Overview  
Overview  
DVD, DVD+R, DVD+RW?  
What is a DVD?  
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a storage medium that combines the convenience of the compact disc with the  
latest digital video technology. DVD video uses modern MPEG2 data compression technology that enables an  
entire feature film to be stored on a single five inch disc.  
How good is the resolution of DVD compared with VHS?  
The razor-sharp digital images have more than 500 lines of resolution at 720 pixels per line. This is more than  
twice as high as VHS and even better than laser disc quality. DVD picture quality is easily comparable to the  
digital masters produced in recording studios.  
What is a DVD+RW?  
DVD+ReWritable uses ‘phase change‘ media, the same technology on which rewritable CDs are based. A high-  
performance laser is used to change the reflective properties of the recording layer; this process can be  
repeated more than a thousand times.  
What is a DVD+R?  
Unlike a DVD+RW disc, a DVD+R (write-once DVD) can only be written to once. If it is not finalized after a  
recording, further recordings can be added to it. Old recordings can be deleted but they can no longer be  
overwritten. The deleted recordings (titles) are marked 'deleted title'.  
Before a DVD+R can be played in a DVD player, it must be finalized in the DVD Recorder+VCR. Once this  
process is complete, no further recordings can be added.  
What can I do with my DVD Recorder+VCR?  
Your DVD Recorder+VCR is a machine for recording and playing back digital video discs with ‘two-way‘  
compatibility with the universal DVD video standard. This means:  
• existing DVD video discs can be played on the recorder.  
• recordings made on your DVD Recorder+VCR can be played on other DVD video players and DVD-ROM  
drives.  
Regional code  
If the region number on your DVD disc does not correspond to the region  
number of this player, the disc cannot be played.

Overview  
About DVD Recording  
Notes on Recording  
• The recording times shown are not exact because the DVD Recorder+VCR uses variable bit-rate video  
compression. This means that the exact recording time will depend on the material being recorded.  
• When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception is poor or the picture contains interference, the recording  
times may be shorter.  
• Discs recorded at high speeds (equal to or greater than 2X) may not be recognized.  
• 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 the exact length of the  
disc.  
• The available recording time may decrease if you heavily edit a disc.  
• When using a 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.  
Recording TV Audio Channels  
The DVD Recorder+VCR can record one or two channel audio. For TV broadcasts, this usually means mono or  
stereo, but some programs are broadcast with a main and a SAP (Secondary Audio Program) audio channel.  
You can record either the main audio or the SAP audio.  
Restrictions on Video Recording  
• You cannot record copy-protected video using this DVD Recorder+VCR. 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 DVD+RW discs with CPRM.  
Copyright Notice  
• Audio and video recordings you make using the DVD Recorder+VCR are for your personal use only. You may  
not sell, lend, or rent them to other people.  
• This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain  
U.S.patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights  
owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is  
intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision  
corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.

Overview  
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 DVD Recorder+VCR is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical 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.  
Distance: Within 23 ft (7 m) of the remote sensor.  
Angle: Within 30° in each direction of the remote sensor.  
Remote Control Battery Installation  
Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control, and insert two AAA  
batteries. Make sure the polarities (+ and -) are aligned correctly.  
Caution  
Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types of batteries (standard,  
alkaline, etc.).

You will need to activate the DVD Recorder+VCR’s digital output; see ‘AUDIO Settings‘ on page 28.  
Digital Multi-Channel Sound?  
A digital multi-channel connection provides the best sound quality. For this you need a multi-channel  
audio/video receiver that supports one or more of the audio formats supported by your DVD Recorder+VCR  
(MPEG 2, Dolby Digital, and DTS). Check the receiver manual and the logos on the front of the receiver.  
Due to the DTS Licensing agreement, the digital output will be in DTS digital out when DTS audio stream is  
selected.  
If the audio format of the digital output does not match the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will produce  
a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.  
5.1 channel digital surround sound via the digital connection can only be obtained if your receiver is equipped with  
a digital multi-channel decoder.  
To see the audio format of the current DVD on the on-screen display, press [AUDIO].  
The DVD Recorder+VCR does not perform internal (2- channel) decoding of DTS sound tracks. To enjoy DTS multi-  
channel surround, you must connect the DVD Recorder+VCR to a DTS compatible receiver via one of the DVD  
Recorder+VCR’s digital audio outputs.

Even if a Timer Recording is set, the DVD Recorder+VCR will not record if:  
• No disc is loaded.  
• A non-recordable disc is loaded.  
• DISC Lock is set to ON in the DISC Settings menu; see page 53.  
• There are already 49 titles recorded on the disc.  
You cannot enter a Timer Recording if:  
• A recording is already under way.  
• The start time has already passed.  
• Eight Timer Recordings have already been set.  
If two or more Timer Recordings overlap:  
• The earlier program takes priority.  
• When the earlier program finishes, the later program starts.  
• If two programs are set to start at exactly the same time, the program entered first takes priority.  
Confirmation is not possible when:  
• The DISC Protect setting is set to ON.  
• There are already 49 titles recorded on the disc.  
If the disc is damaged, the recording may not complete successfully, even if the Check field shows ‘Rec. OK‘.  
Recording Priority  
Timer Recording and OTR (One Touch Record) have the same priority but they have lower priority than manual  
recording. During manual recording Timer Recording or OTR will be ignored.

unrecorded section of tape, or if the power fails in the source component, or if the DV cable becomes  
disconnected.
