Hint 1: Play the recorded contents
You can select the title you want to play
from a displayed menu, and immediately
start to play. Recorded contents are easily
accessible, with simple procedure of choosing a title on a chapter in the menu screen.
What is titles and chapters?
The contents of DVD disc are generally
divided into some titles.Titles may be
further divided into chapters.
Hint 2: Edit the recorded disc
You will find editing discs is easy.This unit offers convenient edit functions
which are possible only with DVD-R/RW discs.
You can edit the following from a title list.
• Putting names on titles
• Setting pictures for thumbnails (VR mode)
• Setting/clearing chapter markers
• Deleting parts of titles or scenes (VR mode)
Title Delete :This deletes an entire scene permanently from the disc.
Scene Delete :This allows a user to edit within a specific scene (ex. commercials).
Original and Playlist (VR mode)
You can edit the recordings in Playlist without changing the original recordings. Playlist does not take up much disc space.
What “Original” or “Playlist” is for?
Throughout this manual, you will find Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and the edited version.
• Original content refers to what’s actually recorded on the disc.
• Playlist content refers to the edited version of the disc; how the Original
content is to be played.
Finalizing a Disc
• This will allow a disc that is recorded on our unit to be played back on a different DVD player- without finalization it will not be playable on another player.
•
After finalizing a disc if the recording was in video mode, you can not edit any
information that is on that disc.
• If you have recorded in VR mode on DVD-RW disc then editing is still permitted after finalizing.
This operation may
take a while to be
completed.

Restrictions on recording
You cannot record copy-protected video using this
DVD recorder. Copy-protected video includes
DVD-Video discs and some satellite broadcasts.
If copy-protected material is encountered during a
recording, recording will pause or stop automatically
and an error message will be displayed on-screen.
Video that is “copy-once only” can only be recorded
using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see
below).
When recording a TV broadcast or through an
external input, you can display copy control information on screen.
What is “CPRM”?
CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system regarding the recording of “copy
once” broadcast programs. CPRM stands for
Content Protection for Recordable Media.
This DVD recorder is CPRM compatible, which
means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot then make a
copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can
only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted in
VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be
played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.
