CAUTION

You are cautioned that any change or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.

Note

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a

Class B digital device, pursuant to Part

15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Precautions

On safety

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the recorder and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

• Operate the recorder only on

120 V AC, 60 Hz.

• The recorder is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the recorder itself has been turned off.

• Install this system so that the power cord can be unplugged from the wall socket immediately in the event of trouble.

• If you are not going to use the recorder for a long time, be sure to disconnect the recorder from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

On placement

• Place the recorder in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the recorder.

• If the recorder is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the recorder and cause damage to the video head, tape, and the optical block. Should this occur, the recorder may not operate properly. When you first install the recorder, or when you move it from a cold to a warm location, remove the disc and tape and leave the recorder turned on for about three hours before operating the recorder.

• Do not place the recorder on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes.

• Do not place the recorder in a confined space such as a bookshelf or similar unit.

• Do not place the recorder in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

• Do not place the recorder in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.

• Keep the recorder, discs, and cassettes away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.

• Do not place heavy objects on the recorder.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.

• When you move the recorder, take out any discs. If you do not, the disc may be damaged.

On recording

• Contents of the recording cannot be compensated for if the recording or playback is not made due to a malfunction of the recorder, disc, etc.

• Make trial recordings before making the actual recording.

Copyrights

• Television programs, films, video tapes, discs, and other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such material may be contrary to the provisions of the copyright laws. Also, use of this recorder with cable television transmission may require authorization from the cable television transmitter and/or program owner.

• This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorized by

Macrovision. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.

Copy guard function

Since the recorder has a copy guard function, programs received through an external tuner (not supplied) may contain copy protection signals

(copy guard function) and as such may not be recordable, depending on the type of signal.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This recorder is capable of holding a still video image or on-screen display image on your television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still video image or on-screen display image displayed on your TV for an extended period of time you risk permanent damage to your television screen.

Plasma display panels and projection televisions are especially susceptible to this.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your recorder, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Enjoying Digital Broadcasts

You can enjoy digital broadcasts. Digital broadcasts are better quality, more varied, and more controllable than analog broadcasts. By using digital functions such as rating, closed caption, or audio setting, you can make various adjustments to enjoy a digital broadcast.

To use the digital rating

Digital Rating is controlled by the Rating Region

Table (RRT). The RRT is decided by the broadcaster. This table can be used as parental ratings. For details, see “Digital Rating” of

“Parental” in “Options” setup (page 103).

Note

This recorder cannot receive the program guide table, therefore, you cannot set the rating in advance. But as the dimension that was set once is memorized, the future program will be able to refer this setting.

To use digital closed captions

Digital Closed Caption supports programs that have the caption service. If the support service number is selected, closed captions appear on screen. For details, see “Caption Service” in

“Options” setup (page 105).

Note

Digital closed captions cannot be recorded.

To select digital audio settings

You can adjust audio settings using the OPTIONS menu.

• Dolby Digital (5.1ch) signals will be automatically converted to Downmix (2ch) signal and recorded.

• The HDMI OUT jack cannot output Dolby Digital signals for digital broadcasts. To hear Dolby Digital, use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks.

• HD (High Definition) signal through this recorder is converted to SD (Standard Definition) signal. You cannot record in HD (High Definition).

About MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files

MP3 is audio compression technology that satisfies the ISO/IEC MPEG regulations.

JPEG is image compression technology.

You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-

Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-ROMs/

DVD+RWs/DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-Rs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and

JPEG format.

However, this recorder only plays DATA CDs whose logical format is ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2 or Joliet, and DATA DVDs of Universal Disk

Format (UDF).

See the instructions supplied with the disc drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.

Note

The recorder may not be able to play some DATA CDs or DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write format.

MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files that the recorder can play

The recorder can play the following tracks and files:

– MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) audio tracks.

– MP3 audio tracks with the extension “.MP3.”

– JPEG image files with the extension “.JPEG” or

“.JPG.” z Hints

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the file names, the files will be played in that order.

• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start playback, it is recommended that you create albums with no more than two trees.

Notes

• Some DATA CDs or DATA DVDs cannot be played on this recorder depending on file format.

• Only one session of a multi-session DATA DVD can be played back.

• Only alphabet and numbers can be used for album or track names. Anything else is displayed as an asterisk.

• The recorder will play any data with the extension

“.MP3,” even if they are not in MP3 format. Playing such data may generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.

Before Recording

Before you start recording…

• This recorder can record on various disc types.

Select the disc type according to your needs

(page 12).

• Check that the disc has enough available space

for the recording (page 46). For DVD+RWs or

DVD-RWs, you can free up disc space by

erasing titles (page 58).

z Hint

To play a disc recorded with this recorder on other

equipment, finalize the disc (page 87).

