About the hard disk drive
The hard disk has a high storage
density, which enables long
recording durations and quick
access to the written data. However,
it can easily be damaged by shock,
vibration or dust, and should be kept
away from magnets. To avoid losing
important data, observe the
following precautions.
Do not apply a strong shock to the
recorder.
Do not place the recorder in a
location subject to mechanical
vibrations or in an unstable
location.
Do not place the recorder on top of
a hot surface, such as a VCR or
amplifier (receiver).
Do not use the recorder in a place
subject to extreme changes in
temperature (temperature gradient
less than 10 °C/hour).
Do not move the recorder with its
mains lead connected.
Do not disconnect the mains lead
while the power is on.
When disconnecting the mains
lead, turn off the power and make
sure that the hard disk drive is not
operating (the clock is displayed in
the front panel display and all
recording or dubbing has stopped).
Do not move the recorder for one
minute after you have unplugged
the mains lead.
Do not attempt to replace or
upgrade the hard disk by yourself,
as this may result in malfunction.
If the hard disk drive should
malfunction, you cannot recover lost
data. The hard disk drive is only a
temporary storage space.

About repairing the hard disk
drive
The contents of the hard disk drive
may be checked in case of repair
or inspection during a malfunction
or modification. However, the
contents will not be backed up or
saved by Sony.
If the hard disk needs to be
formatted or replaced, it will be
done at the discretion of Sony. All
contents of the hard disk drive will
be erased, including contents that
violate copyright laws.
On power sources
The recorder is not disconnected
from the AC power source (mains)
as long as it is connected to the
wall outlet, even if the recorder
itself has been turned off.
If you are not going to use the
recorder for a long time, be sure to
disconnect the recorder from the
wall outlet. To disconnect the AC
power cord (mains lead), grasp the
plug itself; never pull the cord.
Before disconnecting the AC
power cord (mains lead), check
that the recorder’s hard disk is not
operating (recording or dubbing)
on the front panel display.
On placement
Place the recorder in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
build-up in the recorder.
Do not place the recorder on a soft
surface such as a rug that might
block the ventilation holes.
Do not place the recorder in a
confined space such as a bookshelf
or similar unit.
Do not place the recorder in a
location near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical
shock.
Do not place the recorder in an
inclined position. It is designed to
be operated in a horizontal
position only.
Keep the recorder and discs away
from equipment with strong
magnets, such as microwave
ovens, or large loudspeakers.
Do not place heavy objects on the
recorder.
On recording
Note that the contents of the
recording cannot be compensated
for under any and all conditions,
including conditions that may
arise due to a malfunction of this
unit.
Make trial recordings before
making the actual recording.

Note on playback operations of DVD VIDEOs/
VIDEO CDs
Some playback operations of DVD VIDEOs/
VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by software
producers. Since this recorder plays DVD
VIDEOs/VIDEO CDs according to the disc
contents the software producers designed, some
playback features may not be available. Also, see
the instructions supplied with the DVD VIDEOs/
VIDEO CDs.
Region code (DVD VIDEO only)
Your recorder has a region code printed on the rear
of the unit and will only play DVD VIDEOs
(playback only) labelled with identical region
codes. This system is used to protect copyrights.
DVD VIDEOs labelled will also play on this
recorder.
If you try to play any other DVD VIDEO, the
message “Playback prohibited by region code.”
will appear on the TV screen. Depending on the
DVD VIDEO, no region code indication may be
labelled even though playing the DVD VIDEO is
prohibited by area restrictions.
Music discs encoded with copyright protection
technologies
This product is designed to play back discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with
copyright protection technologies are being
marketed by some record companies. Please be
aware that among those discs, there are some that
do not conform to the CD standard and may not be
playable by this product.
Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which
mates DVD recorded material on one side with
digital audio material on the other side.
However, since the audio material side does not
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard,
playback on this product is not guaranteed.
b Notes
Some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, or
CD-RWs/CD-Rs cannot be played on this recorder due
to the recording quality or physical condition of the
disc, or the characteristics of the recording device and
authoring software. The disc will not play if it has not
been correctly finalised. For more information, see the
operating instructions for the recording device.
You cannot mix VR mode and Video mode on the same
DVD-RW. To change the disc’s format, reformat the
disc (page 29). Note that the disc’s contents will be
erased after reformatting.
You cannot shorten the time required for recording
even with high-speed discs.
It is recommended that you use discs with “For Video”
printed on their packaging.
You cannot add new recordings to DVD+Rs, DVD-Rs,
or DVD-RWs (Video mode) that contain recordings
made on other DVD equipment.
In some cases, you may not be able to add new
recordings to DVD+RWs that contain recordings made
on other DVD equipment. If you do add a new
recording, note that this recorder will rewrite the DVD
menu.
You cannot edit recordings on DVD+RWs, DVD-RWs
(Video mode), DVD+Rs, or DVD-Rs that are made on
other DVD equipment.
If the disc contains PC data unrecognizable by this
recorder, the data may be erased.
You may not be able to record on some recordable
discs, depending on the disc.

