Precautions for DVD Recorder Use
䡵Storage & Usage Locations
The storage and usage of this DVD recorder in the following
types of location should be avoided.
●Areas at temperatures which deviate by a significant degree
above or below the permitted service temperature range
(i.e., 5°C to 35°C).
●Areas at humidities which deviate by a significant degree
above or below the permitted service humidity range (i.e.,
20% to 80% RH).
●Areas where a large amount of dust or sand is present.
●Areas where the DVD recorder may come into contact with
oily smoke or steam, such as in kitchens or in their
immediate vicinity.
●Areas that are unstable or where significant vibration occurs.
●Areas where condensation occurs readily.
●Areas where strong magnetic fields are generated by
transformers, motors, or the like.
●Areas where transceivers, mobile phones, and other
wireless-communication devices are present.
●Areas that are subjected to X-ray irradiation or where
corrosive gases are present. (This precaution must be
strictly observed.)
䡵Handling
●Ensure that this DVD recorder is placed on a flat, horizontal
surface for use.
●Do not place heavy objects such as a monitor on top of the
DVD recorder.
●Do not insert foreign objects into the disc tray opening.
●Be careful not to get your fingers clamped when loading
the disc to prevent injury.
●Do not block the fan’s ventilation holes.
●Avoid knocking or dropping this DVD recorder.
●When the DVD recorder is to be moved, ensure that any
DVD it contains is removed in advance.
●If the DVD recorder is not to be used for an extended period
of time, please set the POWER switch to OFF to avoid
wasting electricity.
䡵Cleaning the Exterior (with the power off)
Use a soft cloth when cleaning the outside of this DVD
recorder.
Do not use paint thinners or organic solvents as cleaning
agents.
Failure to observe these precautions can result in discoloration
or melting of exterior surfaces.
When stubborn dirt is present, wipe away using a cloth soaked
in a dilute neutral solvent.
䡵Always use the power cord provided with this DVD
recorder.
The usage of a different type of cord or a damaged cord can
result in the outbreak of fire or electric shocks.
䡵 The power cord supplied with this DVD recorder should
not be used with any other device.
䡵Before connecting this DVD recorder to other
devices, turn those devices off and then carry out
setup procedures as described in the
corresponding user’s manuals.
䡵 The DVD drive unit is an expendable part. Although the
service life of the DVD drive unit differs depending on
the usage environment of the customer, replacement
every 1000 hours as a guide is recommended. (☞Page
63 “TOTAL RECORDING TIME”)
Precautions Regarding Condensation
䡵Condensation
When cold water is poured into a glass and droplets of
water form on its outer surface, this moisture is referred
to as “condensation”.
䡵When condensation occurs
Condensation can cause water droplets to adhere to the
DVD recorder’s internal lens, thus making normal
operation impossible.
䡵Condensation occurs easily in the following situations,
and the appropriate care should be taken.
•When the DVD recorder is moved from a cold location
into a warm room.
•When the room containing the DVD is rapidly heated.
•When an air conditioner’s air duct is pointing straight at
the DVD recorder.
䡵In situations where it is likely that condensation will occur,
remove any DVD that may be present in this DVD recorder
and then turn the power on. As the interior heats up,
condensation will be less likely to occur.
䡵Condensation is a principal cause of the inability to play
discs and other similar problems. In this type of situation,
allow the DVD recorder to remain inactive with its power
on for several hours. If the problem persists after this
period of time has elapsed, contact either the store where
this DVD recorder was purchased or your JVC Authorized
dealer.
Extended Periods of Inactivity
Performance may deteriorate over extended periods of
inactivity; for this reason, the power should be turned on
and the DVD recorder should be operated at regular
intervals.
Compensation for Damaged Content
䡵JVC accepts no responsibility whatsoever for damages
incurred as a result of an inability to play or record audio
and video content in the rare event that this DVD recorder,
a disc fails to operate correctly.
䡵It is recommended that discs containing important content
be backed up at regular intervals (i.e., on a yearly basis).
Although digital signals do not deteriorate, storage
environments can have an effect on a disc’s aging
characteristics, and this may result in an inability to play
or record.
䡵If a disc should break, there will be no way to recover
data from it.
䡵Proper playback of discs recorded using this DVD recorder
on all devices is not guaranteed.