Notes

• Timer recordings will start with or without the recorder turned on. The recorder automatically turns off after a recording has finished.

• This recorder records at ×1 speed.

• This recorder shares a single tuner for both the DVD recorder and the VCR. You cannot record different programs to a DVD and a VHS tape at the same time.

Recording mode

Like the SP or EP recording mode of VCRs, this recorder has eight different recording modes.

Select a recording mode according to the time and picture quality you need. For example, if picture quality is your top priority, select “HQ” (high quality). If recording time is your priority, “SLP” can be a possible choice.

Press REC MODE repeatedly to switch the recording modes.

I want to record with the best possible picture quality, so I’ll select HQ.

Recording mode and recording time

The following table is an approximate guide for the recording time on a single DVD (4.7 GB).

The approximate recording time for DVD+R DL

(Double Layer) discs is as follows:

HQ: 1 hour 48 minutes

HSP: 2 hours 42 minutes

SP: 3 hours 37 minutes

LSP: 4 hours 31 minutes

ESP: 5 hours 25 minutes

LP: 7 hours 14 minutes

EP: 10 hours 51 minutes

SLP: 14 hours 28 minutes

Notes

• When in a recording mode other than HQ, the recorder compresses the audio/video data before recording.

Since the compression rate needs to decrease for fastmoving images or if picture noise is present, recorded data size increases, and available recording time becomes shorter. When recording such pictures, a recording mode offering longer recording time is recommended.

• Situations below may cause slight inaccuracies with the recording time.

– Recording fast-moving or images containing picture noise.

– Recording a program with poor reception, or a program or video source of low picture quality

– Recording on a disc that has already been edited

– Recording only a still picture or just sound

• Since the recording mode for recorded titles is calculated after sampling the recorded data during playback, it may be displayed differently from the mode you selected when recording. However, the actual recording itself is correctly made in the selected mode.

,continued 47

Recording a stereo/SAP program

The recorder can receive and record stereo/SAP programs.

When recording a digital channel, only the selected audio can be recorded. When recording with the timer, “Stream 1” is usually recorded

(page 35).

Stereo programs

When a stereo program is received, the

“STEREO” indicator lights up in the front panel display. If there is noise in the stereo program, press AUDIO repeatedly until the “MONO” appears on the TV screen. The sound will be recorded in monaural but with less noise.

SAP (Second Audio Program)

When a SAP is received, the “SAP” indicator lights up in the front panel display. To record only

SAP sound, set “Tuner Audio” of “Audio” to

“SAP” in the “Setup” display (page 99).

You can enjoy advanced edit functions. First you have two options for a DVD-RW (VR mode) and

DVD-R (VR mode): editing either the original recording (called the “original”), or the playback information created from the original (called a

“Playlist”). Since each is different in nature and offers different merits, read the following and select the one that better suits your needs.

To edit original titles

Edits made to the original titles are final. If you plan to retain an unaltered original recording, create and edit a Playlist (see below). The edit functions available for original titles are:

– Renaming a title (page 61).

– Erasing a title (page 58).

– Erasing a chapter (page 59).

– Setting protection against erasure (page 58).

– Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase) (page 59).

– Dividing a title (page 60).

To create and edit Playlist titles

A Playlist is a group of Playlist titles created from the original title for editing purposes. When you create a Playlist, only the control information necessary for playback, such as the playback order, is stored on the disc. Since the original titles are left unaltered, Playlist titles can be re-edited.

If you erase an original title used in a Playlist, that

Playlist is also erased.

Example: You have recorded the final few matches of a soccer tournament on a DVD-RW

(VR mode). You want to create a digest with the goal scenes and other highlights, but you also want to keep the original recording.

,continued 57

58

In this case, you can compile highlight scenes as a

Playlist title. You can even rearrange the scene

order within the Playlist title. See “Editing a

Playlist” on page 64.

The advanced edit functions available for Playlist titles are:

– Renaming a title (page 61).

– Erasing a title (page 58).

– Erasing a chapter (page 59).

– Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase) (page 59).

– Editing a Playlist scene (page 64).

– Dividing a title (page 60).

– Combining titles (page 65).

z Hint

You can switch the Title List to show original or Playlist.

While the Title List menu is turned on, press ORIGINAL/

DV/D8 Dubbing (DV/D8 t DVD)

Before DV/D8 Dubbing

This section explains dubbing with a digital video camera via the DV IN jack on the front panel. If

you want to dub by way of the LINE IN jacks, see

“Recording From Connected Equipment With a

Timer (Synchro Rec)” on page 53.

