About this product

Some differences
Because of its recording capacity, this DVD recorder operates more like a computer and differently than a standard DVD player. In addition to containing a microprocessor, it contains an operating system, random access memory (RAM), and a DVD-RAM/R/RW drive. The operating system includes software that is transferred to the RAM when the machine is turned on and at other times during operation. This transfer can take time. Therefore, when you turn the DVD recorder on, it may take a little while before it is ready to use. Likewise, other functions may not be performed as quickly as they would on other AV equipment. Additionally, accessing those programs (or deleting a program from a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc) may take more time. Please take these factors into consideration as you use the DVD recorder.

Compatibility

In isolated cases, a disc bearing the DVD or CD logo may not fully and properly play back all features or as intended by the creator of the disc. This can be due, among other reasons, to problems and errors that can occur during the creation or recording of DVD and other software and the manufacture of software discs (including blank discs). Moreover, because of variations in the quality of discs, this recorder may not be able to record on all discs that bear a DVD-RAM, DVD-R or DVD-RW logo, but you should not encounter difficulty if you use only high quality recordable DVD discs. Additionally, discs recorded in this device may not operate properly in other DVD players, recorders and/or personal computer drives. If you happen to encounter difficulties playing or recording a DVD disc or playing a CD disc, please feel free to call our Customer Service Hotline at 1-800-319-6684.

Pressing the DIMMER button on the remote control changes the brightness of the display (normal/dimmed). When dimming the display, the LED will be turned off.

Switching the display

Every time you press the FL SELECT button, the display changes between the channel, title number, and time. The display may not change, depending on the disc or recording conditions.

Technical information

About recording time
The recording time of a typical VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) is determined by the length of a video tape and recording speed (SP, LP, etc.). Video tapes with various recording times are available in the market. On the other hand, the recording time of a DVD-RAM/ R/RW depends on the bit rate (Mbps: amount of data transmitted per second), which can be varied in MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group2) compression technology. As an example, when you pour water into a bucket from a faucet, the faster the water flows, the sooner the bucket is filled with water. On the other hand, the slower the water flows, the more slowly the bucket is filled. The DVD-RAM/R/RW is, so to speak, such a bucket, and the degree you turn the faucet is bit rate, the time required to fill the bucket with water is the recording time available for a disc. The higher you set the bit rate (making much more water flow), the sooner a disc is filled. Consequently, the recording time becomes shorter. The lower you set the bit rate, the longer time it takes to fill a disc. On a blank 4.7 GB DVD-RAM disc, the AT mode automatically sets the appropriate bit rate corresponded to the recording time from about 1 hour to up to 2 hours so that you can achieve the best picture quality. If a part of a DVD-RAM disc has already been recorded, the AT mode sets the bit rate suitable for the remaining space on the disc. (The picture quality is determined referring the remaining space just before recording. When the remaining space is scarce in the disc, the picture quality may decrease from what you set beforehand or the recording may stop halfway.) AT mode is available also on DVD-R/RW recordings. When you want to record a music program or animation with high picture quality, it is recommended that you select the XP mode. If you select more than 6 Mbps, you can usually record with considerably higher picture quality. However the higher you set the bit rate, the shorter the recording time.
Sound recording format onto DVD-RAM discs. When recording, sounds are converted into digital signals and compressed. In playback, they are extracted to the D /M1 is applied the digital original sound. recording technology for consumer products of Dolby Laboratories. Dolby Digital 192 kbps is set for D /M1.
About picture quality (XP, SP, MP, LP, EP)

Notes Do not move the recorder during playback. It may damage the disc. Occasionally the picture may stop at the last scene, or the main menu may appear after playing. If you display a still picture such as the main menu on the TV screen for a prolonged period, the TV may be damaged (image burn). To prevent this, press STOP button to stop playback. A still picture for about 15 minutes while TIMESLIP indicator illuminates, will return to normal playback. If the playback is completed, a still picture of the title end will continue unless you press TIMESLIP button.

Creating chapters

1 title is created by recording at a time, which includes 1 chapter. By dividing it into several chapters, it will be easier to access a desired scene, and your editing or playback will be much easier.
To create chapters in a title, insert a chapter mark. Playback the content, locate a point where you want to divide, then press CHP DIVIDE button. The point divides the chapter (into two). You can create multiple chapters by repeating the above operation.
Notes Chapters cannot be created in the following modes: Dubbing / Fast-reverse, Fast-forward / Slow-motion You cannot divide a title of a DVD-R/RW disc into chapters. It is possible to create chapters in a DVD-R/RW disc by selecting page 118) an option that inserts chapter marks automatically during recording at regular intervals. (

About this product

Some differences
Because of its recording capacity, this DVD recorder operates more like a computer and differently than a standard DVD player. In addition to containing a microprocessor, it contains an operating system, random access memory (RAM), and a DVD-RAM/R/RW drive. The operating system includes software that is transferred to the RAM when the machine is turned on and at other times during operation. This transfer can take time. Therefore, when you turn the DVD recorder on, it may take a little while before it is ready to use. Likewise, other functions may not be performed as quickly as they would on other AV equipment. Additionally, accessing those programs (or deleting a program from a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc) may take more time. Please take these factors into consideration as you use the DVD recorder.

