With the HDD & DVD RECORDER, you can create your
own DVD Video titles on 4.7 GB DVD-RW/-R discs.
The HDD (Hard Disk Drive) & DVD RECORDER allows
you to record and play high quality digital video on DVDRAM/-RW/-R discs or on the HDD. You can also edit
digital images on DVD-RAM/-RW/-R discs or HDD.
HDD Recording
You can record up to 208 hours of video (in Extend EP
mode) on the internal 120GB (gigabyte) hard disk (HDD).
With both recordable DVD and a high-capacity HDD in the
same recorder, you have the flexibility to keep recordings
on the HDD for quick access anytime, or record to DVD
for archiving or playing on other DVD players.
Copy between HDD and DVD
You can copy recordings from the HDD to recordable
DVD, or from DVD to the HDD. Usually you can use the
high speed copy feature.
You can also choose to copy material at a different
recording quality from the original. For example, you might
want to copy at XP mode (highest quality) recording on
the HDD to SP (standard play) quality on a DVD so that
you can fit other recordings on the same disc.
Copying data from a digital camcorder using a DV
input jack
Record DV Device video onto HDD, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW
or DVD-R discs using the DV input jack (IEEE 13944pin/4pin). (See page 83)
High quality progressive scan
Progressive scanning provides high resolution and flicker
free video. The 10-bit 54-MHz DAC and 2D Y/C
Separating Circuitry provides the highest image playback
and recording quality. (See pages 44~46)
A variety of functions with an easy-to-use
user interface
The integrated menu system allows you to perform
desired operations both easily and conveniently. With a
HDD, DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc, you can edit recorded
video, create a playlist, edit video in a specific sequence
according to your requirements.
Getting Started
Simultaneous Recording and Playback
Playback and recording for both the DVD and the built-in
hard disk drive (HDD) are completely independent. For
example you can record a broadcast program to either a
recordable DVD or the HDD, while watching another
recording you already made on the same DVD or on the
HDD.
High quality digital audio and video recording and
playback
Record up to 16-hours of video with a double sided 9.4
GB DVD-RAM disc, up to 8-hours of video with a 4.7 GB
DVD-RAM/-RW/-R disc, up to 208 hours of video with the
HDD, depending on the recording mode.
Selectable Recording Mode
You can set your HDD & DVD RECORDER to one of four
different recording speeds, each varying in recording
quality and length. EP (6Hr or 8Hr) mode yields the most
recording time, LP & SP modes provide less recording
time with higher quality recording, XP mode gives you the
highest quality recording.

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. You can record
files directly to the built-in HDD or edit a recorded
file.
Step 2
Unlike a VCR, the HDD & DVD RECORDER
automatically starts formatting when an unused
disc is inserted. This is required for the preparation
of recording on a disc.
Using the HDD
Formatting unneccessory.
Using a DVD-RAM
This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video
Recording format (VR mode). You can edit
recorded video and create a playlist and edit video
in a specific sequence according to your
requirements.
Using a DVD-RW
This type of disc can be formatted in either
DVD-Video format (V 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 these type of discs on
various DVD components only when they have
been finalized.
Select the disc type or HDD
Format the disc to start recording
■
You can only use either the VR or Video
NOTE
There are two different recording methods, Direct
Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
classified as Follows:
Recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP
(standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode),
and EP (extended mode)
mode on a DVD-RW, but not both at the
same time.

You can change the DVD-RW to another
format by reinitializing. It should be noted
that the disc's data will be lost when
changing formats.
Step 3

Step 5
Editing on discs is easier than conventional video
tapes. The HDD & DVD RECORDER supports many
different edit functions, possible only with DVDs and
HDD.
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,
HDD)
With this HDD & DVD RECORDER, you can create a
new playlist on a disc and edit it without the original,
pre-existing recording.
Editing a recorded 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.
Chapters will be created automatically when you
finalize recording on DVD-RW/-R discs in Video
mode.
The chapter’s length (interval between chapters)
varies according to the recording mode.
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
DVD discs recorded in VR mode can only be played
back in DVD recorders, not players.
When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode
The disc should be finalized first to enable playback
on anything other than this HDD & DVD RECORDER.
No more editing or recording can be made on the disc
once it has been finalized.
To enable recording on the disc again, the disc must
be unfinalized.
When using a DVD-R disc
You should finalize the disc to play it on a component
other than this HDD & DVD RECORDER. You cannot
edit or record on the disc once it has been finalized.
