Introduction

DVD Recorder

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is the new storage medium that combines the convenience of the Compact Disc with the latest advanced digital video technology. DVD Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc. DVD’s variable bitrate compression, running at up to

9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most complex pictures in their original quality. The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line. This resolution is more than double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely comparable with digital masters made in recording studios.

DVD recording is the next step in video technology. DVD+ReWritable (DVD+RW) uses phase-change media, the same technology that formed the basis for CDReWritable. A high-power laser is used to change the reﬂectivity of the recording layer. This process can be repeated more than a thousand times. DVD+Recordable (DVD+R) uses discs based on an organic dye, a technology pioneered with the successful CD-Recordable format, to produce discs that keep your data for a lifetime.

Your DVD Recorder is a Recorder and player for digital video discs, with a two-way compatibility to the universal DVD Video standard. This means that:

- existing pre-recorded DVD Video discs can play on your DVD Recorder and

- recordings , made on your DVD Recorder, can play on most DVD Video players and DVD-ROM drives.

With it, you will be able to record TV programs or edit and archive your own video camera recordings. Superb digital picture and sound quality, quick access to the tracks you have recorded and extensive playback features contribute to a completely new video experience.

From now on you will enjoy full-length movies with true cinema picture quality and stereo or Multi-channel sound (depending on the disc and on your playback set-up). You will ﬁnd your Recorder remarkably easy to use, with the on-screen display on your TV, the display on the DVD recorder and remote control.

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur because the disc inside the Recorder is dirty. To avoid these problems, clean your discs regularly in the following way:

●

When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc in a straight line from the center out to the edge.

Caution: Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog discs. Do not use commercially available cleaning discs to clean the lens, as these discs may damage the optical unit.
