RecordingPage
Can I record from a 
commercially purchased video 
cassette or DVD?Most commercially sold video cassettes and DVDs are copy 
protected; therefore, recording is usually not possible. •−
Can DVD-R, DVD-R DL, 
DVD-RW (DVD-Video format), 
+R, +R DL, and +RW recorded 
on the unit be played on other 
equipment?You can play these discs on compatible equipment such as DVD 
players after finalizing the disc on this unit.  •
29
+RW It is not necessary to finalize +RW. To enable play on other DVD 
players, please use “Create DVD Top Menu” in the DVD Management 
menu. •29
In any case, ability to play a disc depends on the condition of the 
recording, the quality of the disc, and the capability and format 
constraints of the DVD player. •−
Can I record digital audio 
signals using the unit?You cannot record digital signals. The digital audio terminals on the 
unit are for output only. (The audio recorded from a digital video 
camcorder using the DV automatic recording function, however, is 
recorded digitally.) •−
Can a digital audio signal from 
the unit be recorded to other 
equipment?You can record if using the PCM signal. When recording DVD, change 
the “Digital Audio Output” settings to the following via the Setup menu:
PCM Down Conversion: “On”
Dolby Digital: “PCM”
DTS: “PCM”
However, only
As long as digital recording from the disc is permitted.
As long as the recording equipment is compatible with 48 kHz 
sampling frequency. •

with “Multi-channel TV Sound (Analog)” in the Setup menu. •10, 12
Only one language channel is recorded from digital MTS broadcasts, 
so you will be unable to change languages during recording. Set the 
language in “Audio Language Setting” in the Setup menus. •10, 12

Glossary
BitstreamThis is a signal compressed and converted into digital form. It is 
converted back to a multi-channel audio signal, e.g., 5.1-channel, by 
a decoder.
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.
DecoderA decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This 
is called decoding.
Dolby DigitalThis is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can
also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can
be recorded on one disc using this method.
Down-mixingThis is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on 
some discs into two channels. It is useful when you want to listen to 
the 5.1-channel audio recorded on DVDs through your TV’s speakers. 
Some discs prohibit down-mixing. If this is the case, this unit can only 
output the front two channels.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good
separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are 
possible.
Dynamic rangeDynamic 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 hear dialog clearly at low volume.
Film and VideoDVD-Video are recorded using either film or video. The 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 (2 fields making up 1 frame).
FinalizeA 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, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format), +R,and +R DL on 
the unit. After finalizing, the disc becomes play-only and you can no 
longer record or edit. However, finalized DVD-RW can be formatted to 
become recordable.
FormattingFormatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM 
recordable on recording equipment.
You can format DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video format) and 
+RW on this unit.
Formatting irrevocably erases all contents.
Frame and fieldFrame refers to the single images that constitute the video you see 
on your TV. Each frame consists of 2 fields.
u
r
Frame Field Field
A frame still shows 2 fields, so there may be some blurring between 
them, but picture quality is generally better.
A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but 
there is no blurring. •
•
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. If 
you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the 
data will be compressed to 1/10-1/100 of its original size. The benefit 
of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree 
of compression.
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)An audio compression method that compresses audio to 
approximately one-tenth of its size without any significant loss of 
audio quality. You can play MP3s you have recorded onto CD-R and 
CD-RW.
Pan & Scan/LetterboxIn general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they will 
be viewed on a widescreen TV (16:9 aspect ratio), so images often 
don’t fit regular TVs (4:3 aspect ratio). 2 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.
Progressive/InterlaceNTSC, 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.
ProtectionYou can prevent accidental erasure by setting writing protection or 
erasure protection.
Sampling frequencySampling 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.
ThumbnailThis refers to a miniature representation of a picture used to display 
multiple pictures in the form of a matrix.
The model number and serial number of this product 
can be found on either the back or the bottom of the 
unit.
Please note them in the space provided below and
