which rewritable CDs are based. A high-
performance laser is used to change the reflective properties of the recording layer; this process can be
repeated more than a thousand times.
Disc-related Terms
What is a DVD+R?
Title (DVD only)
Unlike a DVD+RW disc, a DVD+R (write-once DVD) can only be written to once. If it is not finalized after a
recording, further recordings can be added to it. Old recordings can be deleted but they can no longer be
overwritten. The deleted recordings (titles) are marked 'deleted title'.
The main film, accompanying feature content, or music album. Each title is assigned a title reference number
enabling you to locate it easily.
Chapter (DVD only)
Before a DVD+R can be played in a DVD player, it must be finalized in the DVD Recorder+VCR. Once this
process is complete, no further recordings can be added.
Sections of a movie or a musical piece that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of one or several
chapters. Each chapter is assigned a number to enable you to easily locate the chapter you want. Depending on
the disc, chapters may not be labeled.
What can I do with my DVD Recorder+VCR?
Your DVD Recorder+VCR is a machine for recording and playing back digital video discs with ‘two-way‘
compatibility with the universal DVD video standard. This means:
Track (Audio CD only)
Sections of a movie or a musical piece on an audio CD. Each track is assigned a number, enabling you to easily
locate the track you want.
• existing DVD video discs can be played on the recorder.
• recordings made on your DVD Recorder+VCR can be played on other DVD video players and DVD-ROM
drives.
About DVD Recording
Notes on Recording
• The recording times shown are not exact because the DVD Recorder+VCR 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.
Regional code
If the region number on your DVD disc does not correspond to the region
number of this player, the disc cannot be played.
• Discs recorded at high speeds (equal to or greater than 2X) may not be recognized.
• 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 the exact length of the
disc.
ALL
2
• The available recording time may decrease if you heavily edit a disc.
• 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.
Which discs you can use
The following discs can be used in your DVD Recorder+VCR:
Recording TV Audio Channels
Playback and recording
DVD+RW (Digital Versatile Disc + ReWritable)
The DVD Recorder+VCR can record one or two channel audio. For TV broadcasts, this usually means mono or
stereo, but some programs are broadcast in bilingual audio channel. You can record either BIL I, BIL II or both.
Restrictions on Video Recording
DVD+R (Digital Versatile Disc + Write-Once)
• You cannot record copy-protected video using this DVD Recorder+VCR. Copy-protected video includes DVD-

Overview
Overview
Notes on Discs
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 DVD+RW discs with CPRM.
Handling Discs
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.
Copyright Notice
• Audio and video recordings you make using the DVD Recorder+VCR are for your personal use only. You may
not sell, lend, or rent them to other people.
• This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain

Storing Discs
After playing, store the disc in its case.
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct
sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.
Cleaning Discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and
sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center outward.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older
vinyl records.

Cleaning the Unit
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.
To obtain a clear picture
The DVD Recorder+VCR 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.) For details, please contact your
nearest dealer.
Remote Control Operation Range
Point the remote control at the remote sensor and press the buttons.
Distance: Within 23 ft (7 m) of the remote sensor.
Angle: Within 30° in each direction of the remote sensor.
Remote Control Battery Installation
Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control, and insert two AAA
batteries. Make sure the polarities (+ and -) are aligned correctly.
Caution
Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types of batteries (standard,
alkaline, etc.).

VPS/PDC is a service provided by some stations to enable you to perform
timer recordings precisely even if the broadcaster delays the start time of
the programme slightly. The time you enter is the VPS/PDC time so this
must be correct. Not all stations offer VPS/PDC, in which case the player
will start at the time you enter and not the actual start time of the
programme.
If you wish to start recording at a specific time without it being adjusted
by the VPS/PDC system in the event of a delay, switch VPS/PDC off
otherwise the player will not record.

Recording from External Components
What is DV?
You can record from an external component, such as a camcorder or VCR, connected to any of the DVD
Recorder+VCR’s external inputs.
Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to the DVD Recorder+VCR using a
single DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data and control signals.
The i.LINK interface is also known as IEEE 1394-1995.
‘i.LINK’ and the ‘i.LINK’ logo are trademarks.

Make sure the component you want to record from is connected properly to the DVD Recorder+VCR; see pages
15~18.
• The DVD Recorder+VCR is only compatible with DV-format (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners
and Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible.
• You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at a time to the DVD Recorder+VCR.
• You cannot control the DVD Recorder+VCR from external equipment connected via the DV IN jack (including
two DVD Recorders).
• It may not always be possible to control the connected camcorder via the DV IN jack.
• Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or 48kHz (not 44.1kHz).
