Recorder-VCR

Step 1

This unit can record on the following types of discs. If you want to repeatedly record on the same disc or you want to edit the disc after recording, select a rewritable DVD-RW or DVD-RAM type disc. If you want to save a recording without any changes, choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.

Step 2

Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the preparation of recording on a disc.

Using a DVD-RAM

This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). You can edit recorded images and create a playlist in a specific sequence according to your requirements.

Using a DVD-RW

This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks whether to format in Video Mode or not is displayed. You can play a video mode disc on various DVD components. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing.

Using a DVD-R

This type of disc can be formatted in DVD Video format. When formatting is complete, you can record on the disc. You can play this type of disc on various DVD components only when they have been finalized.

Select the disc type

Format the disc to start recording

10 - English

■

You can only use one format on a DVD-RW.

■

You can change the DVD-RW format to another for-

mat. It should be noted that the data on the disc may

be lost when changing formats.

Step 3

There are two different recording methods: Direct Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is classified as recording type: Once, Daily or Weekly or recording mode: XP (high quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP (extended mode) according to the recording mode.

Step 4

You can select the title you want to play in a displayed menu and then immediately start playback.

A DVD consists of sections, called titles, and sub sections, called chapters.

During recording, a title is created between two points where you start and stop recording, DVD-R/DVD-RW discs (in Video mode) can automatically create chapters according to the recording mode when finalized.

Recording

Playing

Step 6

To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalizing may be necessary. First, finish all editing and recording operations, then finalize the disc.

When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode

Although finalizing is generally unnecessary when playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible component, a finalized disc should be used for playback on that type of component.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode

The disc should be finalized first to enable playback on any DVD components other than this recorder. No more editing or recording can be made on the disc once it has been finalized. To enable recording on the disc again, Disc should be unfinalized.

When using a DVD-R disc

You should finalize the disc to play it on a component other than this recorder. You cannot edit or record on the disc once it has been finalized.

Finalizing & Playing on other DVD components

Getting Started

Step 5

Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes. The recorder supports many different edit functions, possible only with DVDs. With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate various edit functions, such as delete, dubbing, rename, lock, etc., on a recorded title.

Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/-RW in VR mode)

With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on the same disc and edit it without the change of the original recording.
