Time display during recording/playback  
The recording time and playback time of this unit will display about 0.1% faster than the real  
recording/playback time.When broadcasting images, 29.9 frames are sent per second.This unit calculates  
30 frames as one second. For this reason, time will display about 0.1% faster. For example, if you record  
for 1 hour, in reality there will be 1 hour of recorded material. However, the time display on this unit will  
be "60 min. X 0.999 = 59.94 min. = 59 min. 56 sec.".

Restrictions on recording  
Note  
This recorder cannot record on CD-RW or  
CD-R discs.  
• DVD-RW/-R and CD-RW/-R discs recorded on a  
personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder  
may not be played back if the disc is damaged or  
dirty or if there is dirt of condensation on the  
player’s lens.  
• If you record on a disc using a personal comput-  
er, there are cases in which it may not be played  
back because of the settings of the application  
software used to create the disc even if it is  
recorded in a compatible format. (Check with the  
software publisher for more detailed informa-  
tion.)  
You cannot record copy-protected materials using  
this unit. Copy-protected materials includes DVD-  
Video discs and some satellite broadcasts.  
If copy-protected material is encountered during a  
recording, recording will be paused or stop automat-  
ically and an error message will be displayed on  
screen.  
When recording a TV broadcast or through an  
external input, you can display copy control informa-  
tion on screen.  
Information on copy control  
• Discs recorded inVideo mode on this unit cannot  
record any additional materials using other DVD  
recorders.  
• A DVD-RW disc formatted with this unit cannot be  
used on other DVD recorders.  
• Since the recording is made by the variable bit rate  
(VBR) method, the actual remaining time for record-  
ing may be a little bit shorter than the remaining  
time displayed on the OSD depending on the pic-  
ture you are recording.  
Some satellite broadcasts include copy-protected  
information. For their recording, refer to the follow-  
ing.

Not Recordable  
After recording, you must finalize disc in order to  
play back on any other unit. (Refer to page 44.)  
What is “CPRM”?  
(Content Protection for Recordable Media)  
This is a format used to record copy-once pro-  
grams. By recording coded data on the area of  
DVD discs that ordinary writing software can-  
not write, it prevents copy-once programs from  
being recorded repeatedly on different media.  
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means  
that you can record copy-once broadcast pro-  
grams, but then you cannot make a copy of  
those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be  
made on DVD-RW discs formatted inVR mode,  
and CPRM recordings can only be played back  
on players that are compatible with CPRM.

audio.  
The system developed by Dolby  
A type of display that does not  
split each frame into fields, and  
instead scans directly through all  
the scanlines of each frame in  
order. Progressive scan provides  
less flickering and higher image  
resolution than traditional (480i)  
TV signals. Refer to page 14 for  
instructions on selective progres-  
sive scan mode.  
sound. It offers you sound of  
stereo(2ch) or multi-channel  
audio (up to 5.1ch).  
DTS (DigitalTheater System)  
Aspect ratio  
DTS is a 5.1 channel surround  
sound system, but it is different  
The width of a TV screen relative  
to its height. Conventional TVs are from Dolby Digital.The formats  
4:3 (in other words, the screen is were developed by Digital Theater  
Regions code  
almost square); widescreen models System, Inc.  
are 16:9 (the screen is almost  
twice as wide as it is high).  
Regions associate discs and play-  
ers with particular areas of the  
world.This unit will only play back  
discs that have compatible region  
codes.You can find the region  
code of your unit by looking at  
the rear panel. Some discs are  
compatible with more than one  
region (or all regions).  
Finalize  
To make recorded contents on  
Chapter  
DVD discs possible to be played  
back on DVD players.With this  
unit, it is possible to finalize  
DVD-RW/DVD-R discs.  
Just as a book is split up into sev-  
eral chapters, a title on a DVD  
disc is usually divided into chap-  
ters. See also Title.  
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)  
Component video output  
MP3 is a method of compressing  
files.You can copy MP3 files on  
CD-RW/-R discs from the com-  
puter and play back the files on  
this unit.  
This is a video signal format that  
conveys each of three principal  
colors of light (red, blue and  
green) through different signal  
lines.This allows the viewers to  
experience picture colors as origi-  
nal as it is.There are several signal  
formats, includingY/PB/PR and  
Y/CB/CR.  
Sampling frequency  
The rate which sound is measured  
by a specified interval to turn it  
into digital audio data.The num-  
bers of sampling in one second  
defines as sampling frequency.The  
higher the rate, the better the  
sound quality is.  
PCM  
(Pulse Code Modulation)  
PCM is a format that converts  
audio into digital data. It is mainly  
used for Audio CDs and DAT.This  
unit can play back sounds as real-  
istic as possible by converting  
even compressed Dolby Digital  
and MPEG audio to PCM.  
SAP  
CPRM  
(Content Protection for  
Recordable Media)  
(Secondary Audio Program)  
Sub-audio channel which is deliv-  
ered separately from main-audio  
channel.This audio channel is used  
as an alternate in bilingual broad-  
casting.  
This is a format used to record  
copy-once programs. By recording  
coded data on the area of DVD  
discs that ordinary writing soft-  
ware cannot write on, it prevents  
copy-once programs from being  
recorded repeatedly on different  
media.  
Playlist  
From this list you can play back  
contents of a disc in your desired  
order or sequence.Also it allows  
to search a specific scene directly.  
S-Video output  
It delivers independently each sig-  
nal of color(C) and luminance(Y)  
to TV as video signals, so that  
higher-quality picture will be  
materialized.  
Digital audio  
An indirect representation of  
Title (DVD only)  
sound by numbers. During record-  
ing, the sound is measured at dis-  
crete intervals (44, 100 times a  
second for CD audio) by an ana-  
log-to-digital converter, generating  
a stream of numbers. On playback,  
a digital-to-analog converter gen-  
erates an analog signal based on  
these numbers. See also Sampling  
frequency and Analog audio.  
A collection of chapters on DVD  
disc. See also Chapter.  
Track  
Audio CDs use tracks to divide  
the content of a disc.The DVD  
equivalent is called a chapter. See  
also Chapter.