Playback
MP3 is audio compression technology that
satisfies certain ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is
image compression technology.
You can play MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3)
format audio tracks and JPEG image files on
DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs) or
JPEG image files on DATA DVDs (DVD-ROMs/
DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs).
DATA CDs must be recorded according to
ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet format for the
recorder to recognize the MP3 tracks. DATA
DVDs must be recorded in Universal Disc Format
(UDF). You can also play discs recorded in
MultiSession.
See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-
RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW drives and the recording
software (not supplied) for details on the recording
format.
Note on MultiSession/Border discs
If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are
recorded in the first session/border, the recorder
will also play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image
files in other sessions/borders. If audio tracks and
images in Music CD format or Video CD format
are recorded in the first session/border, only the
first session/border will be played back.
b Note
The recorder may not be able to play some DATA CDs/
DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write format.
The recorder can play the following tracks and
files:
MP3 audio tracks with the extension “.MP3,”
“.mp3,” or “.Mp3.”
JPEG image files with the extension “.JPEG,”
“.jpg,” “.JPG,” “.Jpg,” “.jpeg,” or “.Jpeg.”
JPEG image files that conform to the DCF*
image file format.
* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image standards
for digital cameras regulated by JEITA (Japan
Electronics and Information Technology Industries
Association).
b Notes
The recorder will play any data with the extension
“.MP3,” “.mp3,” “.Mp3,” “.JPEG,” “.jpg,” “.JPG,”
“.Jpg,” “.jpeg,” or “.Jpeg” even if they are not in MP3
or JPEG format. Playing these data may generate a loud
noise which could damage your speaker system.
The recorder does not conform to audio tracks in
mp3PRO format.
Some files cannot be played.
The letters that cannot be displayed are replaced with
“*.”
About MP3 audio tracks and JPEG
image files
MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image
files that the recorder can play
,continued

Albums play in the following order:
Structure of disc contents
When you insert a DATA CD/DATA DVD and
press H, the numbered tracks (or files) are
played sequentially, from 1 through 7. For
JPEG image files, press to go to the next
album. (For instance, when you want to go from
1 to 2.) Any sub-albums/tracks (or files)
contained within a currently selected album take
priority over the next album in the same tree.
(Example: C contains D so 4 is played before
5.) When you press TITLE LIST and the list of
album names appears (page 32), the album names
are arranged in the following order: A t B t
C t D t F t G. Albums that do not
contain tracks (or files) (such as album E) do not
appear in the list.
z Hints
If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the
track/file names when you store the tracks (or files) in
a disc, the tracks and files will be played in that order.
Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start
playback, it is recommended that you create albums
with no more than two trees.
b Notes
Depending on the software you use to create the DATA
DVD/DATA CD, the playback order may differ from
the above illustration.
No more than a total of 199 individual folders can be
played. (Folders that do not contain JPEG/MP3 files
are counted as well.)
No more than a total of 999 folders and files can be
played. (Files other than JPEG/MP3 files, and folders
that do not contain JPEG/MP3 files are counted as
well.)
No more than 200 folders and files can be recognized
in a single folder. (Folders that do not contain JPEG/
MP3 files are counted as well.)
Proceeding to the next or another album may take some
time.
This recorder supports MP3 audio bit rates up to 160
kbps.

