TECHNOLOGY & BENEFITS

VIDEO

Multi-Drive Recorder - This DVD recorder is designed to provide the greatest flexibility in recording and playback by supporting DVD-RAM, DVD-R, and DVD-RW* recordable disc formats. The right format for every application:

· DVD-RAM is the most flexible of the recordable disc formats when it comes to recording, editing and playback. Even more, re-record content approximately 100,000 times!

· DVD-R is a write-once format perfect for sharing treasured video moments with virtually anyone who has a DVD-Video player.

· DVD-RW* can rewrite content up to 1000 times and playback in a wide variety of computer drives and DVD-Video players

ColorStream Pro®Component Video Outputs - These outputs allow the highest quality video signal to be sent from the DVD player to a component video equipped progressive scan TV. When this connection is utilized with today's HD-compatible sets, typical NTSC artifacts-like video noise, dot crawl, and flicker-are virtually eliminated, resulting in a low-noise, highly detailed picture with unequaled color purity.

Digital Cinema Progressive (3/2 Pulldown) - Delivers the smoothest, most film-like images to any progressive scan television, such as an HD-compatible one, and ensures maximum resolution.

Auto Title/Chapter/Thumbnail Creation (DVD-RAM) - Recorded content remains easy to find with the help of a menu that will be automatically created when you record. It displays the date and channel you recorded, along with a thumbnail of your recording by capturing the first video frame of the recording. The date and channel can be change to any 64-character title and the thumbnails to any image within the recording. Chapters within the recording can also be created by either predetermined intervals, or by the user selecting specific points within the recording. These chapters can also, be named and assigned a specific thumbnail from any video frame within the chapter.

AUDIO

WMA & MP3 Playback - Play Recordable Compact Discs (CD-R & CD-RW) with music stored in either the Windows Media™ Audio or MP3 file formats can be enjoyed..

CONVENIENCE

EASY NAVI Menu - An entry menu portal that provides quick and easy access to key features of the DVD recorder, such as Timer Recording or DV Capture. Additionally the EASY Navi displays a "live action window", providing feedback to the user on the current status of the recorder, whether it is recording a program, in the Time Slip mode, or playing back content with DVD-RAM.

Chase Play & Live Chase Play (Pause Live TV) - Chase Play allows the user to begin watching a recording that is already in progress. The Live Chase Play feature lets you 'pause' a live recording and then return to it later. During playback of both modes, a bar graph can be displayed on-screen depicting the 'progress' or location of the playback signal with regards to the real time recorded signal.

5 Recording modes - Preset audio and video settings provides simplicity in selecting the recording bit rate and allow users to maximize disc space based on the content to be recorded. (1hr, 2hr, 3hr, 4hr, and 6hr)

Front Panel A/V & S-Video - There are composite audio & video inputs, as well as RCA L/R inputs on the front panel of the unit for easy camcorder dubbing. As well, an S-Video input is also available on the front panel for interfacing components with this available video output.
