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.

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.

• If you want to record the disc in VR Mode and then

record in V Mode, be sure to execute Format. Be careful when executing Format because all the recorded data may be lost.

DVD-RAM Disc Playback and Recording

• DVD-RAM discs come with or without a cartridge.

For this product, we recommend DVD-RAM discs that come with cartridges.

• 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 DVD-RAM discs, refer to the user’s manual for the player. This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and car-

•

tridge DVD-RAM, but the write-protect tabs on cartridge-type discs give better protection to your recordings.

Recorder-VCR

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 a recording without any changes, 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 images and create a playlist 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 disc 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 anoth-

Note

Select the disc type

Format the disc to start recording

er format. It should be noted that the data of the disc may be lost when changing formats.

10 - English

Step 3

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.

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, DVD-RW/DVD-R discs(in Video mode) can automatically create chapters according to the recording mode when finalised.

Recording

Playing

Step 6

To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalsing 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. To enable recording on the disc again, Disc should be unfinalised.

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.

Finalising & Playing on other DVD components

Getting Started

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/DVD-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.