Erasing and Editing
Erasing and Editing
Before Editing
This recorder offers various edit options for
various disc types. Before you edit, check the disc
type in the front panel display, and select the
option available for your disc (page 8).
b Notes
You may lose the edited contents if you remove the disc
or a timer recording starts while editing.
DVD discs created by DVD video cameras cannot be
edited on this recorder.
You can enjoy advanced edit functions. First you
have two options for the HDD and DVD-RWs
(VR mode): editing either the original recording
(called the “original”), or the playback
information created from the original (called a
“Playlist”). Since each is different in nature and
offers different merits, read the following and
select the one that better suits your needs.
To edit original titles
Edits made to the original titles are final. If you
plan to retain an unaltered original recording,
create and edit a Playlist (see below). The edit
functions available for original titles are:
Labelling a title (page 66).
Setting protection against erasure (page 66).
Erasing a title (page 66).
Erasing multiple titles (page 68).
– Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase) (page 67).
Erasing all titles on the disc (page 69).
Erasing a chapter (page 67).
Dividing one title into two titles (HDD only)
(page 68).
To create and edit Playlist titles
A Playlist is a group of Playlist titles created from
the original title for editing purposes. When you
create a Playlist, only the control information
necessary for playback, such as the playback
order, is stored on the disc. Since the original titles
are left unaltered, Playlist titles can be re-edited.
Example: You have recorded the final few
matches of a football tournament on a DVD-RW
(VR mode). You want to create a digest with the
goal scenes and other highlights, but you also want
to keep the original recording.
In this case, you can compile highlight scenes as a
Playlist title. You can even rearrange the scene
order within the Playlist title (“Creating and
Editing a Playlist” on page 70).
The advanced edit functions available for Playlist
titles are:
Setting protection against erasure (HDD only)
(page 66).
Labelling a title (page 66).
Erasing a title (page 66).
Erasing multiple titles (page 68).
– Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase) (page 67).
Rearranging the title order (DVD-RWs (VR
mode) only) (page 71).
Dividing a title into multiple titles (page 68).
Combining multiple titles into one title
(page 71).
Erasing a chapter (page 67).
z Hint
You can display the disc’s Playlist titles in the Title List
(Playlist), or the original titles in the Title List (Original).
To switch the two Title Lists, press TOOLS while a Title
List is displayed, and select “Original” or “Playlist.”

b Notes
The Playlist title calls up data from the original titles for
playback. When an original title is used for a Playlist
title, the original title cannot be erased.
If a message appears and indicates that the disc’s
control information is full, erase or edit unnecessary
titles.
Playlist titles containing titles recorded with the “Copy-
Once” copy protection signal cannot be dubbed or
moved (page 73).
You can perform simple edits. Since Video mode
titles are actual recordings on the disc, you cannot
undo any edits you make. The edit functions
available for Video mode titles are:
Setting protection against erasure (page 66).
Labelling a title (page 66).
Erasing a title (page 66).
Erasing multiple titles (page 68).
Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase)
(DVD+RWs only) (page 67).
Erasing all titles on the disc (page 69).
Erasing titles to open up disc space (Disc Map)
(DVD+RWs and DVD-RWs (Video mode)
only) (page 69).
b Notes
When editing a DVD+R or DVD-R, finish all editing
before finalising the disc. You cannot edit a finalised
disc.
The available disc space does not increase even when
you erase titles for DVD+Rs and DVD-Rs.
If a message appears and indicates that the disc’s
control information is full, erase or edit unnecessary
titles.
Erasing and Editing a Title
This section explains the basic edit functions. Note
that editing is irreversible. To edit the HDD or
DVD-RWs (VR mode) without changing the

