2 INTRODUCTION

Introduction

DVD Recorder

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is the new storage medium

that combines the convenience of the Compact Disc with

the latest advanced digital video technology.

DVD Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression

technology to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch

disc. DVD’s variable bitrate compression, running at up to

9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most complex

pictures in their original quality.

The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal

resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture

elements) to each line. This resolution is more than double

that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely

comparable with digital masters made in recording studios.

DVD recording is the next step in video technology.

DVD+ReWritable (DVD+RW) uses phase-change media,

the same technology that formed the basis for CD-

ReWritable. A high-power laser is used to change the

reﬂectivity of the recording layer. This process can be

repeated more than a thousand times. DVD+Recordable

(DVD+R) uses discs based on an organic dye, a technology

pioneered with the successful CD-Recordable format, to

produce discs that keep your data for a lifetime.

Your DVD Recorder is a Recorder and player for digital

video discs, with a two-way compatibility to the

universal DVD Video standard. This means that:

- existing pre-recorded DVD Video discs can play on

your DVD Recorder and

- recordings, made on your DVD Recorder,

can play on most DVD Video players and DVD-ROM

drives.

With it, you will be able to record TV programs or edit

and archive your own video camera recordings.

Superb digital picture and sound quality, quick access to

the tracks you have recorded and extensive playback

features contribute to a completely new video experience.

From now on you will enjoy full-length movies with true

cinema picture quality and stereo or Multi-channel sound

(depending on the disc and on your playback set-up). You

will ﬁnd your Recorder remarkably easy to use, with the

on-screen display on your TV, the display on the DVD

recorder and remote control.

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur because the disc inside the

Recorder is dirty. To avoid these problems, clean your

discs regularly in the following way:

● When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning

cloth. Wipe the disc in a straight line from the center

out to the edge.

Caution:

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,

commercially available cleaners, or anti-static

spray intended for analog discs.

Do not use commercially available cleaning discs to

clean the lens, as these discs may damage the

optical unit.

Remote control

Loading the batteries

1 Remove the battery compartment cover.

2 Insert two ‘AA’ (LR-6) batteries as indicated inside the

battery compartment.

3 Replace the cover.

Caution:

Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix

different types of batteries (standard, alkaline,

etc.). This may reduce the lifetime of the batteries.

connections are made.

- Do not connect your DVD Recorder to your TV via your

VCR. The video quality could be distorted by the copy

protection system.

- For better sound, connect the Recorder’s audio outputs

to your ampliﬁer, receiver, stereo system or A/V

equipment. See ‘Connecting to an A/V receiver or A/V

ampliﬁer.’

Caution:

Do not connect the Recorder’s audio output to the

phono input of your audio system. This could

damage your equipment.

Step 1: Connecting to the

antenna or Cable TV signal

1 Remove the antenna cable from your TV and connect

it to the ANTENNA jack at the back of the DVD

Recorder.

2 Connect one end of the antenna cable supplied (1) to

the TV jack on the DVD Recorder and the other end

to the antenna input jack on your TV.

The antenna connection transmits TV channels through

the Recorder to the TV. You still need a video connection

to send DVD playback from the Recorder to the TV. See

‘Connecting to a TV.’

Step 2: Connecting to a TV

This DVD Recorder is equipped with Directional

Correlational Deinterlacing, known as DCDi™. DCDi was

developed by Faroudja Laboratories for ultra-high-end

home theater equipment to eliminate the jagged edges

that appear when standard interlaced video is viewed on

Progressive Scan displays. This patented technology

identiﬁes edges at any angle in moving video images and

interpolates along the edge, pixel-by-pixel, to produce

smooth, natural looking images.

To obtain the highest possible picture and sound quality

from your TV, use the Progressive Scan video jacks on the

DVD Recorder and TV.

Progressive Scan connection

● Connect the PROG SCAN OUT (YP

) jacks on the

Recorder to the corresponding IN jacks on the TV,

using the Component Video cable supplied (2) as

shown in the drawing.

● Connect the audio Left (white) and Right (red) OUT

jacks on the Recorder to the corresponding AUDIO

IN jacks on the TV using the audio cables supplied (4).

