Before Recording

Beforeyoustartrecording...

• This recorder can record on various disc types.

Select the disc type according to your needs

(page 30).

• Check that the disc has enough available space

t_r the recording (page 40). For DVD+RWs or

DVD-RWs, you can free up disc space by

erasing titles (page 58).

• Check that the recorder is connected to a tuner

such as a cable box or satellite receiver

(page 12). See also the tuner's instruction

lilanual.

"_" Hints

• To play a disc recorded with this recorder on other

equipment, finalize the disc (page 66). Note that you

cannot further record or edit on a finalized disc.

• If you set "Auto Finalize" to "On" in the "Features"

setup (page 103), the Auto Finalize function works tk)r

DVD-RWs (Vide() mode), DVD-Rs (Video mode) and

LSP: 4 hours 31 minutes

ESP: 5 hours 25 minutes

LP: 7 hours 14 minutes

EP: 10 hours 51 minutes

SLP: 14 hours 28 minutes

Recordingmode

Like theSP or EP recording mode of VCRs, this

recorder hits eight different recording modes.

Select a recording mode according to the time and

picture quality you need. For example, if picture

quality is your top priority, select "HQ" (high

quality). If recording time is your priority, "SLP"

can be a possible choice.

• When in a recording mode other than HQ, the recorder

compresses the audio/video data before recording.

Since the compression rate needs to decrease for fast-

moving images or if picture noise is present, recorded

data size increases, and available recording time

becomes shorter. When recording such pictures, a

recording mode offering longer recording time is

recommended.

• Situations below may cause inaccuracies with the

recording time.

Recording fast-moving or images containing picture

noise.

Recording a program with poor reception, or a

program or video source of low picture quality

Edit options for DVD+RWs/DVD-RWs

(Video mode)/DVD+Rs/DVD-Rs

You can perform simple edits. Since Video mode

titles are actual recordings on the disc, you cannot

undo any edits you make. The edit functions

available tbr Video mode titles are:

-Renaming a title (page 61).

-Erasing atitle (page 58).

-Setting protection against erasure (DVD+RWs

only) (page 58).

-Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase)

(DVD+RWs only) (page 59).

-Dividing a title (DVD+RWs only) (page 60).

• Once the disc is finalized, you cannot edit or record on

• If a message appears and indicates that the disc's

control information is full, erase unnecessary titles.

Edit optionsfor DVD-RWs(VRmode)/

DVD-Rs(VRmode)

You can enjoy advanced edit functions. First you

have two options for a DVD-RW (VR mode) and

DVD-R (VR mode): editing either the original

recording (called the "original"), or the playback

information created from the original (called a

"Playlist"). Since each is different in nature and

offers different merits, read the following and

select the one that better suits your needs.

Toeditoriginaltitles

Edits made to the original titles are final. If you

plan to retain an unaltered original recording,

create a Playlist (see below). The edit functions

available t_r original titles are:

-Renaming a title (page 61 ).

-Erasing a title (page 58).

-Erasing a chapter (page 59).

-Setting protection against erasure (page 58).

-Erasing a section ofatitle (A-B Erase) (page 59).

-Dividing a title (page 60).

TocreatePlaylisttitles

A Playlist is a group of Playlist titles created fiom

the original title. When you create a Playlist, only

the control information necessary for playback,

such its the playback order, is stored on the disc.

The original titles are left unaltered.

If you erase an original title used in a Playlist, that

Playlist is also erased.

Example: You have recorded the final few

matches of a soccer tournament on a DVD-RW

(VR mode). You want to create a digest with the

goal scenes and other highlights, but you also want

to keep the original recording.

Iu this case, you cau compile highlight sceues its a

About the DV IN jack

The DV IN jack on this recorder conforms to the

i.LINK standard. You can connect any other

equipment that has an i.LINK (DV) jack, and

record digital signals.

For more information about i.LINK, see "About

i.LINK" on page 115.

"_" Hint

If you plan to do additional editing on a disc after the

initial dub, use the DV IN ,jack and record on a DVD-RW

(VR mode) or DVD-R (VR mode). Note that erasing

unwanted scenes does not free up disc space %r DVD-Rs

(VR mode).

Connectinga DVCamcorder

to the DVINJack

You can connect a DV camcorder to the DV IN

jack on the recorder to record or edit from a DV/

D8 format tape. Operation is straightforward

Abouti.LINK

The DV IN jack on this recorder is an i.LINK-

compliant DV IN jack. This section describes the

i.LINK standard and its features.

What is i.LINK?

i.LINK is a digital serial interface for handling

digital video, digital audio and other data in two

directions between equipment having the i.LINK

jack, and for controlling other equipment.

i.LINK-compatible pieces of equipment can be

connected by a single i.LINK cable. Possible

applications are operations and data transactions

with vltrious digital AV equipment. When two or

more i.LINK-compatible equipment are

connected to this recorder in it daisy chitin,

operations and data transactions are possible with

not only the equipment that this recorder is

connected to but also with other devices via the

directly connected equipment.

Note, however, that the method of operation

sometimes vltries according to the characteristics

and specifications of the equipment to be

connected, and that operations and data

transactions are sometimes not possible on some

connected equipment.

Normally, only one piece of equipment can be connected

to this recorder by the i.LINK cable (DV connecting

cable). When connecting this recorder to i.LINK-

compatible equipment having two or more i.LINK jacks

(DV jacks), see the instruction manual of the equipment

to be connected.

About the name "i.LINK"

i.LINK is amore familiar term t_r IEEE 1394 data

transport bus proposed by SONY, and is a

trademark approved by many corporations.

IEEE 1394 is an international standard

standardized by the Institute of Electrical and

Electronics Engineers.

i.LINK baudrate

i.LINK's maximum baud rate vltries according to

the equipment. Three maximum baud rates are

defined:

SI00 (approx. 100 Mbps*)

$200 (approx. 200 Mbps)

$400 (approx. 400 Mbps)

The baud rate is listed under "Specifications" in

the instruction manual of each equipment. It is

also indicated near the i.LINK jack on some

equipment.

The maximum baud rate of equipment on which it

is not indicated such its this unit is "SI00."

When units are connected to equipment having a

different maximum baud rate, the baud rate

sometimes differs from the indicated baud rate.

* What is Mbps?

Mbps stands fbr megabits per second, or the amount of

data that can be sent or received in one second. For

example, a baud rate of 100 Mbps means that 100

megabits of data can be sent in one second.

i.LINKfunctions on this recorder

For details on how to dub when this recorder is

connected to other video equipment having DV

jacks, see page 86.

The DV jack on this recorder can only input DVC-

SD signals. It cannot output signals. The DV jack

will not accept MICROMV signals fiom

equipment such its a MICROMV digital video

camera with an i.LINK jack.

For further precautions, see the notes on page 86.

For details on precautions when connecting this

recorder, also see the instruction manuals for the

equipment to be connected.

Requiredi.LINK cable

Use the Sony i.LINK 4-pin-to-4-pin cable (during

DV/D8 dubbing).

i.LINK and _ are trademarks.
