Precautions for DVD Recorder Use  
Ⅵ Storage & Usage Locations  
The storage and usage of this DVD recorder in the following  
types of location should be avoided.  
● Areas at temperatures which deviate by a significant degree  
above or below the permitted service temperature range  
(i.e., 5°C to 35°C).  
ⅥVideo and audio signals from this DVD recorder’s input terminals can be recorded to  
Precautions Regarding Condensation  
DVD-R or DVD-RW (video mode only). (☞ Page 29)  
ⅥCondensation  
The types of signals that can be used are as follows.  
When cold water is poured into a glass and droplets of  
water form on its outer surface, this moisture is referred  
to as “condensation”.  
Video: Composite video, YC separate, or DV signals (including audio)  
Audio: Analog audio or DV signals (including video)  
● Areas at humidities which deviate by a significant degree  
above or below the permitted service humidity range (i.e.,  
20% to 80% RH).  
● Areas where a large amount of dust or sand is present.  
● Areas where the DVD recorder may come into contact with  
oily smoke or steam, such as in kitchens or in their  
immediate vicinity.  
● Areas that are unstable or where significant vibration occurs.  
● Areas where condensation occurs readily.  
● Areas where strong magnetic fields are generated by  
transformers, motors, or the like.  
● Areas where transceivers, mobile phones, and other  
wireless-communication devices are present.  
● Areas that are subjected to X-ray irradiation or where  
corrosive gases are present. (This precaution must be  
strictly observed.)  
ⅥWhen condensation occurs  
ⅥA wide range of recording methods are supported. The appropriate method is to be  
Condensation can cause water droplets to adhere to the  
DVD recorder’s internal lens, thus making normal  
operation impossible.  
ⅥCondensation occurs easily in the following situations,  
and the appropriate care should be taken.  
• When the DVD recorder is moved from a cold location  
into a warm room.  
• When the room containing the DVD is rapidly heated.  
• When an air conditioner’s air duct is pointing straight at  
the DVD recorder.  
ⅥIn situations where it is likely that condensation will occur,  
remove any DVD that may be present in this DVD recorder  
and then turn the power on. As the interior heats up,  
condensation will be less likely to occur.  
ⅥCondensation is a principal cause of the inability to play  
discs and other similar problems. In this type of situation,  
allow the DVD recorder to remain inactive with its power  
on for several hours. If the problem persists after this  
period of time has elapsed, contact either the store where  
this DVD recorder was purchased or your JVCAuthorized  
dealer.

● The REC, PAUSE, and STOP buttons on the front panel can be used for standard operations. (☞ Page 38)  
● Recording operations can be carried out using the REC CONTROL panel. Furthermore, a keyboard can also be used when  
recording via this panel. (☞ Page 40)  
●
Recording can be operated via the external switch that is connected to the foot switch terminal. (☞ Page 39)  
ⅥThe title and chapter menus can be created either automatically or manually. (☞ Page 43)  
Five different patterns have been provided as display styles for the title and chapter menus. Each of these patterns is characterized  
by different thumbnail characteristics (i.e., number, position, and size) and background images displayed on the title and  
chapter menu screens.  
When a display style is selected during the recording of content to a DVD, this DVD recorder will automatically create the title  
and chapter menus in accordance with this style.  
The DVD MENU screen can be used to modify the thumbnail and background display characteristics of each of the display  
styles.  
In addition, the THUMBNAIL EDIT screen and the CHAPTER MENU EDIT screen can be used to modify the display style and  
thumbnail images for chapter menus, and also to input chapter names and comments. The input of names or comments is  
carried out using a keyboard connected to one of the recorder’s USB terminals.

Generally speaking, the content recorded on a DVD is separated  
into large units referred to as “titles”. A unique number called a  
“title number” is assigned to each of these titles, and as a result,  
any title can be immediately accessed using its title number. In  
addition, each title can be divided into smaller units referred to  
as “chapters”. Similarly, a unique number called a “chapter  
number” is assigned to each of these chapters, and this allows  
any chapter to be immediately accessed using its chapter  
number.  
Each recording made to a disc is stored as a single title. In this,  
each pressing of the STOP button to leave Recording mode  
constitutes a different recording. (This action is also referred to  
as “title closing”.)  
One of six numbers referred to as “region codes” is assigned to  
DVD content to control the global regions in which this content  
may be viewed. If a DVD’s region code does not correspond to  
the region code of the DVD player being used, it will not be  
possible to play the disc.  
● This DVD recorder assigns the region code “ALL” to the discs  
that it records.

Title & Chapter Menus  
Selecting Styles for Title & Chapter Menu  
This DVD recorder can automatically create title and chapter menus in response to recording operations and can save these to the  
disc being recorded.  
When the disc is subsequently played, these title and chapter menus can be used to access specific sections of stored video and  
audio.  
● When recording is stopped using the STOP button or a similar action (i.e., disc closing), a title number and a thumbnail  
(corresponding to the frame at the start of recording) will be created to form part of the disc’s title menu. A single disc can contain  
up to 99 different titles.  
Each recorded DVD contains title and chapter menus that provide information relating to its titles and chapters.  
Whenever recording is carried out, title numbers, chapter numbers, and thumbnails are automatically generated in order to create  
the title and chapter menus.  
Specifically, the frames from the start of individual recordings are used as thumbnails for the title menu.  
In a similar way, the frames at which chapter marks have been inserted are used as thumbnails for chapter menus. (These thumbnails  
may be modified later on.) The title menu will become the top thumbnail of the chapter menu.  
The term “style” is used to refer to a combination of thumbnail characteristics for the title and chapter menus. This DVD recorder can  
● Similarly, if a chapter mark is inserted during recording, a chapter number and a thumbnail (corresponding to the frame at the

a keyboard. The following section, however, will provide a description of recording using the front panel buttons.  
On a DVD, the section of video recorded between the start of recording and pressing of the STOP button to end recording is stored  
as a single title, and a unique title number is assigned to each of these sections. A single disc can contain up to 99 different titles.  
In addition, each title can be separated into a number of different chapters by inserting chapter marks at the appropriate points, and  
each title can contain up to 99 chapters.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m)  
can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power  
rating of the transmitter in watt (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.  
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.  
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and  
reflection from structures, objects and people.  
Where P is the maximum output power rating  
of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the  
transmitter manufacturer and d is the recom-  
mended separation distance in meters (m).  
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as  
determined by an electromagnetic site  
survey,a should be less than the compliance  
level in each frequency range. b  
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equip-  
ment marked with the following symbol:  
　
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.  
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection  
from structures, objects and people.  
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios,  
amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the  
electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the mea-  
sured field strength in the location in which the Model BD-X201ME is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above,  
the Model BD-X201ME should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional  
measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Model BD-X201ME.  
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
