Notes:

Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD_+R/RW) disc itself, some

CD-R/RW (or DVD_+R/RW) discs cannot be played on the unit.

Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.

Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped or octagonal).

Doing so may result in malfunctions.

Depending on the recording software & the finalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW or DVD_+R/RW) may not be playable.

DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a personal computer or a DVD or CD

Recorder may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or condensation on the Recorder's lens.

If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc.

(Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

This recorder requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pro-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.

Customers should note that permission is required in order to download MP3 / WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission.

Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.

Regional Code

This unit has a regional code printed on the rear of the unit. This unit can play only DVD discs labeled same as the rear of the unit or "ALL".

Notes on Regional Codes

Most DVD discs have a globe with one or more numbers in it clearly visible on the cover. This number must match your unit's regional code or the disc cannot play.

If you try to play a DVD with a different regiona! code from the unit, the message "Incorrect region code.

Can't play back."

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

Recording

About DVD recording

Nofes:

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.

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 intermission) that may arise from malfunction of this recorder (not recording/editing as intended).

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. The disc format for DVD-

R, DVD+R, 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, or DVD+RW in a regular DVD player.

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.)

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 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 recording and determine the picture quality and how much space the recording will take up on the disc.

Notes for recording

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

23 (Initialize) for how to do this.

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.

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).

Overwrite recording is available using DVD+RW

d ses

When using a DVD+R/RW, the recorder will execute the Menu-making operation to update the new title and editing when removing the disc from the recorder.

Recording time and picture quality

(4.7GB

DVD)

There are four preset recording quality modes:

• XP (Excelent Quality)about 1 hour 20 minutes

• SP (Standard Quality)about 2 hour

• LP (Low Quality) - about 4 hour

• EP (Extend Quality) - about 6 hour iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Editing

Title List and Chapter List

Menu Overview

Using the Title List menu you can edit video content.

The editing features available in the Title List menu depend on whether you are editing video on DVD, and whether you're editing Original content, or a

Playlist.

There are two ways to edit VR mode DVD-RW discs.

You can directly edit the Original content of the disc, or you can create and edit a Playlist. The Playlist doesn't actually change any of the content on the disc, but just controls how the content is played back.

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 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.

Notes:

When editing using the Delete, Add and Move functions, the start and end frames may not be

exactly as set in the start and end point display.

During Playlist playback, you may notice a momentary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.

Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?

No. When you edit a video tape you need one video deck to play the originat 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.
