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.

nal, but is an indirect representa-
tion of sound. See also Digital
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.

stereo(2ch) or multi-channel
audio (up to 5.1ch).

sound system, but it is different

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