Dubbing (HDD y DVD)
Before Dubbing
In this section, “dubbing” refers to “copying a
recorded title on the internal hard disk drive
(HDD) to another disc, or vice versa.” You can
select to dub one title at a time (Title Dubbing –
see “Dubbing a single title (Title Dub)” on
page 74), or multiple titles all at once (Multiple
Title Dubbing – see “Dubbing multiple titles (Dub
Selected Titles)” on page 75).
Before you start, read the following precautions,
which are common to both dubbing methods.
If you want to record from a digital video camera
connected to the DV IN jack, see “DV Dubbing”
on page 77. To record from equipment connected
to the LINE IN jacks, see “Recording from
connected equipment without a timer” on page 52.
Before you start…
Select the disc type according to your needs
(page 8). This recorder can record on various
discs.
You cannot record both the main and sub sound
on a DVD+RW, DVD-RW (Video mode),
DVD+R, or DVD-R. For bilingual programs, set
“DVD Bilingual Rec.” to either “Main” (default)
or “Sub” in “Options” setup (page 95).
Timer recordings and Synchro-Recording do not
start during dubbing. Before you start, check the
Timer List menu to see if there is any timer
recording due to start during dubbing.
When “Auto Chapter” of “Features” setup is set
to “On,” chapter marks are automatically
inserted at approximately 6-minute intervals
while dubbing from the HDD to a DVD, or when
the recorder detects picture and sound changes
while dubbing from a DVD to the HDD. The
chapter marks in the dubbing source are not
retained in the dubbed title.
For a title whose picture size (16:9 or 4:3) is
mixed:
When dubbed from the HDD to DVD-RW
(Video mode) or DVD-R, the picture size is
determined by the setting in “DVD Rec.
Picture Size” (page 47).
When dubbed from HDD to DVD+RW or
DVD+R, the picture size is always 4:3.
When dubbed from HDD to DVD-RW (VR
mode), the originally recorded picture size is
retained.
z Hints
When you dub a Playlist title, it is recorded as an
Original title.
When dubbed from a DVD to the HDD, the picture size
and the sound types originally recorded are retained.
b Notes
To play a dubbed disc on other DVD equipment,
finalise the disc (page 39).
The recorder may not function as described depending
on the disc status. Follow the instructions that appear on
the screen.
You cannot dub from DVD VIDEOs to the HDD.
Thumbnails that you have set for the originally
recorded title (page 34) will not be retained in the
dubbed title.
With this recorder, the recording mode for
dubbing is displayed as “Dub Mode.” Two
dubbing method are available: High-speed
Dubbing and Rec Mode Conversion Dubbing.
Read the following and select according to the
required time, disc space, and picture quality.
Dubbing at high-speed (High-speed Dubbing)
, ////
Allows you to dub what you have stored in the
HDD to a high-speed DVD (8x-speed
DVD+RWs/6x-speed DVD-RWs/16x-speed
DVD+Rs/16x-speed DVD-Rs, or slower versions
of each disc type), without changing the recording
mode.
Set “Dub Mode” to “Fast” in “Title Dub” or “Dub
Selected Titles” display (page 74). You cannot
select “Fast” when titles that cannot be dubbed at
high speed are selected (such as the titles displayed
in “Notes” below). The minimum required time is
as follows (approximate).

DV Dubbing
DV Dubbing
Before DV Dubbing
This section explains dubbing with a digital video
camera via the DV IN jack on the front panel. If
you want to dub by way of the LINE IN jacks, see
“Recording from connected equipment without a
timer” on page 52.
To record from the DV IN jack
The DV IN jack on this recorder conforms to the
i.LINK standard. You can connect any other
equipment that has an i.LINK (DV) jack, and
record digital signals.
Follow the instructions in “Preparing for DV
dubbing,” and then move on to the section on
dubbing. For more information about i.LINK, see
“About i.LINK” on page 105.
z Hint
If you plan to do additional editing on a disc after the
initial dub, use the DV IN jack and record on a DVD-RW
(VR mode) or HDD.
You can connect a digital video camera to the DV
IN jack on the recorder to record or edit from a
DV/Digital8 format tape. Operation is
straightforward because the recorder will fast
forward and rewind the tape for you – you do not
need to operate your digital video camera. Do the
following to start using the “DV Edit” functions of
this recorder.
See the instruction manual supplied with the
digital video camera as well before connecting.
b Notes
The DV IN jack is for input only. It will not output
signals.
You cannot use the DV IN jack when:
– your digital video camera does not work with this
recorder. Connect the camera to the LINE IN jack
and follow the instructions of “Recording from
connected equipment without a timer” on page 52.
– the input signal is not in DVC-SD format. Do not
connect a MICRO MV format digital video camera
even if it has an i.LINK jack.
– the images on the tape contain copy protection
signals, which limit recording.
If you want to play the disc on other DVD equipment,
finalise the disc (page 39).
Hookups
1 Press HDD or DVD to select the recording
destination.
If you select DVD, insert a disc (see “Inserting
a Disc” on page 29).
2 Insert the source DV/Digital8 format tape
into your digital video camera.
For the recorder to record or edit, your digital
video camera must be set to video playback
mode.

