How are recordable discs different?

The essential difference among DVD-R, DVD-RW,

DVD+R and DVD+RW is that DVD-R and DVD+R are a

record-once medium, while DVD-RW and DVD+RW are

a re-recordable/erasable medium. You can re-record/

erase a DVD-RW and DVD+RW disc approximately

1,000 times.

able (SP, LP, EP, XP)

• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalization)

• Any edited contents are not be compatible on regular

DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter

mark, etc.)

Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD

player?

Generally, DVD-R, DVD+R discs and DVD-RW discs

recorded in Video mode are playable in a regular DVD

player, but they must be ‘finalized’ first. This process

fixes the contents of the disc to make them readable to

other DVD players as DVD-Video discs.

DVD-RW discs recorded in VR (Video Recording) mode

are playable in some players.

• Limited title/chapter editing features

ote

DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for

recording on DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs that

was approved by the DVD Forum in 2000. You may

therefore experience problems playing recordable DVD

discs in some players. Symptoms include video arti-

facts, audio and/or video dropouts and playback sud-

Unfinalized DVD+RW discs are playable in a regular

DVD player.

This indicates a product feature that is

capable of playing DVD-RW discs recorded

with Video Recording (VR) format.

denly stopping.

Our company cannot take responsibility for problems

playing discs recorded on this Recorder Combi Receiver in

other players.

What are “Recording modes”?

There are various recording modes available using this

recorder. When recording to a DVD-R, DVD+R or

DVD+RW disc, recordings are always in Video mode.

DVD-RW discs can be formatted for VR mode recording

or Video mode recording.

Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?

No. When you edit a video tape 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. On playback, the Recorder

Combi Receiver plays the disc according to the Playlist.

About word ‘Original’ and ‘Playlist’

• Not playable on regular DVD players

• Recordings can be extensively edited

Throughout this manual, you will often see the words

Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and

the edited version.

Notes for recording

About DVD recording

• The recording times shown are not exact because the

Recorder Combi Receiver 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 record-

ing times may be shorter.

• 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.

otes

• This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or

CD-RW discs.

• Our company takes no responsibility for recording fail-

ure due to power cuts, defective discs, or damage to

the recorder.

• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect

playback and/or recording performance. Please take

proper care of your discs.

Disc types and recording formats, modes,

and settings

• 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 26 (Disc

Initialize) for how to do this.

• 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.

• When using a DVD-RW disc in Video mode, recording

time available will only increase if you erase the last

title recorded on the disc.

• The Erase Title option in the Title List-Original menu

only hides the title, it does not actually erase the title

from the disc and increase the recording time avail-

able (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-RW

disc in Video mode).

This recorder can play five different kinds of DVD disc:

pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, DVD-R,

DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format for DVD-R

discs is always “Video format”—the same as pre-record-

ed DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized,

you can play a DVD-R in a regular DVD player.

The recording mode is closely related to the disc for-

mat. If the disc format is Video Recording format, then

the recording mode is VR mode; if the disc format is

Video mode, then the recording mode is Video mode

(except for DVD-Video, which is not recordable, and so

does not have a recording mode).

Within the recording modes (which are fixed for the

whole disc) are the record settings. These can be

changed as required for each recording and determine

the picture quality and how much space the recording

will take up on the disc.

• The overwrite recording is available with DVD+RW

disc.

Recording TV audio channels

Cards capable of displaying and saving

This recorder can record one or two channel 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.

Readable Cards

• SmartMedia Card (SMC)

• Compact Flash Card (CF)

• Micro Drive (MD)

• Secure Digital Card (SD)

• Multi Media Card (MMC)

Restrictions on video recording

• You cannot record copy-protected video using this

recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video

discs, pre-recorded VHS tapes and some satellite

broadcasts. If copy-protected material is encountered

during a recording, the recording will pause or stop

automatically and an error mesage will be displayed.

• Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded

using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see

below).

Regarding Write Protect

For cards that have a write protect switch, if the switch

is on it will not be possible to write or erase the contents

of the card.

Inserting/Removing the Memory Card

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.

CF or MD

This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that

you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you

cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM

recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs format-

ted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be

played on players that are specifically compatible with

CPRM.

Precautions

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Handling 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.

When shipping the unit

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

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.

Storing discs

To keep the surface clean

After playing, store the disc in its case.

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.

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.

Cleaning discs

Cleaning the unit

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.

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.

Yes

To obtain a clear picture

The Recorder Combi Receiver 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.)

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,

thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static

spray intended for older vinyl records.

For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

otes

Be sure to match the speaker cable to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cables are

ꢀ

reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack base.

If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the speakers.

Before Operation

Speaker Positioning

In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers (2 front speakers, 1 center speaker, 2 rear speakers and sub-

woofer).

If you want to play the excellent bass sound, DTS digital surround or Dolby Digital surround, you should connect

a subwoofer.

• Front speakers

According to your listening position set up the speakers for equal distance. And by hearing position set up the

interval between speakers to 45 degree.

• Center speaker

The center speaker and front speakers are ideally the same height. But normally place it above or below the

television.

