IMPORTANT NOTE
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse.The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug.If it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used.
Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable.If a replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.
However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains socket, as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.

DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording
Once a DVD-R recorded in Video Mode is finalised, 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 programs and erasing programs before finalising.
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 a vailable for recording, whether the recording is erased or not.
It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete
recording management information after recording finishes.
This product optimizes the DVD-R for each recording.
Optimizing is carried out when you start recording after inserting the disc or turning on the unit. Recording onto the disc may become impossible if optimizing is carried out too many times.

Some cartridges are able to eject the disc inside.
Even if you are able to eject the disc, always use the disc with the cartridge to ensure correct operation.
DVD-RAM discs have a Write Protect tab in order to
avoid accidental erasure of recorded data. With the Write Protect tab set to PROTECT, you can play the disc, but recording or erasing will not work. Set the Write Protect tab to UNPROTECT to format the disc or erase data.
Ensure that the recording mode is set to VR mode.
Otherwise, this product will not be able to play the recording.
You cannot play a DVD-RAM in most DVD players due to
compatibility issues.
Only DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0.discs can be
played in this unit.
DVD-RAM recorded on this unit may not work with other
DVD players.To determine compatibility with these D VD-
RAM discs, refer to the user’s manual for the player.
This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and cartridge
DVD-RAM, but the Write Protect tabs on cartridge-type
discs give better protection to your recordings.
This DVD Recorder can allow you to protect the contents of your discs, as described below.
Cartridge-protected: With the Write Protect tab located in the pro­tect position, the con­tents of the disc cannot be recorded, edited, or erased.
Program-protected: See page 67 “Locking a Title”

material and/or damage to the recorder arising from
usage of unrecommended discs, and take no respon-
sibility and offer no compensation for any subsequent
damage caused by above-mentioned problems.

Step 2
Format the disc to start recording
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.
NOTE

Step 3
Recording
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.
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. 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.
Step 6
Finalising & Playing on other DVD components
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.
Step 5
Editing a recorded disc
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.
