erase a DVD-RW disc approximately 1,000 times.
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.
Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD
player?
Generally, 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.
About word ‘Original’ and ‘Playlist’
This indicates a product feature that is capable of playing DVD-RW discs recorded with
Video Recording format.
What are ‘recording modes’?
There are two recording modes available using this
Recorder: VR mode and Video mode. When recording
to a DVD-R disc, recordings are always in Video mode.
DVD-RW discs can be formatted for VR mode recording
or Video mode recording.
VR mode recording
• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings available (HQ, SQ, LQ, EQ)
• Not playable on regular DVD players
• Recordings can be extensively edited
• Total number of titles on the disc should be less than
99.
Video mode recording
• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings available (HQ, SQ, LQ, EQ)
• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalization)
• Limited editing features
• Total number of titles on the disc should be less than
99.
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 artifacts, audio and/or video dropouts and playback suddenly stopping.
Our company cannot take responsibility for problems
playing discs recorded on this Recorder in other players.

Throughout this manual, you will often see the words
Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and
the edited version.
• Original: content refers to what’s actually recorded
on the disc.
• Playlist: content refers to the edited version of the
disc — how the Original content is to be played.
About DVD+R and DVD+RW discs
How are DVD+R and DVD+RW discs different?
The essential difference between DVD+R and DVD+RW
is that DVD+R is a record-once medium, while
DVD+RW is a re-recordable/erasable medium. You can
re-record/ erase a DVD+RW disc approximately 1,000
times.
DVD+RW mode recording
• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings available (HQ, SQ, LQ, EQ)
• Playable on regular DVD players (finalization)
• The edited contents is playable on regular DVD players only after finalizing
• Recordings can be edited the title/chapter
• Total number of titles on the disc should be less than
99.
DVD+R mode recording
• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings available (HQ, SQ, LQ, EQ)
• 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.)
• Limited title/chapter editing features
• Total number of titles on the disc should be less than
99.
DVD Recorder Overview (Continued)
otes
• This Recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or
CD-RW discs.
• Our company takes no responsibility for recording failure due to power outages, 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
This Recorder can play five different kinds of DVD
discs: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, DVDR, DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format for
DVD-R discs is always “Video format”—the same as
pre-recorded DVD-Video discs. This means that once
finalized, you can play a DVD-R in a regular DVD player.
By default, the DVD-RW disc format is Video Recording
(VR) format, though you can change this to Video format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase the
contents of the disc.)
The recording mode is closely related to the disc format. 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 them
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 recording times shown are not exact because the
Recorder 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 recording 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.
• 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 27 (Disc
Format) 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 available (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-RW
disc in Video mode).
• Overwrite recording is available using DVD+RW
discs.

About DVD recording
DVD Recorder Overview (Continued)
Restrictions on video recording
• You cannot record copy-protected video using this
Recorder. 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).
What is ‘CPRM’?
CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble system) only allowing the recording of ‘copy once’ broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for
Recordable Media.
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 formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be
played on players that are specifically compatible with
CPRM.

DVD Recorder Overview (Continued)
Handling the unit
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.
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 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.
To obtain a clear picture
The DVD Recorder 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.)
For details, please contact your nearest dealer.
Notes on Discs
Handling discs
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.
Storing discs
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 sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature
increase inside the car.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center outward.
Yes
No
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for older vinyl records.

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation
possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However,
you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the
audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds
and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie
at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set

Press AUDIO repeatedly to hear a different audio channel (stereo, left, or right).
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 can not read an MP3 file that has a file
extension other than “.mp3”.
MP3 Disc compatibility with this Recorder is
limited as follows:
1. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660” and
“JOLIET”.
2. If you record MP3 files using the software which
cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “DirectCD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We
recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which
creates an ISO9660 or JOLIET file system.
3. Total number of files and folders on the disc should
be less than 999.
This DVD Recorder requires discs/recordings to meet
certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal
playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically
set to these standards. There are many different types
of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing
MP3 files) that require certain pre-existing conditions
(see above) to insure compatible playback.
Customers should also note that permission is
required in order to download MP3 files and music
from the Internet. Our company has no right to
grant such permission. Permission should always
be sought from the copyright owner.

Notes on JPEG Files
Depending on the size and number of JPEG files, it
may take several minutes for the Recorder to read a
disc’s content. If you don’t see an On-Screen Display
after several minutes, some of the files are too big —
reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 4
mega pixels and burn another disc.
The total number of files and folders are not restricted
but the total number of files on the folder should be
less than 999.
Some discs may be incompatible due to different
recording formats or the condition of the discs.
If you are using software such as “Easy CD Creator”
to burn JPEG files on a CD-R, ensure that all selected files have the “.jpg” or “.jpeg” extension before
copying them into the CD layout.
If the files have “.jpe” extensions, please rename
them as “.jpg” or “.jpeg” files.
File names without the “.jpg” or “.jpeg” extension
cannot be read by this Recorder, even though the
files are shown as JPEG image files in Windows
Explorer®.

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 delete, combine and move
chapters in the Chapter List-Original or Chapter ListPlaylist menu.
You can insert up to 999 chapter markers in both the
Original and Playlist contents.
VR
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.
Caution
• When editing using the Delete, Add, or Move functions, the start and end frames may not be exactly as
set in the starting and ending points display.
• During Playlist playback, you may notice a momentary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.

EDITING
Edits you make to the Original content change the actual content of the disc. For example, if you delete a title
or chapter from the Original content (Title or Chapter),
that title or chapter is deleted from the disc, freeing up
extra recording time.
When you edit the Playlist, on the other hand, you are
not changing the content of the disc. For example,
when you delete a title from the Playlist, you are just
telling the Recorder not to play that title; nothing is actually deleted from the disc.

you add more chapter markers to the Original later,
these are not automatically copied over into the Playlist
