Recording) mode
Video mode is the same recording format as
DVD-Video discs purchased locally and
played back on most DVD players.
To play back the disc on other DVD players,
you will need to finalize the disc (see page
36). Before finalization, you can record addi-
tionally or edit disc with this unit.
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.
VR (Video Recording) mode is a basic
recording format for DVD-RW.You can edit,
record and delete repeatedly.
DVD players with

•
If you record on a disc using a personal computer,
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 pub-
lisher for more detailed information.)

Not Playable
After finalizing:
• Once DVD-RW/R (Video mode) is finalized, you
cannot record additionally or edit.
What is “CPRM”?
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 DVD players that are compatible with
CPRM.
• DVD-RW disc recorded withVR mode can
record additionally and edit contents even after
you finalized the disc.
• When DVD-RW/R (Video mode) is finalized, title
menu will be created automatically.
Finalize discs recorded on this unit in order to
play them back on other DVD players.

Hints forTimer Recording
•
If there is a power failure or this unit has been unplugged for more than 30 seconds, the clock setting and all timer settings will be lost.
• If a recordable disc is not on the tray or an unrecordable disc is on the tray, the DVD indicator on the front panel
flashes and Timer recording cannot be performed. In some cases, the DVD indicator appears momentarily around the
Timer starting time as the unit attempts to record. Please insert a recordable disc.
•
•
•
If a videotape with a record tab is not in the cassette compartment or there is no videotape in the compartment, the
VCR indicator on the front panel flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. Please insert a recordable videotape.
If you hit [POWER] and turn on the unit while either DVD orVCR is in timer standby mode, the
indicator lights off. In
this case, you cannot change the mode between DVD andVCR. You cannot change any settings using [SETUP] or edit discs.
After step 11 on page 32, you can turn on the power to use the side of the unit that is free from Timer Recording (either
DVD orVCR) for another recording by hitting [POWER] during timer standby. During Timer Recording, hit [SELECT] on
the front panel, or [DVD] or [VCR] on the remote control. Note that you cannot change channels after Timer Recording
started. You can use all recording/recording pause/OTR functions. However, the unit will begin receiving channel signals for
Timer Recording 2 minutes before the programmed starting time. Unless the program that you are currently recording using
the Timer Recording free side of the unit is on the same channel with the one programmed for Timer Recording, the unit pri-
oritizes Timer Recording and the current recording will be automatically stopped. If the channels set for Timer recording and
the current recording are same, the current recording will continue without interruption.
•
If both DVD andVCR are timer programmed, you cannot use any functions for either unit during timer standby or Timer
Recording. If you want to use functions other than recording under such condition, cancel Timer Recording by hitting
[T-SET] during timer standby or stop recording by hitting [STOP] on the front panel during Timer Recording.
• When the starting and ending time are same, the recording will be set for 24 hours. When the disc reaches the end
during the recording, the unit turns itself off. If you want to continue the recording, cancel timer standby by hitting
[T-SET], insert a new disc, and then hit [T-SET] again. If you are recording on a tape, the unit automatically ejects
the tape when it reaches the end. You can continue the recording by inserting a new tape.
•
•
When the programmed starting and ending time are earlier than the current time, the setting will not be accepted and be cleared for redoing.
If the starting time is earlier and the ending time is later than the current time, the recording will start right after you hit [T-SET].
• The Timer Recording cannot be performed in DVD andVCR at the same time. If you set two programming with the
same channel and time in both units, the program with a lower program number will be recorded.
The priority of overlapped settings
This unit prioritizes recording as follows if the timer programmings are overlapped.
A Timer Recording of lower priority will be canceled, start from the middle or stop on the way.
Check the overlapped timer programmings and change the priority if necessary.
A programming with a lower program number has priority
When some programming have been made around the
end time of the program currently being recorded:
A program with a lower program number (PROG. 2) has priority.
When the starting time is same:
A program with a lower program number (PROG. 1) has priority.

another are the same, the first 30 sec-
onds (at the longest) of the subsequent
program will be cut off.
When the End time of the programming currently being recorded
and the Start time of the subsequent program are same:
If PROG. 1 is recorded on a DVD, the beginning of the PROG. 2 may be
cut off.The amount of time cut off differs depending on the recording media.
For example, if both PROG. 1 and PROG. 2 are recorded on DVD, the first 30
seconds (at the longest) of PROG. 2 will be cut off.

On playback, a digital-to-analog con-
verter generates an analog signal
based on these numbers. See also
Sampling frequency and Analog audio.
Regions code
An electrical signal that directly represents
sound. In contrast, digital audio which can
be an electrical signal, but is an indirect rep-
resentation of sound. See also Digital audio.
Regions associate discs and players with
particular areas of the world.This unit
will only play back discs that have com-

region code of your unit by looking at
the rear panel. Some discs are compati-
ble with more than one region (or all
regions).
Dolby Digital
Aspect ratio
The system developed by Dolby
The width of a TV screen relative to its
height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other
words, the screen is almost square);
widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is
almost twice as wide as it is high).
Laboratories to compress digital sound.
It offers you sound of stereo(2ch) or
multi-channel audio (up to 5.1ch).
Sampling frequency
The rate which sound is measured by
a specified interval to turn it into digi-
tal audio data.The numbers of sam-
pling in one second defines as sam-
pling frequency.The higher the rate,
the better the sound quality is.

Chapter
To make recorded contents on DVD
discs possible to be played back on