• Rear speakers

Place left and right behind the listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required

for surround sound playback. For best results, do not install the rear speakers too far behind the listening

position and install them at or above the level of the listener’s ears. It is also effective to direct the rear speak-

ers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.

In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is near to the rear wall set the rear speakers opposite each

other, and set the rear speakers above 60 - 90 cm than the listener’s ears.

• Subwoofer

This can be placed in any front position.

Mini Glossary for Sound Mode

When playing recordings of live music and classic, this mode pro-

vides a feeling similar to actually being in a small concert hall.

Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digi-

tal audio from DTS program sources bearing the trademark such

as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc. DTS Digital Surround deliv-

ers up to 6 channels of transparent audio(which means identical to

the original masters) and results in exceptional clarity throughout a

true 360 degree sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS

Technology, LLC. Manufactured under license from DTS

Technology, LLC.

When playing recordings of live music and classic, this mode provides

a feeling similar to actually being in a large concert hall.

This mode provides a three dimensional effect similar to that of a

movie theater.

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1(or 6)

channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital program

BYPASS (2CH STEREO)

Outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers and

source. If you play DVDs with “

” mark, you can enjoy even

subwoofer.

You can select BYPASS by pressing SOUND MODE on the

remote control.

better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved

dynamic range.

(II)

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels

from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced,

high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial

properties of the original recording without adding any new

sounds or tonal colorations.

MOVIE mode:

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all

programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced

soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete

5.1-channel sound.

MUSIC mode:

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings,

and provides a wide and deep sound space. The Music mode

includes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individual

listening tastes.

MATRIX mode:

The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the

directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to

enhance mono signals by making them seem “larger.” The

Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluc-

tuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause dis-

turbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate

“cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the

audio to mono.

PANO (PANORAMA)

Test Tone

This function allows you to can easily adjust the sound

balance of the speakers from the listener's position.

This control extends the front stereo image to include

the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound”

effect with side-wall imaging. It is particularly effective

for recordings which have strong left- or right-channel

elements in the mix, as these are detected and accen-

tuated by the Panorama process.

Select the test tone mode by pressing TEST

TONE.

A hiss noise comes out for 2 seconds from each

speakers in the following order;

C WIDT (Center Width)

FL (Front Left) → C (Center) → FR (Front Right) →

SR (Surround Right) → SL (Surround Left) →

SW (Subwoofer) → FL (Front Left) ...

This control allows center-channel sounds to be posi-

tioned between the center speaker and the left/right

speakers over a range of eight steps. Step “3” uses a

combination of all three front speakers to give the best

vocal imaging and most seamless soundstage presen-

tation, and is recommended for most recordings. Step

“0” places all center sound in the center speaker. Step

“7” places all center sound equally in the left/right

speakers, just as in conventional stereo.

You can adjust the sound level while the test

2 _{tone is operating. First press LEVEL then press}

the

buttons, so that the sound level from

all the speakers is same from the listener’s

position.

• During the test tone, if you adjust the sound level, it will

be paused in the current speaker channel.

DIMEN (DIMENSION)

If setting is complete, press TEST TONE.

XTS (Excellent True Sound)

This control allows the user to gradually adjust the

sound field either towards the front or the rear. This can

be useful to help achieve the desired balance from all

the speakers with certain recordings that may contain

either too much or too little spatial effect. Step “0” is the

recommended setting, which has no effect on the

sound. Steps 1, 2, and 3 gradually move the sound for-

ward, and steps –1, –2, and –3 move the sound

towards the surrounds.

You can enjoy the vivid stereophonic sound of the

digital original source without any signal distortion.

Each time you press XTS during 2 channel mode,

the setting changes in the following order.

XTS- 1 → XTS- 2 → XTS- 3 → XTS OFF ...

Tips:

Sound Level

You can set the sound level of the desired channel.

ꢀ XTS- 1: When playing the movie with the weak bass

sound relatively to the general music, it

enforces the sense of sound at woofer

for you to satisfy with.

ꢀ XTS- 2: In the mode of 2 CH BYPASS, It creates the

high display effect by playing the sound

source via the rear speakers same as the

front speakers.

ꢀ XTS- 3: You can operate both XTS- 1 and XTS- 2

simultaneously and it can complement the

relative degrading of the sound pitch of the

woofer at the XTS- 2 mode.

About MP3

•

An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the

MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call

files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.

The Recorder Combi Receiver can not read an

MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.

recording or playback.

When you edit the Playlist, on the other hand, you are

when you delete a title from the Playlist, you are just

telling the recorder not to play that title; nothing is actu-

ally deleted from the disc.

Once the chapter is marked, you can use the Chapter

Search feature, as well as Erase, combine and move

chapters in the Chapter List menu.

ote

Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals auto-

matically. You can change this interval from the Initial

Setup menu (see Auto Chapter on page 32).

Titles, Chapters and Parts

Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or more

chapters. When you insert a title into the Playlist, all the

chapters within that title also appear. In other words,

chapters in the Playlist behave exactly as chapters on a

DVD-Video disc do. 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 the

Playlist creates a new title made up of a section (ie.,

chapter) of an Original title. Deleting a part removes

part of a title from the Original or Playlist menu.
