Region code (DVD VIDEO only)
Your recorder has a region code printed on
the rear of the unit and will only play DVD
VIDEOs (playback only) labelled with
identical region codes. This system is used to
protect copyrights.
DVD VIDEOs labelled
will also play
on this recorder.
If you try to play any other DVD VIDEO,
the message “Playback prohibited by region
code.” will appear on the TV screen.
Depending on the DVD VIDEO, no region
code indication may be labelled even though
playing the DVD VIDEO is prohibited by
area restrictions.
Music discs encoded with copyright
protection technologies
This product is designed to play back discs
that conform to the Compact Disc (CD)
standard.
Various music discs encoded with copyright
protection technologies are being marketed
by some record companies. Please be aware
that among those discs, there are some that
do not conform to the CD standard and may
not be playable by this product.
Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product
which mates DVD recorded material on one
side with digital audio material on the other
side.
However, since the audio material side does
not conform to the Compact Disc (CD)
standard, playback on this product is not
guaranteed.
b Notes
• Some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-
Rs, DVD-RAMs, or CD-RWs/CD-Rs cannot be
played on this recorder due to the recording
quality or physical condition of the disc, or the
characteristics of the recording device and
authoring software. The disc will not play if it
has not been correctly finalised. For more
information, refer to the operating instructions
for the recording device.
• If the disc contains PC data unrecognisable by
this recorder, the data may be erased.
• Do not insert any discs that cannot be recorded or
played on this recorder. This may cause the
recorder to malfunction.
About Recording/
Dubbing Mode
Like the standard ×3 recording modes of
video tapes, you can select the desired
recording mode using the REC MODE
button.
Recording modes with higher quality
provide a more beautiful recording, but the
large data volume also results in a shorter
recording time.
Conversely, a longer duration provides a
longer recording time, but the lower data
volume results in a coarser picture quality.
To select further options for recording mode
(manual recording mode), set “Manual Rec.
Mode” to “On (go to setup)” in the
“Recording” setup (page 135). To record
pictures in higher quality than HQ mode on
the HDD, set “Manual Rec. Mode” to “On
(go to setup),” and then select “HQ+.” The
table on the following pages shows the
approximate recording times for the HDD
and the different DVD types in each manual
recording mode, as well as the standard
recording mode equivalents.
z Hint
To easily select a manual recording mode, press
REC MODE repeatedly to display “MN,” and
select a manual recording mode using
