About DVD recording
Notes:
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 (Initialize) for how to do this.
•
This Recorder cannot record CD-R or CD-RW
discs.
•
Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can
affect playback and/or recording performance.
Please take proper care of your discs.
•
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.
•
The company does not hold any responsibility to
compensate the contents which should have
been recorded, and any losses or damages (e.g.
losses of business profit, or business intermis-
sion) that may arise from malfunction of this
recorder (not recording/editing as intended).
•
•
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 Delete 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 available (except for the last
recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in Video mode).
Disc types and recording formats, modes,
and settings
This recorder can play many different kinds of DVD
discs: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW,
DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD+R(DL) and DVD-RAM discs.
The disc format for DVD-R, DVD+R(DL), DVD+RW
discs is always “Video format”—the same as pre-
recorded DVD-Video discs. This means that once
finalized, you can play a DVD-R, DVD+R (DL), or
DVD+RW in a regular DVD player. The DVD-RAM
disc format is Video Recording (VR) format.
The DVD-RW disc format is Video Recording (VR)
format or Video format. You can change Recording
format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase
the contents of the disc.)
•
•
Overwrite recording is available using DVD+RW
discs.
When using a DVD+R/RW, the recorder will exe-
cute the Menu-making operation to update the
new title and editing when removing the disc
from the recorder.
•
The recordable time of MLP mode with DVD+R
DL discs is about 11 hours which is similar to sin-
gle layer discs, because the resolution of
DVD+R DL disc is higher than that of single layer
disc.
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 for-
mat is Video format, then the recording mode is
Video mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not
recordable, and so does not have a recording mode).
These can be changed as required for each record-
ing and determine the picture quality and how much
space the recording will take up on the disc.
Recording time and picture
quality
There are five preset recording quality modes:
ꢀ XP – Highest quality setting, gives about
1 hour of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).
ꢀ SP – Default quality, sufficient for most applications,
gives about 2 hours of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).
ꢀ LP – Slightly lower video quality, gives about 4
hour of recording time on a DVD disc (4.7GB).
ꢀ EP – Low video quality, gives about 6 hour of
recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).
Notes for recording
•
The recording times shown are not exact
because the recorder uses variable bit-rate video
compression. This means that the exact record-
ing time will depend on the material being record-
ed.
ꢀ MLP – The longest recording time with the lowest
video quality, gives you about 11 hours of recording
time on a DVD (4.7GB).
•
•
When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception
is poor or the picture contains interference, the
recording times may be shorter.
Note:
You may see a fragmented picture during playing
back the contents recorded in EP or MLP mode.
If you record still pictures or audio only, the
recording time may be longer.

3. Find the place on the camcorder tape that you
want to the recording to start from.
You can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this
recorder using a single DV cable for input and output
of audio, video, data and control signals.
ꢀ This recorder is only compatible with DV-format
(DVC-SD, DV25) camcorders. Digital satellite
tuners and Digital VHS video recorders are not
compatible.
ꢀ You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder
at a time to this recorder.
ꢀ You cannot control this recorder from external
equipment connected via the DV IN jack (including
two recorders).
For best results, pause playback at the point from
which you want to record.
ꢀ Depending on your camcorder, you can use
this recorder’s remote to control the camcorder
using the STOP, PLAY, SCAN and PAUSE
functions.
4. Press z REC once to start recording.
ꢀ Recording is automatically stopped if the
recorder detects no signal.
ꢀ You can pause or stop the recording by press-
ing PAUSE/STEP (X) or STOP (x).

ꢀ In Video mode, the final frame of the recording
may remain displayed on screen for a while
after recording stops.
ꢀ It may not always be possible to control the con-
nected camcorder via the DV IN jack.
ꢀ Digital camcorders can usually record audio as
stereo 16-bit/48kHz, or twin stereo tracks of 12-
bit/32kHz. This recorder can only record one stereo
audio track. Set [DV Record Audio] option to Audio
1 or Audio 2 as required (see page 24).
ꢀ Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or
48kHz (not 44.1kHz).
Troubleshooting
ꢀ 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 the DV cable becomes
disconnected.
If you cannot get a picture and/or audio through the
DV IN jack, check the bullet points:
ꢀ Make sure the DV cable is properly connected.
ꢀ Try switching off the connected equipment then
switch back on.
ꢀ Try switching the audio input.
Recording from a Digital Camcorder
Note:
You can record from a digital camcorder connected to
the DV IN jack on the front panel of this recorder.
Using the recorder’s remote, you can control both the
camcorder and this recorder.
Depending on the connected camcorder, you may not
be able to control it using the Remote Control supplied
with this recorder.
Before recording, make sure that the audio input for
the DV IN jack is set up (see page 24).
Tips:
•
The source signal must be DVC-SD format.
Some camcorders cannot be controlled using this
recorder’s remote.
•
•
If you connect a second recorder using a DV
cable, you cannot control the second DVD from
this one.
•
•
•
You cannot control this unit remotely from a com-
ponent connected to the DV IN jack.
You cannot record date and time information from

You can create chapters within a title by inserting
chapter marks at the desired points.
Titles, Chapters and Parts
Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or
more chapters. When you insert a disc’s title into the
Playlist, all the chapters within that title also appear.
In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exact-
ly 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.
Note:
Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals
automatically. You can change this interval from the
Initial Setup menu (see [Auto Chapter] on page 24).

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 plays the disc according to the Playlist.
