General information

Features

Digital Home Cinema

Introducing YAMAHA DVD recorder in your home theater environment!

Dolby Digital and DTS are supported. You can enjoy super dynamic theatrical sound by

connecting to AV receiver/ampliﬁer.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Laboratories standard for transmitting 5.1 channels. Five full-value channels are

transmitted in this acoustic playback system. A further channel is used for low frequen-

cies (effects). The loudspeakers are arranged front left, front middle, front right, rear

left and rear right. This system is currently the most common system and is used in

cinemas.

With this DVD recorder each sound track in 2-channel Dolby Digital is recorded onto

a DVD+RW.

DTS digital out

Transmission standard for 5.1 channels from Digital Theatre Systems Inc. This is the

second most wide-spread system after Dolby Digital.

Linear PCM

Audio

Recording

M1 & M2 recording modes offer high quality picture and sound enabled by linear PCM

recording.

Six Recording Modes

You have six recording modes to choose from: M1, M2, M2x, M3, M4, M6.

Select the one best suited for your need.

Six Hours of

Recording Time

You can record up to six hours in M6 recording mode.

Fit to Space Recording

Your DVD recorder calculates the best suitable bit rates from your programmed

recording time and an available disc space.

Simple programming system for DVD recorders. Simply enter the programming num-

ber associated with your television programme. You will ﬁnd this number in your favor-

ite listings magazine.

Safe Record

Normally a recording is made at the current disc position. This is the same as for a

video cassette, in the middle of the tape for example. By holding down the

REC

S

button, the recording will be made at the end of all the other recordings to avoid over-

writing previous recordings.

New recordings on DVD+R discs are always added after all existing recordings.

Direct Record

At the touch of a button your DVD recorder, even though it is switched off, will check

which channel is currently playing on your television and record it.

Recordings made on your DVD recorder can be controlled from an external satellite

receiver.

Index Picture Screen

This screen tells you what’s on the disc. Each index screen represents a recording. On

the right hand side of the screen you can also see a disc indicator that shows the posi-

tion and length of the current recording on the disc in a graphic format. You can

choose and make your own index pictures from the title.

EDIT

DVD makes it so easy to delete titles, split titles, insert chapters automatically and

manually, and do many more things. It enables you to simply delete commercials and

unwanted scenes.

Many Playable Disc Types

The following types of disc are supported: DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW (when

recorded in video mode), CD, SVCD, VCD, CD-R, and CD-RW.

Your DVD recorder can play back pre-recorded DVDs and CDs. DVDs recorded using

this DVD recorder can be played back on current and future DVD players.

MP3-CD

PLAYBACK

MP3 ﬁles are highly compressed music ﬁles. The data is compressed to 1/10 of the vol-

ume of the original audio material using a special process. This means that 10 hours of

music can be stored on a single CD.

These music CDs can be played on this machine.

ID3 Tag

When playing MP3, your DVD recorder will display on TV the name of the albums,

tracks, and artists if ID3 Tag information is recorded on the disc.

This connector is also known as a “FireWire” or “IEEE 1394”. This connector is used

to transmit wide digital broadband signals that are used for digital video camcorders.

Using this connector, you can so easily capture and save video onto DVD from your

digital video camera.

RGB

Component

Video Input

Using your DVD recorder you can record from an RGB source such as a satellite

receiver using a SCART input (

EXT 2 AUX-I/O

socket). Video signals for the colours

R (Red), G (Green) and B (Blue) are transmitted via separate channels. This reduces

the interference that occurs with standard video cables.

Easy Link

Yamaha provides the best possible connection between your DVD recorder and other

home cinema equipment.

FOLLOW TV

This function automatically transfers all the television channel settings onto your DVD

recorder via the scart cable (

EXT 1 TO TV-I/O

socket).

Introduction

What is a DVD?

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a new storage medium that combines the convenience of

the compact disc with the latest digital video technology. DVD video uses modern

MPEG2 data compression technology that enables an entire feature ﬁlm to be stored

on a single ﬁve inch disc.

How good is the resolution of DVD compared with VHS?

The razor-sharp digital images have a resolution of more than 500 lines of 720 pixels

per line. This is more than twice as high as VHS and is even better than the laser disc. Its

picture quality is easily comparable to the digital masters produced in recording studios.