To record from the DV IN jack

The DV IN jack on this recorder conforms to the i.LINK standard. You can connect any other equipment that has an i.LINK (DV) jack, and record digital signals.

Follow the instructions in “Connecting a Digital

Video Camera to the DV IN Jack,” and then move

on to the section on dubbing. For more

information about i.LINK, see “About i.LINK” on page 115.

z Hint

If you plan to do additional editing on a disc after the initial dub, use the DV IN jack and record on a DVD-RW

(VR mode) or DVD-R (VR mode). Note that erasing unwanted scenes does not free up disc space for DVD-Rs

(VR mode).

Connecting a Digital Video

Camera to the DV IN Jack

You can connect a digital video camera to the DV

IN jack on the recorder to record or edit from a

DV/D8 format tape. Operation is straightforward because the DVD recorder will fast forward and rewind the tape for you – you do not need to operate your digital video camera. Do the following to start using the “DV/D8 Edit” functions of this recorder.

See the instruction manual supplied with the digital video camera as well before connecting.

Notes

• The DV IN jack is for input only. It will not output signals.

• You cannot use the DV IN jack when:

– your digital video camera does not work with this recorder. Connect the camera to the LINE IN jack and

follow the instructions of “Recording From

Connected Equipment Without a Timer” on page 55.

– the input signal is not in DVC-SD format. Do not connect a MICROMV format digital video camera even if it has an i.LINK jack.

– the images on the tape contain copy protection signals, which limit recording.

About i.LINK

The DV IN jack on this recorder is an i.LINKcompliant DV IN jack. This section describes the i.LINK standard and its features.

What is i.LINK?

i.LINK is a digital serial interface for handling digital video, digital audio and other data in two directions between equipment having the i.LINK jack, and for controlling other equipment.

i.LINK-compatible pieces of equipment can be connected by a single i.LINK cable. Possible applications are operations and data transactions with various digital AV equipment. When two or more i.LINK-compatible equipment are connected to this recorder in a daisy chain, operations and data transactions are possible with not only the equipment that this recorder is connected to but also with other devices via the directly connected equipment.

Note, however, that the method of operation sometimes varies according to the characteristics and specifications of the equipment to be connected, and that operations and data transactions are sometimes not possible on some connected equipment.

Note

Normally, only one piece of equipment can be connected to this recorder by the i.LINK cable (DV connecting cable). When connecting this recorder to i.LINKcompatible equipment having two or more i.LINK jacks

(DV jacks), see the instruction manual of the equipment to be connected.

About the name “i.LINK”

i.LINK is a more familiar term for IEEE 1394 data transport bus proposed by SONY, and is a trademark approved by many corporations.

IEEE 1394 is an international standard standardized by the Institute of Electrical and

Electronics Engineers.

i.LINK baud rate

i.LINK’s maximum baud rate varies according to the equipment. Three maximum baud rates are defined:

S100 (approx. 100 Mbps*)

S200 (approx. 200 Mbps)

S400 (approx. 400 Mbps)

The baud rate is listed under “Specifications” in the instruction manual of each equipment. It is also indicated near the i.LINK jack on some equipment.

The maximum baud rate of equipment on which it is not indicated such as this unit is “S100.”

When units are connected to equipment having a different maximum baud rate, the baud rate sometimes differs from the indicated baud rate.

* What is Mbps?

Mbps stands for megabits per second, or the amount of data that can be sent or received in one second. For example, a baud rate of 100 Mbps means that 100 megabits of data can be sent in one second.

i.LINK functions on this recorder

For details on how to dub when this recorder is connected to other video equipment having DV

jacks, see page 89.

The DV jack on this recorder can only input DVC-

SD signals. It cannot output signals. The DV jack will not accept MICROMV signals from equipment such as a MICROMV digital video camera with an i.LINK jack.

For further precautions, see the notes on page 89.

For details on precautions when connecting this recorder, also see the instruction manuals for the equipment to be connected.

Required i.LINK cable

Use the Sony i.LINK 4-pin-to-4-pin cable (during

DV/D8 dubbing).

Glossary

Chapter (page 41)

Sections of a picture or a music feature that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Depending on the disc, no chapters may be recorded.

Copy protection signals (page 48)

Copy restriction set by copyright owners, etc.

These signals are included in some software or TV programs and restrict recording on this recorder.

Dolby Digital (page 99)

Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in “Dolby Digital” theater surround sound systems. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely, and little deterioration occurs because all channel data processing is digital.

DTS (page 99)

Digital audio compression technology by DTS,

Inc. This technology conforms to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same discrete channels of high quality digital audio.

Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely, and little deterioration occurs because all channel data processing is digital.

DVD+RW (page 12)

A DVD+RW (read “plus RW”) is a recordable and rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO format.

DVD-RW (page 12)

A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The DVD-

RW has two different modes: VR mode and Video mode. DVDs created in Video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be programmed or edited.

DVD+R (page 12)

A DVD+R (read “plus R”) is a recordable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. Contents can be recorded only once to a DVD+R, and will have the same format as a DVD VIDEO.

DVD-R (page 12)

A DVD-R is a recordable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. Contents can be recorded only once to a DVD-R. The DVD-R has two different modes: VR mode and Video mode. DVDs created in Video mode have the same format as a DVD

VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video

Recording) mode allow the contents to be programmed or edited.

DVD VIDEO (page 15)

A disc that contains up to eight hours of moving pictures on a disc the same diameter as a CD.

The data capacity of a single-layer and singlesided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7 times that of a CD. The data capacity of a doublelayer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a singlelayer and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided DVD is 17 GB.

The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, which is a worldwide standard of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its original size. The DVD also uses a variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format, such as Dolby

Digital, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence.

Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental

Control functions are provided on the DVD.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

(page 22)

HDMI is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital connection. The HDMI connection carries standard to high definition video signals and multi-channel audio signals to

AV components such as HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form without degradation.

The HDMI specification supports HDCP (Highbandwidth Digital Contents Protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals.

Interlace format

Interlace format shows every other line of an image as a single “field” and is the standard method for displaying images on television. The even number field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image.

Original (page 57)

Titles actually recorded on a DVD-RW (VR mode) or DVD-R (VR mode). Erasing original titles frees up disc space on DVD-RWs.

Playlist (page 57)

Playback information created from the actual recordings on a DVD-RW (VR mode) or DVD-R

(VR mode). A Playlist leaves the original titles as they are, and contains only the information needed to control playback. A Playlist title takes up very little disc space.

Progressive format (page 98)

Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can show 30 frames/60 fields in one second, the Progressive format can show 60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper.

Title (page 41)

The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the entire album in audio software.

Track (page 41)

Sections of a music feature on a CD (the length of a song).

Grabación de DVD

Antes de grabar

Antes de empezar la grabación...

La grabadora comparte un único sintonizador para la grabadora de DVD y la videograbadora. No es posible grabar programas diferentes en un DVD y en una cinta VHS al mismo tiempo.

Modo de grabación

Esta grabadora dispone de ocho modos de grabación distintos, al igual que los modos de grabación SP o EP de las videograbadoras.

Seleccione el modo de grabación en función del tiempo y la calidad de imagen deseada. Por ejemplo, si la calidad de la imagen es su principal prioridad, seleccione el modo “HQ” (alta calidad).

Si su principal prioridad es el tiempo de grabación, el modo “SLP” puede ser su alternativa.

Presione REC MODE varias veces para cambiar los modos de grabación.

Deseo grabar con la mejor calidad de imagen posible, por eso seleccionaré HQ.

Modo de grabación y tiempo de grabación

La siguiente tabla es una guía aproximada del tiempo de grabación en un DVD (4,7 GB).

El tiempo de grabación aproximado para los discos

DVD+R DL (doble capa) es el que se indica a continuación:

HQ: 1 hora y 48 minutos

HSP: 2 horas y 42 minutos

SP: 3 horas y 37 minutos

LSP: 4 horas y 31 minutos

ESP: 5 horas y 25 minutos

LP: 7 horas y 14 minutos

EP: 10 horas y 51 minutos

SLP: 14 horas y 28 minutos

Notas

• En modos de grabación distintos a HQ, la grabadora comprime los datos de audio/video antes de la grabación. Dado que las escenas de movimientos rápidos o la existencia de ruido en la imagen requieren que las tasas de compresión disminuyan, el tamaño de los datos grabados aumenta y el tiempo de grabación disponible se acorta. En la grabación de estas imágenes, se recomienda un modo de grabación que proporcione un tiempo de grabación más largo.

• Los siguientes casos pueden producir inexactitudes en el tiempo de grabación.

– Grabación de imágenes con ruido de imagen o escenas de movimiento rápido.

– Grabación de un programa con recepción defectuosa, o una fuente de programa o video con imagen de baja calidad

– Grabación en un disco ya editado

– Grabación de imágenes fijas o sonido únicamente

• Debido a que el modo de grabación de títulos grabados se calcula después del muestreo de datos grabados durante la reproducción, es posible que se muestre diferente del modo que seleccionó durante la grabación. Sin embargo, la grabación real se realizó correctamente en el modo seleccionado.