with your digital video camera.
You are ready to start dubbing. Select one of
the dubbing methods on the following pages.
z Hints
You can turn off the recorder during dubbing. The
recorder completes dubbing even after being turned
off.
You can adjust the settings for the recording picture
before recording. See “Adjusting the recording picture
quality and size” on page 47.
b Notes
You cannot connect more than one piece of digital
video equipment to the recorder.
You cannot control the recorder using another device
or another recorder of the same model.
You cannot record date, time, or the contents of the
cassette memory onto the disc.
If you record from a DV/Digital8 format tape that is
recorded in multiple sound tracks, such as a tape with
multiple sampling frequencies (48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or
32 kHz), no sound or an unnatural sound will be output
when playing back the sampling frequency switch
point on the disc.
In order to use this recorder’s “Auto Chapter” setting
(page 79), be sure to correctly set the clock on your
digital video camera before shooting.
The recorded picture may be momentarily affected if
the picture size of the source image changes, or if there
is nothing recorded on the tape.

DV Dubbing
Recording an Entire DV
Format Tape (One Touch
Dubbing)
You can record the entire contents of a DV/
Digital8 format tape onto a disc with a single press
of the ONE-TOUCH DUB button on the recorder.
The recorder controls the digital video camera for
the whole process, and completes the recording.
How chapters are created
The contents dubbed to the HDD or DVD become
a single title. When “Auto Chapter” of “Features”
setup is set to “On,” this title is divided into
chapters. When dubbing to the HDD or a DVD-
RW (VR mode), each shooting session on the tape
becomes a chapter on the disc. For other discs, the
recorder divides the title into chapters at
approximately 6-minute intervals.
Follow steps 1 to 5 of “Preparing for DV
dubbing” on page 77, and press ONE-TOUCH
DUB on the recorder.
The recorder rewinds the tape and then starts
recording the tape contents.
When the recording is finished, the recorder
rewinds the tape in the digital video camera.
To stop during recording
Open the remote’s cover and press x REC STOP.
Note that it may take a few seconds for the
recorder to stop recording.
z Hints
If you set “Finalise Disc” of “One Touch Dubbing” to
“Auto” in “Features” setup (page 94), the recorded disc
(except DVD-RW (VR mode)) will automatically be
finalised after recording is finished.
You can play back a previously recorded title on the
HDD while One Touch Dubbing is in progress.
b Notes
When a blank space between the recordings on the tape
continues for more than five minutes, One Touch
Dubbing ends automatically.
The recorder records a blank for five minutes before it
stops dubbing. To stop the blank recording, press
x REC STOP.
Program Edit
You can select scenes from a DV/Digital8 format
tape, and then automatically record selected
scenes to the HDD or a DVD.
To use this function, you will do the following:
m
Using the recorder’s remote control, fast forward
or rewind the tape to select the scenes. At this
point, the selected scenes are not copied to the
disc. The recorder only remembers the IN and
OUT points of the scenes that you selected for
dubbing. You can also reset, erase, or change the
order of the scenes.
m
After you have selected the scenes, the recorder
will fast forward and rewind the tape
automatically and record the scenes to the HDD or
a DVD.
How chapters are created
The contents dubbed to the HDD or DVD become
a single title. When “Auto Chapter” of “Features”
setup is set to “On,” this title is divided into
chapters. When dubbing to the HDD or a DVD-
RW (VR mode), each shooting session on the tape
becomes a chapter on the disc. For other discs, the
recorder divides the title into chapters at
approximately 6-minute intervals.

Progressive Mode
DVD software can be divided into two types: film
based software and video based software. Video
based software is derived from TV, such as
dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at 30

