Overview
TV screen. Some DVD discs may not have a region code
label even though their playback is prohibited by area
limits.
Recordable Discs
This DVD Recorder+VCR is a dual-format unit, which
means you can record on DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, or
DVD+RW recordable discs. Look for discs with the fol-
lowing logos:
otes on DVDs and Video CDs
Some DVD and Video CD playback operations may be
intentionally set by the software manufacturer. As this
DVD Recorder+VCR plays DVDs and Video CDs
according to disc content designed by the software
manufacturer, some DVD and Video CDs playback fea-
tures may not be available or other functions may be
added. Refer also to the instructions supplied with your
DVDs and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business
purposes may not be played on this unit.
otes
– The DVD Recorder+VCR cannot record on CD-R or
CD-RW discs.
– DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a
personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not
play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or
condensation on the DVD Recorder+VCR’s lens.
– 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
information.)

DVD-R/-RW, and DVD+R/+RW), some discs cannot
be played on the DVD Recorder+VCR.
– Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the

There are two types of video CDs:
Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)
PBC (Playback control) allows you to interact with the
contents of a Video CD using menus, search functions,
and other special operations. High resolution pictures
can be displayed 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.

Overview (Continued)
Is Editing a DVD like Editing a Videotape?
About Recordable Discs
No. When you edit a videotape 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. During playback, the DVD
Recorder+VCR plays the disc according to your Playlist.
How are +/-R and +/-RW discs different?
+/-R is a record-once medium, while +/-RW is a re-
recordable/erasable medium. You can re-record/ erase
an RW disc approximately 1,000 times.
Can I play my discs in a regular DVD player?
Discs recorded in “Video mode” are playable in most
standard DVD players, but they must be finalized first.
This process fixes the contents of your discs so they
are readable on other DVD players as standard DVD-
Video discs. DVD-RW discs recorded in “VR mode”
(Video Recording mode) are only readable on players
with the “RW Compatible” logo.
“Original” Content vs “Playlist” Content
Throughout this manual, you will often see the words
“Original” and “Playlist” to distinguish between the actu-
al content on your DVD-RW and the edited version.
• Original: Refers to what is actually recorded on the
disc.
• Playlist: Refers to the edited version of the disc —
i.e., how the Original content is to be played.
This logo indicates that a product is capa-
ble of playing DVD-RW discs recorded in
“VR mode”.
About DVD Recording
What are “Recording Modes”?
Two recording modes are available on your DVD
Recorder+VCR: “Video mode” and “VR mode”:
otes
• The DVD Recorder+VCR cannot make recordings on
CD-R or CD-RW discs.
• Our company takes no responsibility for recording fail-
ure due to power outages, defective discs, or damage
to the DVD Recorder+VCR.
• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect
playback and/or recording performance. Please take
proper care of your discs.
About “VR mode”
• Compatible with DVD-RW discs only
• Allows extensive editing of DVD-RW recordings
• Discs are not playable on regular DVD players
• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings are
available: XP (1 hr/disc), SP (2 hrs/disc), LP (4
hrs/disc), and EP (6 hrs/disc)
Disc Types and Recording Formats
The DVD Recorder+VCR can play the following DVD
discs:
1. Pre-recorded DVD-Video discs
2. DVD-R/DVD-RW discs
About “Video mode”
• Compatible with all discs (DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW)
• Provides limited editing features
• Playable on most regular DVD players (after finaliz-
ing)
3. DVD+R/DVD+RW discs
• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings are
available: XP (1 hr/disc), SP (2 hrs/disc), LP (4
hrs/disc), and EP (6 hrs/disc)
DVD-R, DVD+R, and DVD+RW discs are always for-
matted in “Video mode”—the same format as pre-
recorded DVD-Video discs. This means that once the
disc is finalized, you can play it in most standard DVD
players.
ote
Discs formatted in “Video mode” are recorded in the
DVD-Video format, which was approved by the DVD
Forum in 2000. As a result, you may experience prob-
lems playing your discs in some older players.
Symptoms include video artifacts, audio and/or video
dropouts and playback suddenly stopping. Our compa-
ny cannot take responsibility for problems playing discs
recorded on this DVD Recorder+VCR in other players.
DVD-RW discs can be formatted in either “Video mode”
or “VR mode” (Video Recording mode). Keep in mind
that changing between these modes requires you to re-
initialize the disc, which will erase its contents.
What is ‘DoMiNoFX™’?
DoMiNoFX™ is a patented video processing
technology that digitally enhances and refines the pic-
ture quality during recording. This results in visibly
superior recordings, and a dramatic improvement when
recording from noisy source material, such as VHS
tapes or weak TV signals.

Overview (Continued)
Notes for Recording
Restrictions on Video Recording
• The recording times shown are not exact because the
DVD Recorder+VCR uses variable bit-rate video com-
pression. 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
DVD Recorder+VCR. 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 24 (“Disc
Initialize”) for how to do this.
• When using a DVD-R or 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 or 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.
The DVD Recorder+VCR is CPRM compatible, which
means that you can record copy-once broadcast pro-
grams, but you cannot then make a copy of those
recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on
DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode, and CPRM
recordings can only be played on players that are
specifically compatible with CPRM.
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 tech-
nology that is protected by method claims of certain
U.S.patents and other intellectual property 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.
• The Erase Title option in the Original (Title) menu 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
or a DVD-RW disc in Video mode).
Recording TV Audio Channels
The DVD Recorder+VCR can record one or two chan-
nel 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 the Unit
Handling Discs
When shipping 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.
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
Storing Discs
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.
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 sun-
light, as there may be a considerable temperature
increase inside the car.
To keep the surface clean
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
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.
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.

Title and Chapter Editing
About Original vs. Playlist Content
VR
VR
+R
Adding Chapter Markers
Chapter
+RW
Edits you make to the Original content of a DVD-RW
disc in VR mode change the actual content of the disc.
For example, if you delete a title or chapter from the
Original content, that title or chapter is deleted from the
disc, freeing up extra recording time.
You can put a chapter marker anywhere in a Playlist or
Original title during recording or playback. Once the
chapter is marked, you can use the Chapter Search
feature, as well as Erase, combine and move chapters
in the Chapter List-Original or Chapter List-Playlist
menu. You can insert up to 999 chapter markers in both
the Original and Playlist contents.
When you edit a Playlist, however, you are not chang-
ing the content of the disc. For example, when you
delete a title from a Playlist, you are just telling the
recorder not to play that title; nothing is actually deleted
from the disc.
ote
Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals auto-
matically. You can change this interval in the Setup
menu (see Auto Chapter on page 24).
VR
About Titles, Chapters and Parts
Titles in the disc’s Original content contain one or more
chapters. When you insert a title into a Playlist, all the
chapters within that title also appear. In other words,
chapters in a Playlist behave exactly the same as chap-
ters on a DVD-Video disc.
Play the title (Original or Playlist).

At the point you want to start a new chapter,
2 press ADD CHAP.
A Chapter Marker icon appears on the TV screen.
• You can also put chapter markers during recording.
Parts are sections of Original or Playlist titles. From the
Original and Playlist menu you can add or delete parts.
Adding a chapter or title to a Playlist creates a new title
made up of a section (i.e., chapter) of an Original title.
Deleting a part removes part of a title from the Original
or Playlist menu.
