How to use the DVD
Step 3
Recording
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/+R
•
When an unused DVD±RW/+R disc is first inserted,
the message "Uninitialized Disc. Do you want to initialize this disc?" will be displayed.
If you select Yes, initializing will be start. DVD-RW
disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format
(Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR
mode)
•
With DVD+RW discs, there is no difference between
DVD-Video format (Video mode) and DVD-Video
Recording format (VR mode).
Using a DVD-R
Initializing disc is unnecessary and only V mode
Recording is supported. You can play this type of disc
on various DVD components only when they have
been finalized.
Select the disc type
Format the disc to start recording
There are two different recording methods: Direct
Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
classified as a Date : Once, Daily or Weekly.
Recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and
EP (extended 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. Chapters will be
created automatically when you finalize recording on
DVD-R / DVD-RW discs in Video mode.
You can make your own chapters on DVD+RWs and
edit them using the Chapter Edit menu.
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 changing the
original recording.

Note
■
You can only use either the VR or Video
mode on a DVD-RW, but not both at the
same time.
■
You can format a DVD-RW to V or VR
mode using disc manager.
It should be noted that the disc's data will
be lost when changing formats.
English - 9
Step 6
To play your DVD on other DVD players, 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.