Note:

The PROG SCAN OUT jacks do not carry Closed Captioning or

V-chip signals. These features will not be available if you use the

Progressive Scan connection.

Component Video (YP

) connection

If your TV does not have Progressive Scan, connect the

DVD Recorder with the Component Video jacks.

● Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO (YP

) OUT

jacks to the corresponding IN jacks on the TV, using

the Component Video cable supplied (2) as shown in

the drawing.

Step 5: Connections - Front of

your DVD Recorder (optional)

Video camera connection

● If you have a DV or Digital 8 video camera, connect

the i-link DV input jack on the Recorder (1) to the

corresponding output jack on the video camera using

the i-link cable of your video camera.

This connection enables digital recording from the

following devices:

–DV or Digital 8 video camera

– Digital video deck

–Personal computer with DV output

–DVD recorder with DV output

● If you have a Hi-8 or S-VHS(C) video camera, connect

the DVD Recorder’s S-VIDEO IN jack to the

corresponding OUT jack on the video camera. Use

the S-Video cable supplied (2).Then connect the

AUDIO Left (white) and Right (red) IN jacks of the

DVD Recorder to the corresponding OUT jacks on

the video camera using the AUDIO cable supplied (4).

● Otherwise, connect the VIDEO IN jack on the

DVD Recorder (yellow) to the corresponding OUT

jack on the video camera. Use the video cable

supplied (3). Then connect the AUDIO Left (white)

and Right (red) IN jacks of the DVD Recorder to the

corresponding OUT jacks on the video camera using

the AUDIO cable supplied (4).

● If your video camera has mono sound, use only the

left audio connector. In this case the sound will be

recorded on both audio channels.

Notes

You will need only one video connection and one audio

connection: only the i-link DV connection carries both video and

audio. You may not use all the jacks on the DVD Recorder.

Step 6: Power supply

● Make sure all necessary connections are made before

connecting the DVD Recorder to the power supply.

● Plug the supplied power cable into the Power jack on

the back of the Recorder.

● Connect the power cord to an AC outlet.

Note:

Make sure the local power voltage matches the required 110V.

When the Recorder is in the ‘standby/power off ’ position,

it is still consuming some power. If you wish to disconnect your

DVD Recorder completely from power, remove the power cord

from the AC Outlet.

When the DVD Recorder is disconnected from the power,

TV channels and timer data usually will be stored one year.

Switching on

● Switch on the TV and the ampliﬁer, then select the

TV’s Video In channel or the channel you have chosen

for video playback

● Press STANDBY/ON to turn on the Recorder.

➤ The Recorder display lights. If you have not yet

24 RECORDING

Recording

Before you start recording

Recordings on a DVD+RW disc are called ‘titles.’ Every

title consists of one or more chapters.

For more information about how to go to other titles or

chapters see ‘Playback - General features.’

Important:

Recordings on a DVD+RW begin at the disc

pointer, the point where the last recording

stopped. Other recordings may be overwritten

without notice, unless the disc is write protected.

In this respect, your DVD Recorder behaves just

like a Video Cassette Recorder.

If you want to make a recording without the risk of

overwriting earlier recordings use the safe Record

Function (see ‘Manual Recording - Safe Recording’).

In the Index Picture Screen you can select the point where

you want to start your recording. Use w/v (down/up

cursor) and / to select a location on the disc bar at

the right of the Index Picture Screen.

Your DVD Recorder always checks the disc that you have

inserted:

➤ When a DVD+RW/+R disc is inserted on which

recordings have been made, the Index Picture Screen

is shown on your TV screen.

➤ If the inserted disc is a completely empty

recordable disc, the message EMPTY DISC appears on

the display.

➤ If the inserted disc is a DVD+RW disc with a

content that is not DVD video compatible (e.g. a data

disc), a dialog box is shown with the option to erase

or eject the disc. You can only record on this disc after

erasing it with the REC.

A disc can hold up to 48 titles (including empty titles).

When this maximum is reached, the on-screen message

‘Too many titles’ appears if you want to make a new

recording. You have to erase a title ﬁrst. See ‘Managing

Disc Content - Erasing a Title.’

Notes:

- You can not access the system menu while recording.

- On a disc containing PAL recordings, no NTSC recordings can

be made and vice versa. On an empty disc, either type of

recordings can be made.

