How to use the DVD
Recorder
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 recording without any change,
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
image and create a playlist and edit images 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.
Select the disc type
Format the disc to start recording
Getting Started
About the use of this user’s manual
1) Be sure to be familiar with Safety Instructions before
using this product. (See pages 2~7)
2) If a problem occurs, check for Troubleshooting.
(See pages 88~91)
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 discs on various
DVD components only when they have been finalised.
■
You can only use either the VR or
NOTE
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
There are two different recording methods, Direct
Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
classified as a Date : Once(dd/mm(MON)), Every Day,
MON-SAT, MON-FRI, Every SAT, 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.
Recording
Playing
Step 6
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 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 recorder. You cannot edit or record on
the disc once it has been finalised.
Finalising & Playing on other DVD components
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.

image than interlaced video.
This is only available with TVs that support
progressive scan.
● Progressive Scan Output (576p)
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, in case of 576 progressive scan picture
problems, It is recommended that the user switch the
connection to the ‘standard definition’ output. If there

Concerning Copy Control Signals
TV broadcasts that contain copy control signals may
have one of the following three signal types, Copy-Free,
Copy-Once and Copy-Never. If you want to record a
copy-once type programme, use DVD-RW with CPRM
in VR Mode and DVD-RAM.
Media
Signal type
DVD-RW(Ver.1.1)

DVD-R
DVD-RAM(Ver.2.0)
Once “Copy Once” has been recorded, recording
cannot be done anymore.
- Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM)
CPRM is a mechanism that ties a recording to the
media on which it is recorded. It is supported by some
DVD recorders, but not by many DVD players. Each
blank recordable DVD has a unique 64-bit media ID
etched in the BCA. When protected content is recorded
onto the disc, it can be encrypted with a 56-bit C2
(Cryptomeria) cipher derived from the media ID.
During playback, the ID is read from the BCA and used
to generate a key to decrypt the contents of the disc.
If the contents of the disc are copied to other media, the
ID will be absent or wrong and the data will not be
decryptable.

Editing
This section introduces basic functions of DVD
editing and explains both edit functions for the
recording on a disc and edit functions for the entire
disc.
A title is a section of recorded video and audio.
Title List shows a list to help you select a title.
Since the title list consists of the information on
stream that is actually recorded, if one title is deleted,
that title cannot be played again.
● Play List
This refers to a unit of playback, which is made by
selecting a desired scene in the entire Title List.
When one playlist is played, only the scene selected
by the user will play and then stop. Since only the
information necessary for playing a desired scene is
included in a playlist, even if that playlist is deleted,
the original stream will not be deleted.
Recording or editing might not be completed if
an error, such as a sudden power failure
occurs.
Please be aware that a material that has been
damaged is unable to be retrieved to its
original content.
