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.)

otes  
– Depending on the conditions of the recording equip-  
ment or the recordable disc (including CD-R/RW,  
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  
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) 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.

This DVD Recorder+VCR is designed and manufactured  
for playback of Region 1 encoded DVD software.

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

• 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.

or descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attach  
it to the RF IN (FROM ANT.) jack on the DVD Recorder+VCR.  
Use the supplied coaxial cable to connect between the DVD  
Recorder+VCR’s OUT (TO TV) jack and the 75 ohm antenna  
input jack on your TV. With this connection, you can receive all  
midband, superband, and hyperband channels (all cable chan-  
nels).

DV-Related Messages  
What is DV?  
You may see the following messages appear on your  
TV screen when using the DV IN jack.  
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.  
• 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.  
Not connected to Camcorder.  
The camcorder is not connected properly, or the cam-  
corder is switched off.  
Too many devices connected.  
The DV jack on the DVD Recorder+VCR supports con-  
nection to just one camcorder.  
Check the tape.  
There is no cassette loaded in the connected equip-  
ment.  
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 connect-  
ed camcorder via the DV IN jack.  
Uncontrollable device.  
The DVD Recorder+VCR cannot control the camcorder.  
Try switching off the camcorder then switching it back  
on.  
• Digital camcorders can usually record audio as stereo  
16-bit/48kHz, or twin stereo tracks of 12-bit/32kHz.  
The DVD Recorder+VCR can only record one stereo  
audio track. Set DV Record Audio to Audio 1 or Audio  
2 as desired; see page 24.  
Updating the information.  
The camcorder is updating information for DV.  
• Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or 48kHz  
(not 44.1kHz).  
Camera mode.  
The camcorder is set to camera mode.  
• Picture disturbance on the recording may occur if the  
source component pauses playback or plays an  
unrecorded section of tape, or if the power fails in the  
source component, or if the DV cable becomes dis-  
connected.  
• If DV Record Audio is set to Audio 2 and the Audio 2  
signal is not present, DV Record Audio will be reset to  
Audio 1 automatically.  
Troubleshooting  
If you cannot get a picture and/or audio through the DV  
IN jack, check the following:  
• Make sure the DV cable is properly connected.  
• Try switching off the connected equipment then  
switching it back on.  
• Try switching the audio input.

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.
