Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose
or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power
cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are danger-
ous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or
fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if
its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it,
discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord
replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized
servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse,
such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or
walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets,
and the point where the cord exits the appliance.
To disconnect power from the unit, unplug the unit from the
outlet. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is
easily accessible.

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. Pre-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.

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 regional code from the unit, the message “Incorrect region code.
Can’t play back” appears on the TV screen.

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 or DVD-RAM disc

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 format-
ted in VR mode or DVD-RAM discs, and CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically
compatible with CPRM.

used to protect digital content transmitted and received.
HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced,
or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel
surround-sound audio, HDMI features include uncom-
pressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabytes
per second, one connector (instead of several cables
and connectors), and communication between the AV
source and AV devices such as DTVs.

soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presen-
tation 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). This allows
you to listen to a movie at a lower volume without los-
ing clarity of sound. Set DRC to [ON] for this effect.

About DVD recording
About DVD recording
Notes:
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 intermis-
sion) 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(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.)
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.
Notes for recording
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.
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
26 (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
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.
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).
MLP The longest recording time with the lowest
video quality, gives you about 11 hours of recording
time on a DVD (4.7GB).
Note:
You may see a fragmented picture during playing
back the contents recorded in EP or MLP mode.

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
a DV cassette.
Disconnecting the DV cable while recording a
contents of the connected digital camcorder may
result in malfunction.
1. Make sure your digital camcorder is connected to
the front panel DV IN jack. See page 17.
2. Press INPUT repeatedly to select the DV input.
3. Find the place on the camcorder tape that you
want to the recording to start from.

Playlist Editing
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.
Caution:
When editing using the Delete, Add and Move func-
tions, 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 momen-
tary 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 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.
About word ‘Original’ and ‘Playlist’
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.
Adding Chapter Markers
Adding Chapter Markers
You can create chapters within a title by inserting
chapter marks at the desired points.

During recording or playing back, at the point you
want to start a new chapter, press CHP. ADD.

Check the manual that came with the other player to
check what formats of discs it will play.
Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings and editings in place
so that the disc can be played on a regular DVD play-
er or computer equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM
drive.
Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen
for navigating the disc. The menu can be accessed
by pressing MENU/LIST or TITLE.
To finalize a disc, refer to [Finalize]on page 26.
Notes:
Unfinalized DVD+RW is playable on regular DVD
players.
The edited contents of a DVD+RW (DL) disc is
compatible on regular DVD players only after
finalization.
Any edited contents of the DVD+R disc are not
compatible on regular DVD players.
(Hide, chapter combine, added chapter mark, etc.)
How long finalization takes depends on the type
of disc, how much is recorded on the disc, and
the number of titles on the disc.
DVD+R DL disc can take up to 30 minutes to
finalize.
