cates which type of the recorder can play those discs.
This unit can play only DVD discs labeled 2 or ALL. If

screen. Some DVD discs may not have a region code
label even though their playback is prohibited by area
limits.
otes on DVDs and Video CDs
Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs
may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers.
As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to
disc content designed by the software manufacturer,
some playback features of the unit may not be available
or other functions may be added.
Refer also to the instructions supplied with the DVDs
and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business pur-
poses may not be played on the unit.
Disc-related terms
Title (DVD only)
The main film content or accompanying feature content
or music album.
Each title is assigned a title reference number enabling
you to locate it easily.
Chapter (DVD only)
Sections of a picture or a musical piece that are smaller
than titles. A title is composed of one or several chap-
ters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number to
enable you to locate the chapter you want. Depending
on the disc, chapters may not be labeled.
Track (Video CD and audio CD only)
Sections of a picture or a musical piece on a video CD
or an audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number,
enabling you to locate the track you want.
Scene
On a video CD with PBC (Playback control) functions,
moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sec-
tions called “Scenes”. Each scene available is displayed
on the Scene menu and assigned a scene number,
enabling you to locate the scene you want.
Ascene may be composed of one or several tracks.
Types of video CDs
There are two types of video CDs:
Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)
PBC (Playback control) functions allow you to interact
with the system via menus, search functions, or other
typical computer-like operations. Moreover, high resolu-
tion still pictures can be played if they are included on
the disc.
Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1)
Operated in the same way as audio CDs, these discs
allow playback of video pictures as well as sound, but
they are not equipped with PBC.

DVD & HDD Recorder Overview (Continued)
About DVD-R and DVD-RW disc
How are DVD-R and DVD-RW discs different?
The essential difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW
is that DVD-R is a record-once medium, while DVD-RW
is a re-recordable/erasable medium. You can re-record/
erase a DVD-RW disc approximately 1,000 times.
Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD
player?
Generally, 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 con-
tents 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.
This indicates a product feature that is capa-
ble of playing DVD-RW discs recorded with
Video Recording format.
What are ‘recording modes’?
There are two recording modes available using this
recorder: VR mode and Video mode. When recording to
a DVD-R disc, recordings are always in Video mode.
DVD-RW discs can be formatted for VR mode recording
or Video mode recording.
VR mode recording
•3different picture quality/recording time settings avail-
able (HQ, SQ, LQ)
•Not playable on regular DVD players
•Recordings can be extensively edited
Video mode recording
•3different picture quality/recording time settings avail-
able (HQ, SQ, LQ)
•Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)
•Limited editing features
Many functions of this recorder are dependent on the
recording mode. One or more of the symbols
( , ) appear by each function explained
in this manual so that you can see at a glance whether
it’s relevant for the disc loaded.
You can find more information on disc formats and
recording modes on page 45.
ote
DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for
recording on DVD-R/RW discs that was approved by
the DVD Forum in 2000. You may therefore experience
problems playing recordable DVD discs in some play-
ers. Symptoms include video artifacts, audio and/or
video dropouts and playback suddenly stopping.
Our company cannot take responsibility for problems
playing discs recorded on this recorder 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
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.
Reset the recorder
If you observe any of the following symptoms...
The unit is plugged in, but the power will not turn on
or off.
The front panel display is not working.
The recorder is not operating normally.
...you can reset the recorder as follows:
Press and hold the POWER button for at least five

DVD & HDD Recorder Overview (Continued)
About the internal hard disk drive
The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece of
equipment. Please use the recorder following the guide-
lines below to protect against possible HDD failure.
We recommend that you back up your important record-
ings onto DVD-R/RW discs in order to protect against
accidental loss.
•Do not move the recorder while it is on.
•Install and use the recorder on a stable, level surface.
•Do not block the rear vent/cooling fan.
•Do not use the recorder in excessively hot or humid
places, or in places that may be subject to sudden
changes in temperature. Sudden changes in tempera-
ture can cause condensation to form inside the
recorder. This can be a cause of HDD failure.
•While the recorder is switched on, do not unplug from
the wall socket or switch the electricity off from the
breaker switch.
•Do not move the recorder immediately after switching
it off. If you need to move the recorder, please follow
the steps below:
1. After the message POWER OFF is shown in the
display, wait at least two minutes.
2. Unplug from the wall socket.
3. Move the player.
•If there’s a power failure while the recorder is on there
is a chance that some data on the HDD will be lost.
•The HDD is very delicate. If used improperly or in an
unsuitable environment, it is possible that the HDD
will fail after a few years of use. Signs of problems
include playback unexpectedly freezing and notice-
able block noise (mosaic) in the picture.
However, sometimes there will be no warning signs of
HDD failure.
If the HDD fails, no playback of recorded material will
be possible. In this case it will be necessary to
replace the HDD unit.
Cards capable of displaying and saving
•SD Memory Card
•Multi Media Card (MMC)
•Memory Stick (MS)
•Compatible with: FAT 12, FAT 16, or FAT 32
•Use this unit to format a memory card when using for
the first time. Note that the memory card may no
longer be usable on other equipment once formatted
on this unit.
•Only use the memory cards recommended above.
Regarding Write Protect
For cards that have a write protect switch, if the switch
is on it will not be possible to write, erase or format the
card.
Inserting/Removing the Memory Card
We recommend to insert or remove the memory card
after turning the unit off.
Inserting the card.
Insert straight-in until it fits into place.

Notes on JPEG Recordings
Depending on the size and number of JPEG files, it
may take several minutes for the recorder to read the
content. If you don’t see an on-screen display after
several minutes, some of the files are too big —
reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 4
megapixels.
The total number of files and folders on a media are
free but the total number of files and folders on the
folder should be less than 1999.
Some media may be incompatible due to different
recording formats or the condition of the media.
When you are using software such as “Easy CD
Creator” to burn JPEG files on a CD-R, ensure that all
selected files have the “.jpg” extension before copying
them into the CD layout.
If the files have “.jpe” or “.jpeg” extensions, please
rename them as “.jpg” files.
File names without the “.jpg” extension cannot be
read by this DVD player, even though the files are
shown as JPEG image files in Windows Explorer®.
Notes on MP3 Recordings
About MP3
An MP3 file is audio data compressed using the
MPEG1 audio layer 3 file-encoding scheme. Files
that have the “.mp3” file extension are called “MP3
files”.
The recorder cannot read MP3 files that have file
extensions other than “.mp3”.
MP3 file compatibility with the recorder is lim-
ited as follows:
1. CD-R/RW physical format should be “ISO 9660” and
“JOLIET”.
2. If you record MP3 files using software which cannot
create a FILE SYSTEM (e.g., Direct-CD, etc.), it is
impossible to playback MP3 files. “Easy-CD Creator”
is recommended.
3. The total number of files and folders on the media
are free but the total number of files and folders on
the folder should be less than 1999.
This recorder requires discs/recordings to meet certain
technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback
quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to
these standards. There are many different types of
recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3
files) that require certain pre-existing conditions (see
above) to insure compatible playback.
Please note that permission is required in order to
download MP3 files and music from the Internet.
Our company has no right to grant such permis-
sion. Permission should always be sought from the
copyright owner.

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 is a high-tech, precision device. If the opti-
cal 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.
Remote Control Battery Installation
Detach the battery cover on the rear of
the remote control, and insert two R03
(size AAA) batteries with and
aligned correctly.
Caution
Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different
types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.).
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.
