:: DVD Recording FAQ  
Before you start using the R6530, please take a few moments to review these Frequently Asked Questions. They will help you become  
acquainted with the technology and the capabilities of the DVD Recorder:  
What can I record with my DVD recorder?  
Where do I purchase discs? Are they expensive?  
You can record programs directly from television (from your  
antenna, basic cable, cable box or satellite receiver) and from vir-  
tually any external audio/video source, including camcorders,  
VCRs, DVD players and more. This unit will not copy Macrovi-  
sion encoded or other copy protected material.  
Blank DVD+R and DVD+RW discs are available at most elec-  
tronics and office supply stores. Prices vary but DVD+Rs can gen-  
erally be purchased in bulk for less than $1 each.  
What format is the DVD recording saved in?  
The actual video files are saved in MPEG-2 format.  
What kind of discs should I use?  
Can I record in "real time"? Is there a recording  
buffer?  
Yes, you can record from TV or from external video sources to the  
DVD recorder in real time.  
You can only record on DVD+R and DVD+RW discs. DVD+R/  
+RW is the most compatible recordable DVD format on the mar-  
ket today. They are fully compatible with over 95% of existing  
DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives in computers.  
Do I need to format a disc in order to record?  
What is the capacity of a DVD+R and DVD+RW disc?  
If a disc needs to be formatted, the DVD recorder will do it for  
you automatically when you load the disc. This takes about a  
minute and does not require any action on your part.  
4.7GB, or the equivalent of roughly 6 CDs. You can record about  
one hour at the highest quality (HQ) and about six hours at the  
lowest quality (SLP) on a single disc.  
What are Titles and Chapters?  
What is the difference between DVD+R and  
DVD+RW?  
DVD+R is “recordable” and DVD+RW is “rewritable”. With a  
DVD+R you can record multiple sessions on the same disc, but  
when the disc is full, you cannot record any more on the disc. The  
DVD+RW format allows you to record over the same disc literally  
hundreds of times.  
A DVD disc contains Titles and Chapters, which are similar to the  
Titles and Chapters of a book. A Title is often a complete movie  
and is broken down into Chapters, or individual scenes from the  
movie. If a disc contains multiple Titles, they can be accessed by  
pressing the Title button. To view the contents of a particular Title,  
press the Disc Menu button.  
How do I set up Titles and Chapters?  
What is DVD-R and DVD-RW? Are they compatible  
with this recorder?  
DVD-R and DVD-RW (written with a dash instead of a plus) are  
competing recordable DVD formats. You can play DVD-R/-RW  
discs on this player, but they are not compatible for recording pur-  
poses.  
The DVD Recorder automatically creates a new Title every time  
you start a new recording. You can then add Chapters to these  
recordings manually or have them automatically inserted at 5-  
minute intervals.  
What does "finalizing" a disc do?  
Finalizing a disc locks the discs so it can no longer be recorded. It  
will then be compatible with virtually any DVD player. To close a  
disc without finalizing it, simply stop recording and eject the disc.  
You will still be able to record on the disc if there is room for more  
recordings.  
How do I know how much space is left on my disc  
for recording?  
Load the disc and press Disc Menu to see the percentage of  
recording time remaining on your disc.  
6
                   
How good is the quality of the recording?  
What are thumbnails? How do I create new thumb-  
nails?  
Thumbnails are single frames from your recordings used to iden-  
tify each Title on the DVD+R/+RW disc menu. The DVD  
Recorder allows you to create new thumbnails to represent the  
shows you record.  
There are five quality levels to choose from, ranging from HQ  
(High Quality), which is near DVD quality to SLP (Standard Long  
Play), which is near VHS quality. Choose the quality level that  
best suits your purpose and the length of your material.  
How many times can I record on a DVD+RW?  
What does the Auto Chapter feature do?  
Most disc manufacturers specify that you can record up to 1,000  
times.  
The Auto Chapter feature creates Chapters automatically every 5  
minutes while you are recording. This makes it easy to browse the  
Title later using the Next and Prev buttons.  
What is the basic DVD recording process?  
The basic recording process is to load a blank DVD+R or  
DVD+RW disc, switch the DVD Recorder to Live mode, choose  
the input source you wish to record, set the record quality, and  
press RECORD.  
How do I switch between playing and recording?  
The DVD Recorder has two basic modes: Disc mode and Live  
mode. To switch between these modes, press the Disc/Live button  
on the remote control. Use Disc mode to play or edit discs. Use  
Live mode to watch or record from TV or an external source (such  
as a VCR, camcorder, satellite receiver, etc.) connected to the  
front (Line 1) or rear (Line 2) audio/video inputs.  
Will my DVDs be compatible in other players?  
Yes. If you finalize the DVD it will be compatible with virtually  
all new DVD players.  
How do I hide commercials on my recorded shows?  
Can I copy a DVD from an external player?  
Yes, but only if the DVD is not copy protected.  
The Hide and Show Chapter features are useful for hiding com-  
mercials or unwanted footage from your recordings. Simply create  
a new Chapter at the start of a commercial break, for example, and  
create another Chapter at the end of the commercial grouping. You  
can then Hide the commercial break during playback.  
Can I copy a VHS tape from an external player?  
Yes, but only if the VHS tape is not copy protected.  
Can I copy from a camcorder?  
Yes, you can copy from a camcorder or any external audio/video  
device using the front or rear line inputs.  
What is the difference between hiding a Chapter and  
removing a Chapter?  
Chapters are similar to bookmarks. When you hide a Chapter, the  
bookmark is still there, but you don’t see the Chapter during play-  
back. When you remove a Chapter, it is like removing the book-  
mark. The contents of the disc are still there, but the bookmark has  
been removed.

Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.  
7 Water and Moisture  
Do not use this product near water – for example, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or  
laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.  
8 Accessories  
Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing seri-  
ous injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or  
table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow  
the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.  
A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces  
may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.  
9 Ventilation  
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and  
to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never  
be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be  
placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufac-  
turer’s instructions have been adhered to.  
10Power Sources  
This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power  
supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other  
sources, refer to the operating instructions.  
11Grounding or Polarization  
49  
     
This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating–current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit  
into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If  
the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
12Power–Cord Protection  
Power–supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying  
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.  
13Protective Attachment Plug  
The product is equipped with an attachment plug having overload protection. This is a safety feature. See Instruction Manual for replacement  
or resetting of protective device. If replacement of the plug is required, be sure the service technician has used a replacement plug specified  
by the manufacturer that has the same overload protection as the original plug.  
14Outdoor Antenna Grounding  
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable sys-  
tem is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static  
charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with  
regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to  
an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna–discharge unit, con-  
nection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure 131.1.  
15Lightning  
For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and  
unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable  
system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power lines surges.  
16Power Lines  
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it  
can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching  
such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.  
17Overloading  
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.  
18Object and Liquid Entry  
Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could  
result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.  
19Servicing  
Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer  
all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
20Damage Requiring Service  
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:  
• When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,  
• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,  
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water,  
50  
• If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the oper-  
ating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified  
technician to restore the product to its normal operation,  
• If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and  
• When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.  
21Replacement Parts  
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the  
same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.  
22Safety Check  
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is  
in proper operating condition.  
23Wall or Ceiling Mounting  
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.  
24Heat  
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that  
produce heat.  
Safety/Regulatory Information
