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.

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. 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
B
P
R
) jacks on the
Recorder to the corresponding IN jacks on the TV,

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.

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

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.

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

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.
No new title can be recorded Check if the maximum number of titles has been reached (message: ‘Too
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
but the titles on the disc still a play period
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. 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.

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. 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.
