About DVD recording

Notes:

This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or CD-RW discs.

Our company takes no responsibility for recording failure due to power outages, defective discs, or damage to the Recorder.

Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect playback and/or recording performance. Please take proper care of your discs.

Disc types and recording formats, modes, and settings

This recorder can play three different kinds of DVD discs: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD+RW, and DVD+R discs. The DVD+R and DVD+RW discs are always “Video format”—the same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized or make edits compatible, you can play a DVD+R, or DVD+RW in a regular DVD player.

Recording time and picture quality

There are four preset recording quality modes:

HQ – Highest quality setting, gives about 1 hour of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).

SQ – Default quality, sufficient for most applications, gives about 2 hours of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).

LQ – Slightly lower video quality, gives about 4 hour of recording time on a DVD disc (4.7GB).

EQ – Lowest video quality, gives about 6 hour of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).

Copyright

Recording equipment should be used only for lawful copying and you are advised to check carefully what is lawful copying in the area in which you are making a copy. Copying of copyright material such as films or music is unlawful unless permitted by a legal exception or consented to by the rights owner.

This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only, unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.

Notes for recording

The recording times shown are not exact because the recorder uses variable bit-rate video compression. This means that the exact recording time will depend on the material being recorded. When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception is poor or the picture contains interference, the recording times may be shorter.

If you record still pictures or audio only, the recording time may be longer.

The displayed times for recording and time remaining may not always add up to exactly the length of the disc.

The recording time available may decrease if you heavily edit a disc.

When using a DVD+R disc, you can keep recording until the disc is full, or until you finalize the disc. Before you start a recording session, check the amount of recording time left on the disc.

The Delete Title option in the Title List menu only hides the title, it does not actually erase the title from the disc and increase the recording time available (except for the last recorded title on a DVD+RW disc).

This recorder records with NTSC or PAL signal depend on the source. But the recorder cannot record NTSC and PAL signals on a DVD disc simultaneously.
