Features

Along with playing back CDs and recording, editing, and playing back DVDs, this unit offers you the following features.

Recording

The unit is compatible with DVD-RW discs which are recordable repeatedly, and DVD-R discs which are recordable only once.

■Recording up to 8 programmes:

You can programme the unit to record up to 8 programmes, up to a month in advance. Daily or weekly programme recordings are also possible.

■One-touch Timer Recording:

You can set your required recording time easily. Every time [REC I] is pressed during recording, the recording time will be increased by 30 minutes up to 8 hours. The recording automatically stops when the recording time you set is finished.

Chapter markers will be added to recordings as you set them in the Setup menu before starting to record.

■Automatic Title menu making:

The unit creates Title menus automatically when finalising discs.

■Automatic Playlist making (VR mode):

■Automatic finalising (Video mode):

You can finalise discs automatically at the end of the disc space if you set this in the Setup menu.

■Left channel stereo recording:

The unit can record monaural sound from the Left channel as pseudo stereo sound (same Left and Right channels) automatically. (This function is not available for input source of AV3 jacks on the rear panel.)

Playback

■Theatre surround sound:

When the unit is connected to an amplifier or a decoder compatible with Dolby Digital or DTS, you can enjoy theatre-quality surround sound from discs recorded with the surround sound system.

■Chasing Playback during Recording and Simultaneous Playback and Recording:

You can play the already recorded part of the current recording or another title during recording.

■Quick search:

You can easily find the part you want to watch using the search function. Search for a desired point on a disc by title, chapter or time.

■Playback from Original or Playlist (VR mode):

You can play back titles using either the Original list or a Playlist.

■Virtual Surround System:

You can enjoy stereophonic space through your exciting 2 channel stereo system.

Editing

■Protecting titles (VR mode):

To avoid accidental editing or erasing of titles, the protect function is useful when set to “ON” in the Original list.

Compatibility

■Playing back discs recorded in Video mode on any regular DVD player:

Discs recorded in Video mode can be played back on regular DVD players, including computer DVD drives compatible with DVD-Video playback. You will need to finalise the discs recorded in Video mode to play back in other DVD players.

*DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for recording on DVD-R/RW discs that was approved by the DVD Forum in 2000. Adoption of this format is optional for manufactures of DVD playback devices and there are DVD-Video players, DVD-ROM drives and other DVD playback devices available that cannot play back DVD-R/RW discs recorded in the DVD- Video Format.

■PDC:

This system assures that the TV programme you wish to record using timer recording will be recorded exactly from beginning to end even if the actual broadcasting time differs.