- No recordings can be made from so-called ‘Pseudo-PAL’ or

PAL-60 sources.

- Power interruption to the Recorder while recording on a

DVD+R or a unit failure/system crash may destroy all material

recorded on the Disc.

Note:

After a short recording on a new disc, a few minutes will be

Safe Recording

When you start recording on a DVD+RW disc by brieﬂy

pressing REC, a recording on DVD+RW will be made

from the current position of the disc pointer. To prevent

this do the following:

● Hold the REC for about two seconds until ‘SAFE

RECORD’ appears on the display.

● The recorder automatically jumps to the end of the

last title on the disc and starts recording.

➤ If no free space is left. The display will show ‘DISC

FULL.’ Safe record is not possible then.

Recordings on DVD+R are always automatically made

after the last title on the disc.

Manual audio control

You can control the audio volume recording level of your

DVD Recorder manually.

1 In monitor mode, press REC VOLUME AUTO/

MAN on the front of the DVD Recorder.

➤ The display will show the current audio level, and

‘MANUAL’ appears.

the DVD Recorder so that the ‘0 dB’ mark lights up

during the loudest parts of the recording.

3 Return to automatic audio level control by pressing

REC VOLUME AUTO/MAN again.

➤ The display will show the current disc position, and

‘MANUAL’ disappears.

Timer programming

The DVD Recorder needs the following information for

every programmed recording:

- the date on which the recording is to be made;

- the channel;

- the start and stop time of the recording;

- the recording mode

The DVD Recorder stores all the information mentioned

above in a timer block. You can program up to six timer

blocks, one year in advance.

When you have programmed the timer, a red line on the

disc bar (both on the display and on the Index Picture

Screen) indicate what part of the disc will be overwritten

by the programmed recording from the current disc

position.

When all timer blocks are full, timer programming and

VCR Plus+ system cannot be accessed. For clearing a

timer block, see ‘Cleaning a Timer block.’

When using timer recording.

We recommend that you set the timer recording at least

1-2 minutes ahead of the actual published program start

time to ensure the recording of all the desired broadcast

material.

This is due to the initial 20 seconds of spin time required

for the Disc to ready itself for operation. Also, it is normal

for networks to begin the broadcast of programs about

one minute prior to the announced time. This is done to

possibly catch the viewer’s attention as they channel scan

or surf through available channel selections.

Timer programming with the VCR

marked as chapters and hidden. During playback you will

watch your recording without the hidden chapters.

Note:

The picture may freeze brieﬂy between scenes.

Each title consists of chapters. With the Edit menu, any

chapter can be hidden or made visible. Normally during

recording, chapter markers are inserted automatically

every ﬁve to six minutes. (This setting can be changed in

the record settings menu. See ‘User preferences - Record

Settingss - Auto chapters.’) After the recording is ﬁnished,

you can manually add and remove chapter markers via the

Edit menu. Both automatically generated and manually

inserted chapter markers can be removed.

After editing, the modiﬁed version of a title is the default

playback version. The original can be accessed via the ‘Play

full title’ option in the title settings menu. Other DVD

players may still play the original. To guarantee that the

edited version will play on these DVD players, choose

‘Make edits DVD-compatible’ in the disc settings menu.

Troubleshooting

If it appears that the DVD Recorder is faulty, ﬁrst consult this checklist. It may be that something has been overlooked.

Under no circumstances attempt to repair the system yourself; this will invalidate the warranty. Look for the speciﬁc

symptom(s). Then perform only the actions listed to remedy the speciﬁc symptom(s).

Symptom Remedy

The Recorder does not respond to the

remote control

Aim the remote control directly at the sensor on the front of the Recorder.

Avoid all obstacles which may interfere with the signal path.

Inspect or replace the batteries in the remote control.

No power Make sure power cord is properly connected.

Check if there is power at the AC outlet by plugging in another appliance.

No picture Check if the TV is switched on.

Check the video connection.

Distorted picture / distorted sound Check the disc for ﬁngerprints and clean the disc with a soft cloth, wiping

from the center to the edge in a straight line.

Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may appear. This is not a

malfunction.

Recorder does not play disc Ensure the disc label is facing upward and the right disc type is inserted.