What can DVD+RW do?

DVD+ReWritable uses phase change media, the same technology on which rewritable

CDs are based. A high-performance laser is used to change the reﬂective properties of

the recording layer; this process can be repeated more than a thousand times.

What can the DVD+R do?

DVD+R (write-once DVD). Unlike a DVD+RW disc, this disc can only be written once.

If it is not ﬁnalized after a recording, further recordings can be added to it. Old record-

ings can be deleted but can no longer be overwritten. The deleted titles are marked

“

Deleted title

”.

Before this disc can be played in a DVD player, it must be ﬁnalized in the DVD recorder.

Once this process is complete, no further recordings can be added.

What can my DVD recorder do?

Your DVD recorder is a machine for recording and playing back digital video discs with

"two-way" compatibility with the universal DVD video standard. This means:

•) existing DVD video discs can be played on the recorder.

•) Recordings made on your DVD recorder can be played on other DVD video players

and DVD ROM drives.

Introduction

Since DVD ﬁlms are not normally released in all parts of the world at the same time, all

DVD players have a speciﬁc regional code. Discs can be given a regional code. If the

regional codes differ between the player and the disc, playback is not possible.

DVDs must be marked “ALL” for all regions or “2” for region 2 to work in this machine.

If the DVD is marked with a different region, it cannot be played in this DVD recorder.

The number within the globe represents the region.

Regional code 2 represents:

Europe, Japan, South Africa, Middle East (incl. Egypt).

Mains cable

Scart cable (AV-Euro cable)

Some malfunctions (frozen or distorted picture and broken sound for example) are due

to dirt on the disc. To avoid such problems you should clean your discs regularly.

1

Dirty discs should be cleaned with a soft cloth. Always wipe from the middle to

the edge.

2

Do not use any solvents such as benzine, thinners, commercially available cleaning

agents or antistatic sprays designed for vinyl records.

Question

Can I use a CD lens cleaner in the DVD recorder?

This optical unit (laser) of the DVD recorder operates at a higher power level than

the ones in normal DVDs and CD players so CD lens cleaner discs may actually

damage it.

CD lens cleaner discs should therefore not be used.

Connecting your DVD recorder

You must install the supplied batteries into the remote control before you can use it.

1

Unpack the remote control and the two AA (LR-6) batteries.

2

Open the battery compartment, insert the batteries in accordance with the polar-

ity markings, and then close the battery compartment.

The remote control is now ready to use.

The remote control has a range of approximately 5 to 10 meters.

•) Before connecting your TV, VCR, AV amp, or any other equipment to your DVD

recorder, refer to the relevant manuals ﬁrst.

•) Do not connect the power cord until all connections are complete.

•) For the best results when playing DVDs, connect the DVD recorder’s video output

directly to your TV. If you connect your TV via your VCR, the DVD copy protection

system may affect the picture quality.

•) To enjoy the surround sound capabilities offered by DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS,

MPEG-2), you need to connect one of the DVD recorder’s digital audio outputs to

an AV amp with an appropriate surround-sound decoder built-in. See “Surround

sound connections” on page 20.

•) For synchronized recordings to other components connected with digital audio

cables, the length of each track and track numbers of the recorded materials may

become different from the originals. Occasionally, it does not start recording.

Connecting your antenna as shown will allow you to record a program on your DVD

recorder while watching another program on your TV.

Connecting your DVD recorder

If your TV is not equipped with “Easy Link”, you need to connect the DVD recorder to

your TV using one of the following connection (the connection you choose will most

likely depend on the connections supported by your TV).

SCART (best picture quality)

SCART connections offer the best picture quality, so if your TV has a SCART

input, use it.

By using the DVD recorder’s user preferences, you can select whether the

EXT

1 TO TV-I/O

SCART socket outputs video signals in RGB or S-Video format.

RGB offers the best picture quality.

S-Video (very good picture quality)

S-Video connections offer better picture quality than composite video, so if your

TV has an S-Video input, use it.

Composite video (good picture quality)

If your TV has neither SCART nor S-Video inputs, use a composite video connec-

tion.

Using a SCART cable without “Easy Link”

Since SCART cables carry video and audio signals, only one cable is necessary.

2

Connect the other end of the SCART cable to a SCART input on your TV.
