Component Video - The highest quality video connection. Supported on high-end TVs and requires a special
cable.
Composite Video (Typical connection)
This unit ships with a composite video (A/V) cable for connection to TV with a standard video input as shown below.
This is the most widely used type of connection. On most TV's, this connector is colored yellow, and is normally
accompanied by stereo audio inputs, colored red and white for stereo channels right and left respectively.

First, use the supplied A/V cable to connect to the
composite video input on your TV. This is normally a
yellow-colored connector that matches the video output
on the back of this unit. If you wish to hear sound
through the TV, connect the red and white stereo audio
connections as well.
On your TV , select the video input. This is normally done
by selecting Video 1 or Video Input with the remote
control. On some TV s, this is done by selecting a
particular channel.

This is a higher quality connection than standard composite video, and requires a special S-Video cable not included.
The S-Video connector is distinguishable by its 4 pins, as shown below. If your TV has an S-Video input jack, it's
recommended that you use this type of connection for better picture quality.
Turn on the unit and select the DVD mode.
Component Video Connection
The highest quality video connection, component video requires separate cables for the Y, Cb/Pb, Cr/ Pr signals. To
use the progressive scan option on this unit, you need to use the component video output. Using the component video
output requires these steps:
1
First, use the supplied A/V cable to connect to the
component video input on your TV. Select this input.
Resetting the video output
If you inadvertently switch the OUTPUT FORMAT setting to
PROGRESSIVE while using a standard TV not capable of
PSCAN, you will lose video. If this happens, reset the
recorder to its default video settings by pressing PSCAN
and SELECT on the remote control.

Introduction to recording
You already know that DVD discs provide the highest quality
video playback available. Now, with DVD
R/RW recording,
you can create your own DVDs from your home movies,
favorite TV shows or virtually any other video source.
Recording to DVD
R/RW is easy. The process is similar in
many ways to your old VCR, but with many new
enhancements. You can record live by simply pressing one
button, or set the timer for scheduled recordings. And
DVD
RW discs can be erased and used over and over again -
more than one thousand times and still look crystal clear. Try
that with VHS tapes!
There's lots of new editing features with DVD
R/RW that
give your recordings a flexibility that you never had with VHS.
The title screen gives you quick access to your recordings
with thumbnail images you can change. You can quickly add or
delete titles or chapters.
Discs you can Record To
This unit will accept two disc types for recording:
DVD
RW and DVD
R.
DVD
R discs are "Recordable" discs that
cannot be erased. Once a recording is made to a DVD
R disc,
the disc space used by that recording can not be reclaimed,
although the recording itself can be "hidden" so it is not
viewable when the disc is played.
DVD
R discs must be finalized before they can be played
back on standard DVD player. Once this process is
complete, no more recordings can be added. This is and
important difference between DVD
R and DVD
RW discs.
While the TOC (Table of Contents) can be written to and
updated many times on a DVD
RW disc, the TOC on a
DVD
R disc can only be written once. Therefore, you cannot
move a DVD
R between the recorder and a DVD player as
you add recordings to the disc. Instead, you must complete the
disc before it is playable on a standard DVD player.
Although DVD
R offers less recording flexibility than
DVD
RW, the lower cost per disc and the fact that the material
cannot be erased or edited make it the best choice for large
distributions of recordings to friends or clients.
Think of DVD
RW (DVD+ReWritable) discs as the digital
equivalent of your old VHS tapes. Like video tape, DVD
RWdiscs can be recorded to, erased and re-used. But unlike
videotape, DVD
RW discs will retain their crystal-clear
digital quality even after being erased and re-recorded over
1000 times! This superior quality will not be degraded with
the passage of time like VHS tapes.
Also, unlike DVD+R discs, DVD+RW discs do not require a
"Finalization" process for compatibility with standard DVD
player. To understand why this is so, consider the following:
In order for your recordings to be compatible with standard
DVD player, a TOC (Table of Contents) must be written to
each disc. Since DVD
RW discs are ReWritable, the TOC
can be constantly updated as new recordings are made. This
means that a DVD
+RW disc can be played on a standard
DVD player directly after the first recording, and will remain
compatible as new material is added later.
What you can Record From
You can record your own DVD from the following sources:
TV Tuner - This unit features a built-in TV Tuner that can be
connected to a cable TV hookup or standard antenna to record
your favorite TV shows. You can auto-scan for available
channels .
AV Inputs (Composite/S-Video) - Use the Audio/Video
inputs to record from consumer electronics devices such as
your camcorder and VCR. You can also connect external TV
tuners, DVD player, etc. to the A/V inputs - basically any
video device that has a S-Video or composite video output,
DV Input/1394
About Copy Protection
You cannot record from a video source that is encoded
with Macrovision copy-protection, such as most DVD
produced by major studios. As an example, if you have
a DVD recorder connected to an AV input and attempt
to record a DVD, an error message will occur, letting
you know that the disc is copy-protected. DVD not
encoded with Macrovision can be used as a recording
source.
Although DVD
RW discs are more expensive than DVD
Rs,they can actually be more economical and convenient for
certain situations. For example, if you are recording TV
programs you may want to "recycle" discs - recording over
episodes you have already watched. In this situation,
DVD+RW discs are the best choice because a single disc can
be used over and over again - there's fewer discs to buy and
keep track of.

Setting Recording Options
There are several recording options and other settings that
should be understood and checked before you begin recording.
The record quality determines the quality of your recordings as
well as the maximum amount of video you can record on a disc.
The higher the quality, the less video recording time can be
recorded.
Setting the Record Quality

NOTE: Recording time is an approximately value.
You can set the record quality in the SETUP MENU.
Setting the Auto Chapter Option
You can set the recorder to automatically add a"chapter
marker" every 5 minutes during your recordings.
During playback, this will allow you to skip forward or
back in 5minutes intervals by using the NEXT/PREV
keys on the remote control. These chapter markers are
compatible with most standard DVD player as well.

HQ: High quality. About 60 minutes
SP: Standard play quality. About 120minutes
EP: Extended play quality. About240minutes
SLP: Super long play. About 360minutes
Checking the Time and Date
Before you begin recording, you should make sure the time
and date are both correct. The time and date are used not only
to schedule recordings, but also to label recordings that you
make live. Setting the time and date correctly is important, as
the timer recordings depend on an accurate setting. The time
format used is 24H.

visual cue to help you identify the titles on the disc.
Types of Recordings
There are two recording methods you can use:
LIVE RECORDING - You can start a live recording
by simply pressing the REC button while viewing
video from an input source, such as the TV tuner or AV
inputs. A live recording will end automatically if the
disc is full.
TIMER RECORDING - You can also schedule a
recording to automatically begin at a particular date
and time by using the DVD Recorder's built-in TIMER
function. Recording can be scheduled to record once a
week or daily.

DVD
R disc until the disc is finalized, until a
DVD
R disc is finalized, it can be recorded to,
played back and edited on the DVD recorder, but it
will not be compatible with any other DVD player,
Finalization makes the disc compatible for playback
on standard DVD players. Once a disc is finalized,
no more recordings can be added. For more on
finalization, see EDIT DISC(Page 35).
Title limit
A DVD
R/RW disc may contain up to 48 titles.
Attempting to add additional title after reaching this
limit will result in an error.
Timer Recordings
You can use the timer function to schedule recording
to begin and end at specific time. Timer recordings
are designed for unattended operation, and the unit
