RECORDING

Introduction to recording

You already know that DVD discs provides a very high quality video playback. Now, with DVD±R/RW recording, you can create your own DVDs from your home movies, favorite TV shows or virtually any other video source.

Recording to DVD±R/RW is easy. The process is similar in many ways to your old VCR, but with many new enhancements. You can record live by simply pressing one button, or set the timer for scheduled recordings. And DVD±RW discs can be erased and used over and over again more than one thousand times and still look crystal clear.

There's lots of new editing features with DVD±R/RW that give your recordings a flexibility that you never had with VHS. The title screen gives you quick access to your recordings with thumbnail images you can change. You can quickly add or delete titles or chapters.

Discs you can Record To

This unit will accept four disc types for recording: DVD± RW and DVD± R.

DVD R discs are "Recordable" discs that cannot be erased. Once a recording is made to a DVD±R disc, the disc space used by that recording can not be reclaimed, although the recording itself can be "hidden" so it is not viewable when the disc is played.

DVD±R discs must be finalized before they can be played back on standard DVD player. Once this process is complete, no more recordings can be added. This is an important difference between DVD±R and DVD±RW discs. While the TOC (Table of Contents) can be written to and updated many times on a DVD±RW disc, the TOC on a DVD±R disc can only be written once. Therefore, you cannot move a DVD±R between the recorder and a DVD player as you add recordings to the disc. Instead, you must complete the disc before it is playable on a standard DVD player.

Although DVD±R offers less recording flexibility than DVD±RW, the lower cost per disc and the fact that the material cannot be erased or edited make it the best choice for large distributions of recordings to friends or clients.

Think of DVD RW (DVD+ReWritable) discs as the digital equivalent of your old VHS tapes. Like video tape, DVD±RW discs can be recorded to, erased and re-used. But unlike video tape, DVD±RW discs will retain their crystal-clear digital quality even after being erased and re-recorded over 1000 times! This superior quality will not be degraded with the passage of time like VHS tapes.

Also, unlike DVD+R discs, DVD+RW discs do not require a "Finalization" process for compatibility with standard DVD player. To understand why this is so, consider the following: In order for your recordings to be compatible with standard DVD player, a TOC (Table of Contents) must be written to each disc. Since DVD±RW discs are ReWritable, the TOC can be constantly updated as new recordings are made. This means that a DVD±RW disc can be played on a standard DVD player directly after the first recording, and will remain compatible as new material is added later.

What you can Record From

You can record your own DVD from the following sources: Inbuilt TV Tuner - This unit features a built-in TV Tuner that

can be connected to cable TV or a standard antenna to record your favorite TV shows. You can auto-scan for available channels .

AV Inputs (Composite/S-Video) - Use the Audio/Video inputs to record from devices such as your camcorder and VCR. You can also connect external TV tuners, DVD player, etc. to the A/V inputs - basically any video device that has a S-Video or composite video output,

DV Input/1394 - Use the digital firewire output from your camera to receive, without loss of signal quality, your digital home videos.

About Copy Protection

You cannot record f ro m a vi de o source that is enco de d with Mac ro vi sion copy-protect io n, s uc h as most DVD produc ed b y ma jo r studios. As an e xa mple, if you have a DVD re co rd er c onnected to an AV input and a tt em pt to rec or d a DV D, a n error message wil l oc cu r, le tting you know t ha t th e di sc is copy-protec te d.

Although DVD RW discs are more expensive than DVD± Rs,they can actually be more economical and convenient for certain situations. For example, if you are recording TV programs you may want to "recycle" discs - recording over episodes you have already watched. In this situation, DVD± RW discs are the best choice because a single disc can be used over and over again - there's fewer discs to buy and keep track of.

RECORDING

Setting Recording Options

There are several recording options and other settings that should be understood and checked before you begin recording.

Setting the Record Quality