Clean the disc.

Check if the disc is defective by trying another disc.

Check if the region code of the disc matches the region code of the

Recorder (pre-recorded DVD discs only). See ‘playing a pre-recorded DVD-

Video disc.’

Check if Child Lock is activated.

No sound Check audio connections.

If using a HiFi ampliﬁer, try another sound source.

Distorted sound from HiFi ampliﬁer Check to make sure that no audio connections are made to the ampliﬁer’s

phono input.

Check to make sure that analog input of the ampliﬁer is not connected to

the digital output of the DVD Recorder.

Distorted or black and white picture with

DVD or Video CD disc

The disc format does not match the color system of the TV (PAL/NTSC).

No audio at digital output Check the digital connections.

Check the settings menu to make sure the digital output is set to on.

Check if the audio format of the selected audio language matches your

receiver capabilities.

The recorder cannot ﬁnd any channels

higher than 13

Auto Cable Detect has erroneously selected cable or antenna. Select the

correct type in the Installation menu. See ‘

User preferences - Installation -

Cable/Antenna.’

Buttons on the DVD Recorder do not work Disconnect and reconnect the DVD Recorder from the power outlet. If this

does not solve the problem, check if the remote control still works. If so, the

Recorder is probably in trade mode. Disconnect the Recorder from the

power source and reconnect it while pressing and holding / and 9 for a few

seconds.

Recorder does not respond to all operating

commands during playback

Some operations are not permitted by the disc. Refer to the instructions in

the disc jacket or case.

many titles’ on screen). If so, delete a title next to a free space.

Check if the disc is write protected. If so, unlock the disc in the disc settings

menu (message: ‘Disc locked’ on screen).

46 TROUBLESHOOTING

The disc can not be erased because the

Index Picture Screen does not appear

Open the tray while leaving the disc in.

Press and hold CLEAR for about ﬁve seconds until the tray closes. The disc

is technically not yet erased but you can start a new recording like on a blank

disc.

The Index Picture Screen does not appear

Take out the disc. Clean the disc. Insert the disc.

If available choose ‘Adapt disc format’ (see

User preferences - Feature

settings).

A DVD player shows the Index Picture

Screen but does not react to the 2

Press 9 to exit the Index Picture Screen, then press 2.

A DVD+RW disc does not play on a certain

DVD player

• There are DVD Players that will not play recordings made with a DVD

Recorder. With a special procedure the recorder will solve this problem

for some players. Proceed as follows:

1. Put the disc in the drawer (do not close the tray).

2. Press and hold the 2 key on the remote control for several seconds until

the tray closes. The disc is now modiﬁed.

3. If the change has no effect, you may perform the same procedure with the

3 key on the remote control.

Note:

Modifying the disc can solve the problem for a speciﬁc player model, but playback

in other DVD players may no longer be possible.

It is therefore recommended to use this procedure carefully and only when needed.

•To revert the disc to the original state, follow the same procedure with the

1 key on the remote control.

Note:

To achieve maximum compatibility, make sure the disc contains at least 5 minutes

recorded in HQ mode, 12 minutes in SP+, 20 minutes in EP or 30 minutes in EP+

mode. For more information about compatibility with DVD players refer to

‘Troubleshooting’ in the instructions for Use.

Diagnosis program

If the Recorder is still faulty you can start the Diagnosis

Program in the Recorder.

You can operate the Diagnosis Program by following these

instructions step by step.

Instructions

1 Unplug the power cord of the Recorder.

2 Press and hold the 2 while you reconnect the power

cord of the Recorder.

➤ On the display, BUSY appears with a counter

number. Release the 2.

➤ After a few minutes, the message changes from

‘BUSY’ to ‘FAIL’ or ‘PASS.’

3 If FAIL appears on the display, there is apparently a fail-

ure in your Recorder. Your Recorder should be

repaired. Consult your authorized YAMAHA dealer or

Service Center for assistance.

4 If ‘PASS’ appears on the display, there is apparently no

failure in your Recorder. In this case, the failure can be

caused by incorrect interpretation of the operating

instructions, a wrong disc in use, or incorrect connec-

tions. Consult your authorized YAMAHA dealer or

Service Center for assistance.

