damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these
conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically exam-
ine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates
damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appli-
ance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part
by an authorized servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such
as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked
upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point
where the cord exits the appliance.

Overview (Continued)
About Recordable discs
How are recordable discs different?
The essential difference among DVD-R, DVD-RW,
DVD+R and DVD+RW is that DVD-R and DVD+R are a
record-once medium, while DVD-RW and DVD+RW are
a re-recordable/erasable medium. You can re-record/
erase a DVD-RW and DVD+RW disc approximately
1,000 times.
Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD
player?
Generally, DVD-R, DVD+R discs and DVD-RW discs
recorded in Video mode are playable in a regular DVD
player, but they must be ‘finalized’ first. This process
fixes the contents of the disc to make them readable to
other DVD players as DVD-Video discs.
DVD-RW discs recorded in VR (Video Recording) mode
are playable in some players.
Unfinalized DVD+RW discs are playable in a regular
DVD player.
This indicates a product feature that is
capable of playing DVD-RW discs recorded
with Video Recording (VR) format.
What are “Recording modes”?
There are various recording modes available using this
recorder. When recording to a DVD-R, DVD+R or
DVD+RW disc, recordings are always in Video mode.
DVD-RW discs can be formatted for VR mode recording
or Video mode recording.
VR mode recording
•4different picture quality/recording time settings avail-
able (SP, LP, EP, XP)
•Not playable on regular DVD players
•Recordings can be extensively edited

•Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)
•Limited editing features
DVD+RW mode recording
•4different picture quality/recording time settings avail-
able (SP, LP, EP, XP)
•Playable on regular DVD players
•The edited contents is playable on regular DVD play-
ers only after finalizing
•Recordings can be edited the title/chapter
DVD+R mode recording
•4different picture quality/recording time settings avail-
able (SP, LP, EP, XP)
•Playable on regular DVD players (after finalization)
•Any edited contents are not be compatible on regular
DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter
mark, etc.)
•Limited title/chapter editing features
ote
DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for
recording on DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs that
was approved by the DVD Forum in 2000. You may
therefore experience problems playing recordable DVD
discs in some players. Symptoms include video arti-
facts, audio and/or video dropouts and playback sud-
denly stopping.
Our company cannot take responsibility for problems
playing discs recorded on this Recorder Combi Receiver in
other players.
Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?
No. When you edit a video tape you need one video
deck to play the original tape and another to record the
edits. With DVD, you edit by making a ‘Playlist’ of what
to play and when to play it. On playback, the Recorder
Combi Receiver plays the disc according to the Playlist.
About word ‘Original’ and ‘Playlist’
Throughout this manual, you will often see the words
Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and
the edited version.
•Original: content refers to what’s actually recorded
on the disc.
•Playlist: content refers to the edited version of the
disc — how the Original content is to be played.

About DVD recording
otes
•This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or
CD-RW discs.
•Our company takes no responsibility for recording fail-
ure due to power cuts, defective discs, or damage to
the recorder.
•Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect
playback and/or recording performance. Please take
proper care of your discs.
Disc types and recording formats, modes,
and settings
This recorder can play five different kinds of DVD disc:
pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, DVD-R,
DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format for DVD-R
discs is always “Video format”—the same as pre-record-
ed DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized,
you can play a DVD-R in a regular DVD player.
The recording mode is closely related to the disc for-
mat. If the disc format is Video Recording format, then
the recording mode is VR mode; if the disc format is
Video mode, then the recording mode is Video mode
(except for DVD-Video, which is not recordable, and so
does not have a recording mode).
Within the recording modes (which are fixed for the
whole disc) are the record settings. These can be
changed as required for each recording and determine
the picture quality and how much space the recording
will take up on the disc.
Notes for recording
•The recording times shown are not exact because the
Recorder Combi Receiver 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 record-
ing times may be shorter.
•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 exactly the length of the
disc.
•The recording time available may decrease if you
heavily edit a disc.
•If using a DVD-RW disc, make sure you change the
recording format (Video mode or VR mode) before
you record anything on the disc. See page 26 (Disc
Initialize) for how to do this.
•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.
•When using a DVD-RW disc in Video mode, recording
time available will only increase if you erase the last
title recorded on the disc.
•The Erase Title option in the Title List-Original menu
only hides the title, it does not actually erase the title
from the disc and increase the recording time avail-
able (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-RW
disc in Video mode).
•The overwrite recording is available with DVD+RW
disc.

Overview (Continued)
Recording TV audio channels
This recorder 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.
If you’re recording in Video mode (or in VR mode), you
can record either the main audio or the SAP audio.
Restrictions on video recording
•You cannot record copy-protected video using this
recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video
discs, pre-recorded VHS tapes and some satellite
broadcasts. If copy-protected material is encountered
during a recording, the recording will pause or stop
automatically and an error mesage will be displayed.
•Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded
using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see
below).
What is ‘CPRM’?
CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble sys-
tem) only allowing the recording of ‘copy once’ broad-
cast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for
Recordable Media.
This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that
you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you
cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM
recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs format-
ted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be
played on players that are specifically compatible with
CPRM.

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 Recorder Combi Receiver 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.
Moisture Condensation
Never operate the Recorder Combi Receiver immedi-
ately after moving it from a cold location to a warm
location. Leave it for two or three hours without operat-
ing it. If you use the Recorder Combi Receiver in such
a situation, it may damage discs/tapes and internal
parts.
Notes on Discs
Handling discs
Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the
disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the
surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
Storing discs
After playing, store the disc in its case.
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of
heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sun-
light, as there may be a considerable temperature
increase inside the car.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic-
ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen-
ter outward.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for older vinyl records.
