About DVD-R and DVD-RW disc

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.

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 con-

tents 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.

This indicates a product feature that is capa-

ble 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

•3different picture quality/recording time settings avail-

able (HQ, SQ, LQ)

•Not playable on regular DVD players

•Recordings can be extensively edited

Video mode recording

•3different picture quality/recording time settings avail-

able (HQ, SQ, LQ)

•Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)

•Limited editing features

Many functions of this recorder are dependent on the

recording mode. One or more of the symbols

( , ) appear by each function explained

in this manual so that you can see at a glance whether

it’s relevant for the disc loaded.

You can find more information on disc formats and

recording modes on page 46.

ote

DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for

recording on DVD-R/RW discs that was approved by

the DVD Forum in 2000. You may therefore experience

problems playing recordable DVD discs in some play-

ers. 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.

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.

DVD & HDD Recorder Overview (Continued)

About the internal hard disk drive

The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece of

equipment. Please use the recorder following the guide-

lines below to protect against possible HDD failure.

We recommend that you back up your important record-

ings onto DVD-R/RW discs in order to protect against

accidental loss.

•Do not move the recorder while it is on.

•Install and use the recorder on a stable, level surface.

•Do not block the rear vent/cooling fan.

•Do not use the recorder in excessively hot or humid

places, or in places that may be subject to sudden

changes in temperature. Sudden changes in tempera-

ture can cause condensation to form inside the

recorder. This can be a cause of HDD failure.

•While the recorder is switched on, do not unplug from

the wall socket or switch the electricity off from the

breaker switch.

•Do not move the recorder immediately after switching

it off. If you need to move the recorder, please follow

the steps below:

1. After the message POWER OFF is shown in the

display, wait at least two minutes.

2. Unplug from the wall socket.

3. Move the player.

•If there’s a power failure while the recorder is on there

is a chance that some data on the HDD will be lost.

•The HDD is very delicate. If used improperly or in an

unsuitable environment, it is possible that the HDD

will fail after a few years of use. Signs of problems

include playback unexpectedly freezing and notice-

able block noise (mosaic) in the picture.

However, sometimes there will be no warning signs of

HDD failure.

If the HDD fails, no playback of recorded material will

be possible. In this case it will be necessary to

replace the HDD unit.

Cards capable of displaying and saving

•SD Memory Card

•Multi Media Card (MMC)

•Memory Stick (MS)

•Compatible with: FAT 12, FAT 16, or FAT 32

•Use this unit to format a memory card when using for

the first time. Note that the memory card may no

longer be usable on other equipment once formatted

on this unit.

•Only use the memory cards recommended above.

Regarding Write Protect

For cards that have a write protect switch, if the switch

is on it will not be possible to write, erase or format the

card.

Inserting/Removing the Memory Card

We recommend to insert or remove the memory card

after turning the unit off.

Inserting the card.

Insert straight-in until it fits into place.

DVD & HDD Recorder Overview (Continued)

Notes on JPEG Recordings

Depending on the size and number of JPEG files, it

may take several minutes for the recorder to read the

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

megapixels.

The total number of files and folders on a media are

free but the total number of files and folders on the

folder should be less than 1999.

Some media may be incompatible due to different

recording formats or the condition of the media.

When 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” extension before copying

them into the CD layout.

If the files have “.jpe” or “.jpeg” extensions, please

rename them as “.jpg” files.

File names without the “.jpg” extension cannot be

read by this DVD player, even though the files are

shown as JPEG image files in Windows Explorer®.

Notes on MP3 Recordings

About MP3

An MP3 file is audio data compressed using the

MPEG1 audio layer 3 file-encoding scheme. Files

that have the “.mp3” file extension are called “MP3

files”.

The recorder cannot read MP3 files that have file

extensions other than “.mp3”.

MP3 file compatibility with the recorder is lim-

ited as follows:

1. CD-R/RW physical format should be “ISO 9660” and

“JOLIET”.

2. If you record MP3 files using software which cannot

create a FILE SYSTEM (e.g., Direct-CD, etc.), it is

impossible to playback MP3 files. “Easy-CD Creator”

is recommended.

3. The total number of files and folders on the media

are free but the total number of files and folders on

the folder should be less than 1999.

This 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.

Please note that permission is required in order to

download MP3 files and music from the Internet.

Our company has no right to grant such permis-

sion. Permission should always be sought from the

Precautions

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 recorder is a high-tech, precision device. If the opti-

cal 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.

Remote Control Operation Range

Point the remote control at the remote sensor and press

the buttons.

Remote Control Battery Installation

Detach the battery cover on the rear of

the remote control, and insert two R03

(size AAA) batteries with and

aligned correctly.

Caution

Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different

types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.).

Dispose worn-out batteries not with your domestic

waste. Please contact your local government for

disposal practices in your area.

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 sun-

light, as there may be a considerable temperature

increase inside the car.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic-

ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean

the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen-

ter outward.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,

thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static

spray intended for older vinyl records.