5 Unplug the power cord, then reconnect it to a power

source and use the DVD Recorder again as usual.

DVD Recorder system notes

DVD+RW and DVD+R discs recorded on your DVD

recorder can be played on most DVD players and DVD-

ROM drives, with the following issues:

- The time search function will not be available.

- The screen will display twice as many titles as there are

on the disc.

This is due to the ‘DVD+RW Video Format Speciﬁcations’

and the ‘DVD+R Video Format Speciﬁcations.’ It is not a

malfunction.

A DVD+RW/+R disc may not play on certain DVD Video

players.

A DVD+RW/+R disc recorded on a different type or

brand of Recorder can play, but may not provide all

features commonly available to it, such as the on-screen

disc bar, the disc settings menu, the title settings menu,

and editing.

Refer to ‘Adapt disc format.’ If the disc is erase-protected,

the status cannot be changed.

When using manual recording, the DVD Recorder will

advise you before adapting the format of the disc or

removing non-video data (See ‘Before you start

recording’). When using timer recording, however,

the DVD Recorder will always start to record, unless the

disc is write-protected. Menus, edits and other data

recorded on a different device (e.g. a PC) may be lost.

Because of the Variable Bit Rate, a title map takes up less

or more space than the overwritten title, even though the

duration is the same. As a result, part of the original title

may remain, or part of the next title may be lost. The

maximum deviation is ﬁve minutes.

When you connect a remote control to the IN RC6

Remote Control Input on the back of the Recorder,

the ﬁrst signals from the remote control may be lost.

After a power interruption during recording, the Index

Picture Screen may not match the actual video content on

the disc. The last recorded title may be lost.

DVD Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc. DVD’s variable bitrate compression, running at up to 9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most complex pictures in their original quality. The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line.This resolution is more than double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely comparable with digital masters made in recording studios. DVD recording is the next step in video technology. DVD+ReWritable (DVD+RW) uses phase-change media, the same technology that formed the basis for CDReWritable. A high-power laser is used to change the reflectivity of the recording layer. This process can be repeated more than a thousand times. DVD+Recordable (DVD+R) uses discs based on an organic dye, a technology pioneered with the successful CD-Recordable format, to produce discs that keep your data for a lifetime. Your DVD Recorder is a Recorder and player for digital video discs, with a two-way compatibility to the universal DVD Video standard. This means that: - existing pre-recorded DVD Video discs can play on your DVD Recorder and - recordings, made on your DVD Recorder, can play on most DVD Video players and DVD-ROM drives. pre-recorded DVD DVD+R(W) DVD Video player DVD recorder With it, you will be able to record TV programs or edit and archive your own video camera recordings. Superb digital picture and sound quality, quick access to the tracks you have recorded and extensive playback features contribute to a completely new video experience. From now on you will enjoy full-length movies with true cinema picture quality and stereo or Multi-channel sound (depending on the disc and on your playback set-up).You will find your Recorder remarkably easy to use, with the on-screen display on your TV, the display on the DVD recorder and remote control. Cleaning discs Some problems occur because the disc inside the Recorder is dirty. To avoid these problems, clean your discs regularly in the following way: ● When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc in a straight line from the center out to the edge. Caution: Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog discs. Do not use commercially available cleaning discs to clean the lens, as these discs may damage the optical unit. Remote control Loading the batteries 1 Remove the battery compartment cover. 2 Insert two ‘AA’ (LR-6) batteries as indicated inside the battery compartment. 3 Replace the cover. Caution: Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.).This may reduce the lifetime of the batteries. 2 INTRODUCTION Connections - back of your DVD Recorder - Please refer to your TV,VCR, Stereo and any other User Manual(s) as necessary to make the optimal connections. - Do not connect the power cords until all other connections are made. - Do not connect your DVD Recorder to your TV via your VCR.

