●

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 programmes and erasing programmes
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
available for recording, whether the recording is
erased or not.

●

It takes about 30 seconds for the DVD Recorder to
complete recording management information after
recording finishes.

●

This DVD Recorder optimizes the DVD-R for each
recording. Optimizing is carried out when you start
recording after inserting the disc or turning on the
DVD Recorder. Recording onto the disc may become
impossible if optimizing is carried out too many times.

●

Playback may be impossible in some cases due to
the condition of recording.

●

This DVD Recorder can play back DVD-R discs
recorded and finalised with a Samsung DVD video
recorder. It may not be able to play some DVD-R
discs depending on the disc and the condition of the
recording.

●

Recording and playback can be performed on DVD­RW discs in both the Video and VR Modes.

●

Once a DVD-RW recorded in both the Video and VR
Modes is finalised, you cannot perform addtional
recording.

●

Once a DVD-RW recorded in Video Mode is finalised,
it becomes DVD-Video.

●

In both modes, playback can be performed before
and after finalisation, but additional recording,
deleting and editing can not be performed after
finalisation.

General Features

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 21, 35)

Getting Started

The DVD Recorder allows you to record and play high
quality digital video on DVD-RW/DVD-R discs. You can
record and edit digital images on DVD-RW/DVD-R
discs as if they were VCR tapes.

High quality digital audio and video recording
and playback

Record up to 8-hours of images with a 4.7 GB
DVD-RW/DVD-R disc, depending on the recording
mode.

Selectable Recording Mode

You can set your 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.

Automated Quality Adjustment for Timer
Recording

If FR mode is selected, the video quality is adjusted
automatically so that all video for the scheduled time
can be recorded onto the free disc space.
(See page 46.)

A variety of functions with an easy-to-use user
interface

The integrated menu system and the messaging
function allow you to perform desired operations both
easily and conveniently. With a DVD-RW disc, you can
edit recorded video, create a playlist, edit video in a
specific sequence according to your requirements.

A function that can be operated

This DVD Recorder 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 type disc.
If you want to save recording without any change,
choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.

Step 2

Unlike a VCR, the DVD Recorder automatically starts
formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is
required for the preparation of recording on a disc.

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

Formatting a disc is unnecessary and only Video
Mode Recording is supported. You can play this type
of discs on various DVD components only when they
have been finalised.

NOTE

Format the disc to start recording

■

You can only use either the VR or
Video mode on a DVD-RW, but not
both at the same time.

■

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

Step 3

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, Daily, MO-SA, MO-FR,
W-SA, 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.
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 DVD 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 DVD 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 DVD 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-RW in VR mode)

With this DVD Recorder, you can create a new playlist
on the same disc and edit it without the change of the
original recording.
