Product Registration Card

Please complete and return the included product registration card, or

You can enjoy both VHS and DVD with this unit.

This DVD Video recorder records high quality images to rapid

random access capable DVD-RAM media. This has resulted in many

new features that outperform older tape formats. The following

information summarizes a few of these features.

Instant play (l 21, 33)

There is no need to rewind or search forward. Direct Navigator

guides you to the beginning of the recorded video immediately.

Instant recording (l 26)

You no longer need to search for empty disc space. By pressing the

recording button, the unit finds available recording space and begins

recording right away. There is no need to worry about overwriting

already recorded content.

Chasing playback (l 25)

There is no need to wait until recording is complete. Without stopping

recording, you can play the video currently being recorded from its

beginning.

Simultaneous Recording and Play (l 25)

While recording, you can play another video program that was

recorded previously.

Time Slip (l 23, 25)

During play and also while recording, you can jump to the scene you

wish to view by specifying the skip time.

One touch dubbing (l 58, 60)

Memorable contents on VHS can be easily dubbed onto DVD. “One

touch 2-way Transfer/Dubbing” enables you to copy from VHS to

DVD and vice versa.

Helpful Hints

Bitstream

This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)

before it is decoded into its various channels.

CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media)

CPRM is technology used to protect broadcasts that are allowed to

be recorded only once. Such broadcasts can be recorded only with

CPRM compatible recorders and discs.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound

that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest

level of sound before distortion occurs. Dynamic range compression

means reducing the gap between the loudest and softest sounds.

This means you can listen at low volumes but still hear dialog clearly.

Film and video

DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. This unit can

determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable

method of progressive output.

≥Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film

generally being 24 frames per second.

≥Video is 60 fields per second (two fields making up one frame).

Finalize

A process that makes play of a recorded CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R etc.

possible on equipment that can play such media. You can finalize

DVD-R on this unit.

Formatting

Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM

recordable on recording equipment.

You can format DVD-RAM on this unit.

Formatting irrevocably erases all recordings on the disc.

Frame and field

Frame refers to the single images that constitute the video you see

on your TV. Each frame consists of two fields.

Frame Field Field

≥A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but

picture quality is generally better.

≥A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but

there is no blurring.

Linear PCM (LPCM)

These are uncompressed digital signals. CDs are recorded with 44.1

kHz/16 bit PCM, while DVDs use PCM between 48 kHz/16 bit and 96

kHz/24 bit, allowing playback with greater quality sound.

The linear PCM signals output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

OPTICAL terminal are stereo (2 channel).

LPCM sound is available when recording in XP mode.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

An audio compression method that compresses audio to

approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of

audio quality. You can play MP3s you have recorded onto CD-R and

CD-RW.

Pan & Scan/Letterbox

In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be

viewed on a widescreen TV (16:9 aspect ratio), so images often

don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) TVs. Two styles of picture,

“Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this problem.

Pan & Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture fills the screen.

Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the

picture so the picture itself appears in an aspect ratio

of 16:9.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and

information with menus.

(This unit is compatible with version 2.0 and 1.1.)

Progressive/Interlace

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines,

whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines.

This is called 480P.

Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video

recorded on media such as DVD-Video.

Your TV must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.

Protection

You can prevent accidental erasure by setting writing protection or

erasure protection.

Sampling frequency

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave

(analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital

encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per

second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the

original sound.

VBR (Variable Bitrate)

This is a method of video recording that adjusts the bit rate according

to video signal.

Title/Chapter (DVD-Video)

DVD-Video are divided into large sections (titles) and smaller

sections (chapters). The numbers allocated to these sections are

called title numbers and chapter numbers.

Example

(1) Title 1

(2) Title 2

(3) Chapter 1

(4) Chapter 2

(5) Chapter 3

Track

This is the smallest division on CD and Video CD.

Example

(1) Track 1

(2) Track 2

(3) Track 3

(4) Track 4

(5) Track 5