Troubleshooting
If you experience any of the following difficulties
while using the recorder, use this troubleshooting
guide to help remedy the problem before
requesting repairs. Should any problem persist,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
The power does not turn on.
, Check that the mains lead is connected securely.
There is no picture.
, Re-connect all connecting cords securely.
, The connecting cords are damaged.
, Check the connection to your TV (page 13).
, Switch the input selector on your TV (such as to
“VCR”) so that the signal from the recorder
appears on the TV screen.
, Check that “Scart Setting” in “Video” setup is set
to the appropriate item that conforms to your
system (page 89).
,
If you connect the recorder to your TV via only the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, set “Component
Out” in “Video” setup to “On” (page 88).
, This recorder cannot record NTSC signals.
, When playing a double-layer DVD, the video
and audio may be momentarily interrupted at the
point where the layers switch.
Picture noise appears.
, If the picture output signal from your recorder
passes through your VCR to get to your TV, or if
you are connected to a combination TV/VIDEO
player, the copy-protection signal applied to
some DVD programmes could affect picture
quality. If you still experience this problem even
when you connect your recorder directly to your
TV, try connecting your recorder to your TV’s S
VIDEO input.
, You have set the recorder to progressive format
(the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up) even
though your TV cannot accept the progressive
signal. In this case, press PROGRESSIVE until
the PROGRESSIVE indicator turns off.
,
Even if your TV is compatible with progressive
format (525p/625p) signals, the image may be
affected when you set the recorder to progressive
format. In this case, disconnect the HDMI cord
from the recorder, and then press PROGRESSIVE
so that the PROGRESSIVE indicator turns off and
the recorder is set to normal (interlace) format.
, You are playing a DVD recorded in a colour
system that is different from your TV.
, Noise may appear in the pictures recorded on the
HDD, which is due to the characteristics of
HDD, and is not a malfunction.
, When playing a double-layer DVD, the video
and audio may be momentarily interrupted at the
point where the layers switch.
There is no picture or the picture noise appears
when connected to the HDMI OUT jack.
, Try the following: 1Turn the recorder off and
on again.
2Turn the connected equipment off
and on again.
3Disconnect and then connect the
HDMI cord again.
, If the HDMI OUT jack is used for video output,
changing the “HDMI Resolution” setting in the
“Video” setup may solve the problem (page 88).
Connect the TV and the recorder using a video
jack other than the HDMI OUT, and switch the
TV’s input to the connected video input so that
you can see the on-screen displays. Change the
“HDMI Resolution” setting in the “Video” setup,
and switch the TV’s input back to HDMI. If the
picture still does not appear, repeat the steps and
try other options.
, The recorder is connected to an input device that
is not HDCP compliant (page 14).
TV programme reception does not fill the screen.
, Set the channel manually in “Channel Setting” in
“Settings” setup (page 82).
, Select the correct source using the INPUT
SELECT button, or select a channel of any TV
programme using the PROG +/– buttons.
TV programme pictures are distorted.

Additional Information
About i.LINK
The DV IN jack on this recorder is an i.LINK-
compliant DV IN jack. This section describes the
i.LINK standard and its features.
What is i.LINK?
i.LINK is a digital serial interface for handling
digital video, digital audio and other data in two
directions between equipment having the i.LINK
jack, and for controlling other equipment.
i.LINK-compatible equipment can be connected
by a single i.LINK cable. Possible applications are
operations and data transactions with various
digital AV equipment. When two or more i.LINK-
compatible equipment are connected to this
recorder in a daisy chain, operations and data
transactions are possible with not only the
equipment that this recorder is connected to but
also with other devices via the directly connected
equipment.
Note, however, that the method of operation
sometimes varies according to the characteristics
and specifications of the equipment to be
connected, and that operations and data
transactions are sometimes not possible on some
connected equipment.
b Note
Normally, only one piece of equipment can be connected
to this recorder by the i.LINK cable (DV connecting
cable). When connecting this recorder to i.LINK-
compatible equipment having two or more i.LINK jacks
(DV jacks), see the instruction manual of the equipment
to be connected.
i.LINK is a more familiar term for IEEE 1394 data
transport bus proposed by SONY, and is a
trademark approved by many corporations.
IEEE 1394 is an international standard
standardized by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers.
i.LINK’s maximum baud rate varies according to
the equipment. Three maximum baud rates are
defined:
S100 (approx. 100 Mbps*)
S200 (approx. 200 Mbps)
S400 (approx. 400 Mbps)
The baud rate is listed under “Specifications” in
the instruction manual of each equipment. It is
also indicated near the i.LINK jack on some
equipment.
The maximum baud rate of equipment on which it
is not indicated such as this unit is “S100.”
When units are connected to equipment having a
different maximum baud rate, the baud rate
sometimes differs from the indicated baud rate.
* What is Mbps?
Mbps stands for megabits per second, or the amount of
data that can be sent or received in one second. For
example, a baud rate of 100 Mbps means that 100
megabits of data can be sent in one second.
For details on how to dub when this recorder is
connected to other video equipment having DV
jacks, see page 77.
The DV jack on this recorder can only input DVC-
SD signals. It cannot output signals. The DV jack
will not accept MICRO MV signals from
equipment such as a MICRO MV digital video
camera with an i.LINK jack.
For further precautions, see the notes on page 77.
For details on precautions when connecting this
recorder, also see the instruction manuals for the
equipment to be connected.
Use the Sony i.LINK 4-pin-to-4-pin cable (during
DV dubbing).

