• To record a clearer picture, use the
S video jack.
The S-VIDEO jack has priority over
the VIDEO (yellow) jack.
Preparation
• When you record on a DVD-RAM/R/RW disc, load it into the recorder.
– Load a disc which has sufficient remaining space to record the programme.
– Make sure the loaded disc is not write-protected.
Notes
• If a source of high quality sound track such as DVD audio is recorded with this recorder, the sound quality becomes regular
audio CD quality. Refer to the instructions of the connected equipment.
• When you record an external source onto a DVD-R/RW disc or the contents which will be copied to a DVD/R/RW disc later
on, set the connected equipment to output sound you want to record (if selectable such as multiplex broadcasting), as the
recorder records sounds of external source in stereo onto a DVD-R/RW disc, ignoring the setting of "DVD compatible mode"
( page 162).
• DVD-R/RW discs cannot record contents with copy restriction signal embedded (copy-protected or copy once contents),
DVD-RAM discs can record copy once contents.
• Some satellite programmes via a connected tuner may contain both 4:3 pictures and 16:9 pictures. DVD-R/RW discs cannot
record such contents, under restriction of the DVD-Video standard. To record these programmes, use the HDD or DVD-RAM
discs.
