INTRODUCTION

What is a DVD?

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a storage medium that combines the convenience of the compact disc with the latest digital video technology. DVD video uses modern MPEG2 data compression technology that enables an entire feature film to be stored on a single five inch disc.

How good is the resolution of DVD compared with VHS?

The razor-sharp digital images have more than 500 lines of resolution at 720 pixels per line. This is more than twice as high as VHS and even better than laser disc quality. DVD picture quality is easily comparable to the digital masters produced in recording studios.

What is a DVD+RW?

DVD+ReWritable uses ‘phase change‘ media, the same technology on which rewritable CDs are based. A high- performance laser is used to change the reflective properties of the recording layer; this process can be repeated more than a thousand times.

What is a DVD+R?

Unlike a DVD+RW disc, a DVD+R (write-once DVD) can only be written to once. If it is not finalized after a recording, further recordings can be added to it. Old recordings can be deleted but they can no longer be overwritten. The deleted recordings (titles) are marked 'deleted title'.

Before a DVD+R can be played in a DVD player, it must be finalized in the DVD Recorder+VCR. Once this process is complete, no further recordings can be added.

What can I do with my DVD Recorder+VCR?

Your DVD Recorder+VCR is a machine for recording and playing back digital video discs with ‘two-way‘ compatibility with the universal DVD video standard. This means:

•existing DVD video discs can be played on the recorder.

•recordings made on your DVD Recorder+VCR can be played on other DVD video players and DVD-ROM drives.

About DVD Recording

Notes on Recording

•The recording times shown are not exact because the DVD Recorder+VCR 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.

•Discs recorded at high speeds (equal to or greater than 2X) may not be recognized.

•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 the exact length of the disc.

•The available recording time 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.

Recording TV Audio Channels

The DVD Recorder+VCR can record one or two channel audio. For TV broadcasts, this usually means mono or stereo, but some programs are broadcast in bilingual audio channel. You can record either BIL I, BIL II or both.