It may be that something has been overlooked. Under no circumstances attempt to repair the system yourself; this will invalidate the warranty. Look for the specific symptom(s). Then perform only the actions listed to remedy the specific symptom(s). Symptom Remedy The Recorder does not respond to the remote control Aim the remote control directly at the sensor on the front of the Recorder. Avoid all obstacles which may interfere with the signal path. Inspect or replace the batteries in the remote control. No power Make sure power cord is properly connected. Check if there is power at the AC outlet by plugging in another appliance. No picture Check if the TV is switched on. Check the video connection. Distorted picture / distorted sound Check the disc for fingerprints and clean the disc with a soft cloth, wiping from the center to the edge in a straight line. Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may appear. This is not a malfunction. Recorder does not play disc Ensure the disc label is facing upward and the right disc type is inserted. Clean the disc. Check if the disc is defective by trying another disc. Check if the region code of the disc matches the region code of the Recorder (pre-recorded DVD discs only). See ‘playing a pre-recorded DVDVideo disc.’ Check if Child Lock is activated. No sound Check audio connections. If using a HiFi amplifier, try another sound source. Distorted sound from HiFi amplifier Check to make sure that no audio connections are made to the amplifier’s phono input. Check to make sure that analog input of the amplifier is not connected to the digital output of the DVD Recorder.

A DVD+RW disc does not play on a certain DVD player • There are DVD Players that will not play recordings made with a DVD Recorder. With a special procedure the recorder will solve this problem for some players. Proceed as follows: 1. Put the disc in the drawer (do not close the tray). 2. Press and hold the 2 key on the remote control for several seconds until the tray closes. The disc is now modified. 3. If the change has no effect, you may perform the same procedure with the 3 key on the remote control. Note: Modifying the disc can solve the problem for a speciﬁc player model, but playback in other DVD players may no longer be possible. It is therefore recommended to use this procedure carefully and only when needed. • To revert the disc to the original state, follow the same procedure with the 1 key on the remote control. Note: To achieve maximum compatibility, make sure the disc contains at least 5 minutes recorded in HQ mode, 12 minutes in SP+, 20 minutes in EP or 30 minutes in EP+ mode. For more information about compatibility with DVD players refer to ‘Troubleshooting’ in the instructions for Use. 46 TROUBLESHOOTING If the Recorder is still faulty you can start the Diagnosis Program in the Recorder. You can operate the Diagnosis Program by following these instructions step by step. Instructions DVD Recorder system notes DVD+RW and DVD+R discs recorded on your DVD recorder can be played on most DVD players and DVDROM drives, with the following issues: - The time search function will not be available. - The screen will display twice as many titles as there are on the disc. This is due to the ‘DVD+RW Video Format Specifications’ and the ‘DVD+R Video Format Specifications.’ It is not a malfunction. A DVD+RW/+R disc may not play on certain DVD Video players. 1 Unplug the power cord of the Recorder. 2 Press and hold the 2 while you reconnect the power cord of the Recorder. ➤ On the display, BUSY appears with a counter number. Release the 2. ➤ After a few minutes, the message changes from ‘BUSY’ to ‘FAIL’ or ‘PASS.’ 3 If FAIL appears on the display, there is apparently a failure in your Recorder.Your Recorder should be repaired. Consult your authorized YAMAHA dealer or Service Center for assistance. 4 If ‘PASS’ appears on the display, there is apparently no failure in your Recorder. In this case, the failure can be caused by incorrect interpretation of the operating instructions, a wrong disc in use, or incorrect connections. Consult your authorized YAMAHA dealer or Service Center for assistance. 5 Unplug the power cord, then reconnect it to a power source and use the DVD Recorder again as usual. A DVD+RW/+R disc recorded on a different type or brand of Recorder can play, but may not provide all features commonly available to it, such as the on-screen disc bar, the disc settings menu, the title settings menu, and editing. Refer to ‘Adapt disc format.’ If the disc is erase-protected, the status cannot be changed. When using manual recording, the DVD Recorder will advise you before adapting the format of the disc or removing non-video data (See ‘Before you start recording’). When using timer recording, however, the DVD Recorder will always start to record, unless the disc is write-protected. Menus, edits and other data recorded on a different device (e.g. a PC) may be lost. Because of the Variable Bit Rate, a title map takes up less or more space than the overwritten title, even though the duration is the same. As a result, part of the original title may remain, or part of the next title may be lost. The maximum deviation is five minutes. When you connect a remote control to the IN RC6 Remote Control Input on the back of the Recorder, the first signals from the remote control may be lost. After a power interruption during recording, the Index Picture Screen may not match the actual video content on the disc. The last recorded title may be lost.
