Step 2

NOTE

Format the disc to start recording

Step 4

Playing

Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts
formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is
required or 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
image and create a playlist and edit images 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 VR 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. After formatting is complete, you can record on
the disc.You can play this type of discs on various DVD
components only when they have been finalized.

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

■ You can change the DVD-RW format to

another format. It should be noted that
the data of the disc may be lost when
changing formats.

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.

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, copy, 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.

Editing a recorded disc

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. When recording is set in the FR mode, the best
quality picture is recorded with regards to the
remaining time on the disc.

10 - English

Recording

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 anything other than this recorder. No more editing
or recording can be made on the disc once it has
been finalized.

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.

CDs (CD-DA).

■ This DVD Recorder can play back 8-cm DVD-R

video camera/recorder and not finalized.
However, no image can be recorded on these
discs.

■ Do not move your DVD recorder while playing, as
this may cause damage to the disc.

■ Make sure to press the OPEN/CLOSE button to
open or close the disc tray.

■ Do not push the disc tray while it is being opened
or closed, as this may cause a product malfunc­tion.

■ Do not place foreign materials on or in the disc
tray.

■ Some functions may perform differently or be dis­abled depending on the disc type. If this occurs,
refer to the instructions written on the disc case.

■ Be especially careful that children’s fingers are
not caught between the disc tray and the tray
chassis when it closes.

Place a disc gently into the tray with the

■ Title List:

Title refers to a recorded video stream. Title List
shows a list to help you select a title. Since the
title list consists of the information on stream that
is actually recorded, if one title is deleted, that title
cannot be played again.

■ Play List:

This refers to a unit of playback, which is made by
selecting a desired scene in the entire Title List.
When one playlist is played, only the scene
selected by the user will play and then stop. Since
only the information necessary for playing a
desired scene is included in a playlist, even if that
playlist is deleted, the original stream will not be
deleted.

•You can scan the program in reverse. To return to normal
speed playback, press the button.

•When you press and hold the SEARCH button ( ),
playback is done at the default speed of 4X. If you

• Title List

Title refers to a recorded video and audio stream.
Title List shows a list to help you select a title.
Since the title list consists of the information on
stream that is actually recorded, if one title is delet­ed, that title cannot be played again.

• Play List

This refers to a unit of playback, which is made by
selecting a desired scene in the entire Title List.
When one playlist is played, only the scene selected
by the user will play and then stop. Since only the
information necessary for playing a desired scene is
included in a playlist, even if that playlist is deleted,
the original stream will not be deleted.

If recording or editing could have not been
finished properly because of any kinds of error,
such as sudden power failure, the recording or
editing might have not been done.

Please be aware that a material that has been
damaged is unable to be retrieved to its original
content.