Compatibility

In isolated cases, a disc bearing the DVD or CD logo may not fully and properly play back all features or as intended by the creator of the disc. This can be due, among other reasons, to problems and errors that can occur during the creation or recording of DVD and other software and the manufacture of software discs (including blank discs). Moreover, because of variations in the quality of discs, this recorder may not be able to record on all discs that bear a DVD-RAM, DVD-R or DVD-RW logo, but you should not encounter difficulty if you use only high quality recordable DVD discs. Additionally, discs recorded in this device may not operate properly in other DVD players, recorders and/or personal computer drives. If you happen to encounter difficulties playing or recording a DVD disc or playing a CD disc, please feel free to call our Customer Service Hotline at 1-800-319-6684.

DVD-R discs when creating your own original discs for distribution DVD-R discs are designed to comply with the global standard DVD-Video format, and can be recorded only once. DVD-R discs are convenient when you edit your original content (recorded personal events such as a wedding party) with this recorder, transfer them to the recorder and make copies to send to your friends or relatives. The discs can be played on other compatible DVD players. DVD-RW discs, which are rewriteable, can be used as well. * DVD-R and DVD-RW may not be the best suited format for recording TV programs. Because of the way the discs are formatted, it may not be possible to edit or divide the program as you may prefer, to record secondary languages, or programs that are copy protected in a way that allows only one copy. (NOTE: Copy once protected programs generally can be recorded to DVD-RAM discs.) * This recorder records on a DVD-R/RW disc in DVD-Video format only. In DVD-VR format, recording is not possible. We cannot guarantee that DVD-RAM/R/RW discs recorded on this recorder will be playable on all DVD recorders/ players.

Introduction Choosing a disc (Continued)

On DVD-RAM discs

Use only DVD-RAM discs that comply with DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2.
The recorder cannot record on a disc formatted in any other standard. When using such a disc, initialize it by using the disc-format function of this recorder. The recorder may not record, dub, or edit some DVDRAM discs, because they are edited/recorded with another manufacturers equipment or PC, contain a large number of titles, or have little remaining capacity. Also, a DVD-RAM disc may not be edited or recorded if its title contains still pictures. DVD-RAM discs formatted in UDF2.0 on a PC are not compatible with this recorder. Before using these discs, initialize them on this recorder. This recorder complies with current copyright protection technology and can copy a disc only when the disc permits copying once. When there is no indication on the disc, copying will not be allowed. To protect recorded contents Slide the write-protect tab to PROTECT with something small enough. The disc can play, but cannot be edited or erased. Refer to the instructions that come with the disc.

PROTECT

When using a disc without a cartridge (commercially available discs) Discs without cartridges can easily attract fingerprints and dust, which is the reason they are not recommended. If you cannot avoid using them, handle with proper care. When you write in a title column on a disc, use a pen with a soft tip. Do not use a pen with a hard tip, such as a ballpoint pen. Recommended discs The following discs have been tested with this recorder: 9.4 GB double-sided cartridge: Panasonic 2X, 3X 4.7 GB single-sided cartridge: Panasonic 2X, 3X
DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are recommended for recording.
Two types of DVD-RAM discs are available: ones with cartridges and ones without cartridges. You can use either of them with this recorder, but the former ones are recommended. In order to record highly detailed data, make sure the disc is clean. DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are easier to handle in this regard. Do not open the cartridge shutter. The disc may not play, or may not be recorded or edited once it becomes dirty. There are two types of DVD-RAM cartridges; removable (TYPE 2/4) and not removable (TYPE 1). It is recommended you do not remove the disc even when you can. Refer to the instruction manual that comes with the disc if it is absolutely necessary to remove the disc. Some commercially available cartridge discs cannot be recorded or edited once the inside discs are removed.

On DVD-R discs

Standards
DVD-R for General Ver.2.0 discs can be used for recording and playback. Discs compatible with 2X speed recording (labeled Ver.2.1/2X etc.) and discs compatible with 4X speed recording (labeled Ver.2.1/4X etc.) can also be used. Select discs labeled for video, for recording, 120 min. etc. DVD-R for authoring Ver.1.1 cannot be used.

Marks on DVD video discs

The following are examples of marks and the meanings.
Meanings Number of audio streams recorded in the disc. (2 streams such as English and Japanese in this example.)

Recording conditions

Images for which copying is prohibited or restricted (copy once or copy prohibited) cannot be recorded. Even if the disc is labeled as CPRM compatible, this recorder can only be used to record copy-free material.
Number of subtitle languages recorded in the disc. (2 subtitle languages are recorded in this example.) Number of camera angles recorded in the disc. (3 camera angles are recorded in this example.) Pictures are recorded in the standard picture shape (4:3 aspect ratio).
