• Most commercially sold video cassettes and DVDs are copy
protected; therefore, recording is usually not possible.
• You can play these discs on compatible equipment such as DVD
players after finalizing the disc on this unit.
• It is not necessary to finalize +RW. To enable play on other DVD
+RW
players, please use "Create DVD Top Menu" in the DVD Management
menu.
• 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.
• 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.)
• 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.
• You cannot record MP3 signals.
• With DVD-RAM, you can, and the audio recorded also changes.
Press [AUDIO] to change to SAP.
• You cannot change the audio type when recording an analog MTS
broadcast on a DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format), +R,
+R DL or +RW disc. Establish the appropriate setting before recording
with "Multi-channel TV Sound (Analog)" in the Setup menu.
• 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.