Introduction
Precautions for Disc Usage
Care of Discs to Ensure High-Quality Playback
䡵Fingerprints, dust, or any other similar contamination of the surface of a disc can lead to distortion in the playback of recorded
video and audio. For this reason, it is good practice to wipe each disc with a soft cloth before use.
䡵Looking After Discs
●Using a soft cloth, wipe the disc gently from the inside to
the outside.
●If stubborn dirt is present on the surface of a disc, wipe first
using a slightly wet cloth and then using a dry cloth.
●Paint thinners, organic solvents, analog record cleaning
agents, anti-static sprays, and the like must never be used.
Failure to observe this precaution can lead to discs being
permanently damaged.
䡵Handling Discs
●Removing a disc ●Placing a disc in its case
●Correct method for holding a disc
Your hands or fingers should not
come into contact with the
recording surface when holding
a disc.

alcohol, or record-cleaning fluid.
䡵Do not use disc protectors or scratch guards.
䡵Stickers and other types of paper label should not be applied.
䡵Do not use discs from which stickers or labels have been
removed.
䡵Do not use discs on which illustrations or text has been printed
using a commercially-available label printer. First create a disc
using the unit before printing.
䡵The use of non-circular discs (i.e., heart or rectangular
shaped), warped discs, and cracked discs can lead to
breakage of the DVD recorder.
Storing Discs
䡵Avoid storing discs in any of the following locations.
•Areas with high levels of humidity or dust, or areas where
mold is present.
•Areas exposed to direct sunlight or close to heating
equipment.

allows the selection of either video mode or VR mode
for recording, this DVD recorder performs recording
in video mode only.
* Version 1.0 of the DVD-RW Standards does not
support video-mode recording, and for this
reason, the corresponding discs cannot be used.
In terms of recording characteristics, DVD-R and DVD-RW (video
mode) differ as follows.
䡵DVD-R
•Each disc can be recorded only one. Accordingly, these
discs are recommended for use in archiving or long-term
storage.
•Once a disc has been finalized, it can also be played on
other DVD players.
䡵DVD-RW (video mode)
•After viewing a disc, all data can be erased and it can be
used to record new content.
•Once a disc has been finalized, it can also be played on
other DVD players.
•It is possible to cancel the finalization and add a recording.
Finalizing
When a DVD-R or a DVD-RW (video mode) has been finalized,
it can be played in the same way as any other DVD using a
standard DVD player. (☞Page 42)
䡵Recording to unused sections of a disc and the
modification of titles or display styles can be carried
out as required before a disc is finalized.
•In the case of both DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs, it is impossible
to overwrite previously recorded content with new data,
even if the disc in question has not yet been finalized. The
deletion of specific sections of data is also impossible.
•Regardless of whether or not finalization has been carried
out, it will not be possible to use this DVD recorder to
record new content to a DVD-R or DVD-RW that has been
recorded using other devices.
䡵Once a disc has been finalized, it can be used as a
standard DVD and its recorded audio and video can
be played on this and other DVD players.
•After finalizing, a disc’s titles can be selected from the top
menu.
•Additional recording will not be possible after finalizing.
•In the case of a DVD-RW, it is possible to cancel the
finalization and add a recording.
•Although a finalized disc may in principle be played on
other DVD players, certain characteristics of the disc and
its recording conditions may make this impossible.
Playing Discs on this DVD recorder
This DVD recorder is capable of playing any discs that it has
created and finalized.
●The following conditions may occur when attempting to
play discs recorded using other devices on this DVD
recorder.
•Inability to play
•Block-type noise (i.e., mosaic)

Introduction
Details Regarding Discs (continued)
DVD Data Configuration
Generally speaking, the content recorded on a DVD is separated
into large units referred to as “titles”. A unique number called a
“title number”is assigned to each of these titles, and as a result,
any title can be immediately accessed using its title number. In
addition, each title can be divided into smaller units referred to
as “chapters”. Similarly, a unique number called a “chapter
number”is assigned to each of these chapters, and this allows
any chapter to be immediately accessed using its chapter
number.
Each recording made to a disc is stored as a single title. In this,
each pressing of the STOP button to leave Recording mode
constitutes a different recording. (This action is also referred to
as “title closing”.)
It is also possible to insert chapter marks to partition titles at the
desired points by pressing the REC button while recording. It is
possible to automatically add a chapter mark when recording is
temporarily stopped by pressing the PAUSE button. (Set from
the menu.) In addition, this DVD recorder can also be used to
automatically insert chapter marks at regular intervals.
(CHAPTER CREATION menu settings will be required for this
function.)
●Before a title is closed, it will be possible to modify the style
used for chapter menu display, to change the thumbnails used,
and to input thumbnail names.
●Before a disc is finalized, it will be possible to modify the style
used for the title menu and to input title names.
Region Codes
One of six numbers referred to as “region codes”is assigned to
DVD content to control the global regions in which this content
may be viewed. If a DVD’s region code does not correspond to
the region code of the DVD player being used, it will not be
possible to play the disc.
●This DVD recorder assigns the region code “ALL”to the discs
that it records.
●It will not be possible to play discs to which region codes have
been assigned.
Screen Sizes
This DVD recorder is capable of recording video content for wide-
screen TVs (i.e., with a 16:9 aspect ratio).
In addition, signals for normal content with a 4:3 aspect ratio, for
squeezed content (i.e., where the left and right are compressed),
and for letterbox content (i.e., where the top and bottom of the
screen are black) can be recorded as is.
●Thumbnail creation method for use in the title/chapter menu
during wide-signal input can be selected in THUMBNAIL
FORM of the DVD MENU screen. (☞Page 65)
