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.

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 either the VR or
NOTE
Video mode on a DVD-RW, but not
both at the same time.

Recording
Step 6
Finalising & Playing on other DVD components
There are two different recording methods, Direct
Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
classified as a Date : Once(dd/mm(MON)), Every Day,
MON-SAT, MON-FRI, Every SAT, etc.
Getting Started
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
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 finalise recording on
DVD-R / DVD-RW discs in Video mode with the
Chapter Creator set to On. The chapter’s length
(interval between chapters) varies according to the
recording mode.
Playing
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.
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 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.
