DVD-RW Disc Playback and Recording
• Recording and playback can be performed on DVD-RW
discs in both Video and VR Modes.
• Once a DVD-RW recorded in VR Mode is finalized, you can-
not perform additional recording.
• Once a DVD-RW recorded in Video Mode is finalized, it
becomes DVD-Video.
• In both modes, playback can be performed before and after
finalization, but additional recording, deleting and editing can
not be performed after finalization.
• 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.
• A DVD-RW blank disc is initialized to VR Mode when first ini-
tialized.
• DVD-RW (VR mode)
- This is a format that is used for recording data on a DVD-
RAM or DVD-RW disc. You can record multiple titles,
edit, delete, partial delete, create a playlist, etc.
- A disc that is recorded in this mode may not be played
by existing DVD players.
• DVD-RW (Video mode)
-
This is a format that is used for recording data on a
DVD-RW or DVD-R disc. The disc can be played by an
existing DVD player once it has been finalized.
- If a disc that has been recorded in Video mode by a dif-
ferent manufacturer's recorder but has not been finalized
it cannot be played or additionally be recorded by this
recorder.
DVD-RAM Disc Playback and Recording
•
For cartridge type DVD-RAM discs, remove the
cartridge and use the disc only.
•
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 DVDRAM discs, refer to the user’s manual for the player.

(See pages 83~85)
This unit can record on the following types of discs.

EP (extended mode).
Recording
Getting Started
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 DVDVideo 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 finalized.
■
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 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 finalize
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.
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.

Editing a recorded disc
English - 9
Step 6
To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalizing may be necessary. First, finish all editing and
recording operations, then finalize the disc.
When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode
Although finalizing is generally unnecessary when
playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible component, a finalized disc should be used for playback.
Getting Started
When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode
The disc should be finalized 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 finalized.
When using a DVD-R disc
You should finalize the disc to play it on a component
other than this recorder. You cannot edit or record on
the disc once it has been finalized.

• Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive
scan doubles the amount of video lines fed to your TV,
resulting in a more stable, flicker-free, and clear image
than interlaced video. The progressive scan video output jack is used in progressive output mode. This is
only available with TVs that support progressive scan.
• Consumers should note that not all high definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and
may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. If
you experience 480 progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that you switch the connection to the ‘standard definition’ output. If there are
questions regarding TV set compatibility with this
model, please contact our customer service center at
