What kind of disc should I use for
recording?
You can only record on DVD±R and
DVD±RW discs. DVD±R/±RW is the most
compatible recordable DVD format on the
market today. They are fully compatible to
most of the existing DVD-Video players and
DVD-ROM drives in computers.
What is the capacity of a
DVD±R/±RW disc?
4.7GB, or equivalent to 6 CDs. You can store
only one hour of recordings on a single disc at
the highest quality (DVD standard) and about
6 hours recordings at the lowest quality
(VHS standard).
The recording mode indicates the number of
hours that will t on a single disc.
What is the difference between
DVD±R and DVD±RW?
DVD±R is “recordable” and DVD±RW is
“erasable” and “rewritable”. With a DVD±R,
you can record multiple sessions on the same
disc, but when the disc is full, you cannot
record any more on the disc. The DVD±RW
allows you to record over the same disc
repeatedly.
What is DV?
Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can
connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this
recorder using a single DV cable for input and
output of audio, video, data and control signals.
– This recorder is only compatible with
DV-format (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital
satellite tuners and Digital VHS video
recorders are not compatible.
– You cannot connect more than one DV
camcorder at a time to this recorder.
– You cannot control this recorder from
external equipment connected via the
DV IN jack.
Can I copy a VHS tape or DVD
from an external player?
Yes, but only if the VHS tape or DVD is not
copy protected.
What are Titles and Chapters?
A DVD disc contains Titles and Chapters,
which are similar to the Titles and Chapters of
a book. A Title is often a complete movie and
is broken down into Chapters, or individual
scenes from the movies.
Title
Chapter
Title
Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter
cha
p
ter markers
Programs are recorded as a single title, it may
consist of one chapter or a few chapters
within a title, depending on the recording
settings.
How do I set up Titles and Chapters?
The DVD recorder automatically creates a
new Title every time you start a new
recording. You can then add Chapters to these
recordings manually or have them
automatically inserted at 5-minutes intervals.
What does “nalizing” a disc do?
Finalizing a disc locks the disc so it can no
longer be recorded, only required for DVD±R.
It will then be compatible with virtually any
DVD player. To close a disc without nalizing
it, simply stop recording and eject the disc.
you will still be able to record on the disc if
there is room for more recordings.
How good is the quality of the
recording?
There are a few quality levels to choose from,
ranging from “1 hour mode” (High Quality) to
“6 hours mode” (VHS quality.) Press REC
MODE button on the remote control to
choose the quality level that best suits your
purpose and the length of material.

Cleaning discs
Some problems occur because the disc
inside the recorder is dirty (frozen
picture, sound disruptions, picture
distortions.) To avoid these problems,
discs should be cleaned on a regular
basis.
To clean a disc, use a micro bre
cleaning cloth and wipe the disc from the
center to the edge in a straight line.
CAUTION!
Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available cleaners,
or anti-static sprays intended for analog
discs. Since the optical unit (laser) of the
DVD recorder operates at a higher
power than regular DVD or CD players,
cleaning CDs intended for DVD or CD
players may damage the optical unit
(laser.) Therefore, refrain from using a
cleaning CD.

Connecting to a VCR or
other similar device
This connection enables you to record
from a video tape to a DVD±R/±RW and
allows the VCR to be used for playback if
the DVD recorder is turned off.
AConnect the Antenna/Cable TV signal to
the antenna input (RF IN) jack on the
VCR.
BUse the supplied RF coaxial cable to
connect the antenna output (RF OUT)
jack on the VCR to the ANTENNA
jack on the DVD recorder.
CUse another RF coaxial cable to connect
the TV jack on the DVD recorder to
the antenna input jack on the TV.
DUse the audio/video cables to connect
the VIDEO/AUDIO IN-EXT on the
DVD recorder to the matching VIDEO/
AUDIO output jacks on the VCR.
EUse the audio/video cables to connect
the VIDEO/AUDIO OUT-2 on the
DVD recorder to the matching VIDEO/
AUDIO input jacks on the TV.
Helpful Hints:
– You may use the S-VIDEO (Y/C) jack
instead of VIDEO (CVBS) jack if the
connected device has the same S-VIDEO
input/output jack. This video connection
provides better picture quality.
– Most commercial video cassettes and
DVDs are copy-protected and therefore
cannot be recorded.
– Connect the DVD recorder directly to the
TV. If there is a VCR or an additional device
in between, the picture quality may be poor
because of the copy protection system built
into the DVD recorder.