Additional Information
Glossary
Chapter (page 60)
Sections of a picture or a music feature that are
smaller than titles. A title is composed of several
chapters. Depending on the disc, no chapters may
be recorded.
Copy protection signals (page 42)
Copy restriction set by copyright owners, etc.
These signals are included in some software or TV
programmes and restrict recording on this
recorder.
Dolby Digital (page 91)
Digital audio compression technology developed
by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms
to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel
is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel
in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same
discrete channels of high quality digital audio
found in “Dolby Digital” theater surround sound
systems.
Good channel separation is realized because all of
the channel data is recorded discretely, and little
deterioration occurs because all channel data
processing is digital.
DTS (page 91)
Digital audio compression technology by Digital
Theater Systems, Inc. This technology conforms
to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel
is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel
in this format. DTS provides the same discrete
channels of high quality digital audio.
Good channel separation is realized because all of
the channel data is recorded discretely, and little
deterioration occurs because all channel data
processing is digital.
DVD+R (page 8)
A DVD+R (read “plus R”) is a recordable disc that
is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. Contents can
be recorded only once to a DVD+R, and will have
the same format as a DVD VIDEO.
DVD+RW (page 8)
A DVD+RW (read “plus RW”) is a recordable and
rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording
format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO
format.
DVD-R (page 8)
A DVD-R is a recordable disc that is the same size
as a DVD VIDEO. Contents can be recorded only
once to a DVD-R, and will have the same format
as a DVD VIDEO.
DVD-RW (page 8)
A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc
that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The DVD-
RW has two different modes: VR mode and Video
mode. DVDs created in Video mode have the
same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs
created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the
contents to be programmed or edited.
DVD VIDEO (page 10)
A disc that contains up to eight hours of moving
pictures on a disc the same diameter as a CD.
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-
sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7
times that of a CD. The data capacity of a double-
layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-
layer and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and
double-layer and double-sided DVD is 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, which
is a worldwide standard of digital compression
technology. The picture data is compressed to
about 1/40 (average) of its original size. The DVD
also uses a variable rate coding technology that
changes the data to be allocated according to the
status of the picture. Audio information is
recorded in a multi-channel format, such as Dolby
Digital, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio
presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as
the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental
Control functions are provided on the DVD.
Hard disk drive (page 2)
A hard disk drive is a whole mechanical system
that consists of disks and drive. Disks are flat,
circular, rigid plates coated with a thin magnetic
media. Magnetic heads record data on the rapidly
spinning disks, and this enables the speedy and
efficient reading and writing of data.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface that supports both video and
audio on a single digital connection. The HDMI
connection carries standard to high definition
video signals and multi-channel audio signals to
AV components such as HDMI equipped TVs, in
digital form without degradation.
The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-
bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), a copy
protection technology that incorporates coding
technology for digital video signals.
Interlace format (page 16)
Interlace format shows every other line of an
image as a single “field” and is the standard
method for displaying images on television. The
even number field shows the even numbered lines
of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the
odd numbered lines of an image.
MPEG Audio (page 91)
International standard coding system used to
compress audio digital signals authorized by ISO/
IEC. MPEG 2, used on DVDs, conforms to up to
7.1-channel surround.
Original (page 65)
Titles actually recorded on a HDD/DVD-RW (VR
mode). Erasing original titles frees up disc space.
Playlist (page 65)
Playback information created from the actual
recordings on a HDD/DVD-RW (VR mode). A
Playlist leaves the original titles as they are, and
contains only the information needed to control
playback. A Playlist title takes up very little disc
space.
Progressive format (page 16)
Compared to the Interlace format that alternately
shows every other line of an image (field) to create
one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire
image at once as a single frame. This means that
while the Interlace format can show 25-30 frames/
50-60 fields in one second, the Progressive format
can show 50/60 frames in one second. The overall
picture quality increases and still images, text, and
horizontal lines appear sharper.
Title (page 60)
The longest section of a picture or music feature
on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the
entire album in audio software.
Track (page 60)
Sections of a music feature on a CD/VIDEO CD
(the length of a song).
