Recorder

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 recording without any change, 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 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 finalised.

■ 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.

Step 3

Recording

Step 5

Editing a recorded disc

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.

Getting Started

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 finalised.

Playing

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.

Step 6

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

When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode

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

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode

The disc should be finalised 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 finalised.

When using a DVD-R disc

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

You cannot use this operation or function due to one of the following reasons:

(1) Your DVD disc restricts it. (2) Your DVD disc does not support this feature (for

example: angles) (3) The feature is not available at the moment. (4) You’ve requested a title, chapter, or scan time

that is out of range.

The disc does not support all selected functions. In this case, some settings configured in the settings menu may not work properly.

The aspect ratio is fixed for DVD discs. (See page 32)

The angle operation is available only when the disc contains images captured from different angles.

Audio and subtitle languages are disc-specific. Only the sound and subtitle languages contained on the DVD disc are available and displayed in the disc menu.
