DVD±R Disc Playback and Recording

❖

Once a DVD±R recorded in Video Mode is ﬁ nalised, it becomes DVD-Video.

•

You can record onto the available space on the disc and perform editing functions such as giving titles

•

to discs and programmes and erasing programmes before ﬁ nalising. When programming is erased from a DVD±R, that space does not become available. Once an area on

•

a DVD±R is recorded on, that area is no longer available for recording, whether the recording is erased or not.

It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete recording management information after recording

•

ﬁ nishes. This product optimizes the DVD±R for each recording. Optimizing is carried out when you start

HOW TO USE THE HDD & DVD RECORDER

Step 1: Select the disc type or HDD

Please check available disc type before 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 ﬁ les directly to the built-in HDD or edit a recorded ﬁ le.

Step 2: Format the disc to start recording

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 unnecessary.

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 speciﬁ c 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 initialize a disc or not. If you select “DVD-VR” or “DVD-V”, initialising will be started. You can play a Video mode disc on various DVD components. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing.

Using a DVD-R

Formatting disc is unnecessary and only V Mode Recording is supported. You can play these types of discs on various DVD components only when they have been ﬁ nalised.

Using a DVD+RW

For an unused DVD+RW disc, a message that asks whether to format a disc or not. If you select

•

“DVD+RW”, formatting will be started.

Using a DVD+R

This type of disc will be formatted automatically.

14_ getting started

Step 3 : Recording

There are two different recording methods, Direct Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is classiﬁ ed as follows:

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.

Step 4 : Playing

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.

Step 5: Editing a recorded disc

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.

Step 6 : Finalising & Playing on other DVD components

To play your DVD on other DVD components, ﬁ nalising may be necessary. First, ﬁ nish all editing and recording operations, then ﬁ nalise 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.

GETTING STARTED

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode

The disc should be ﬁ nalised ﬁ rst 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 ﬁ nalised. To enable recording on the disc again, the disc must be unﬁ nalised.

When using a DVD±R disc

You should ﬁ nalise 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 ﬁ nalised.

You can ﬁ nalise the disc automatically using EZ Record function. (See page 46)
