How to use the DVD Recorder-VCR

Step 1 Select the disc type

This unit can record on the following types of discs. If you want to repeatedly record on the same disc or you want to edit the disc after recording, select a rewritable DVD-RW or DVD-RAM type disc. If you want to save a recording without any changes, choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.

Step 2 Format the disc to start recording

Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the preparation of recording on a disc.

Using a DVD-RAM

Step 3

Recording

There are two different recording methods: Direct Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is classified as recording type : Once, Daily or Weekly or recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (stan- dard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP (extended mode) according to the recording mode.

Step 4

Playing

You can select the title you want to play in a displayed menu and then immediately start playback.

A DVD consists of sections, called titles, and sub sec- tions, called chapters.

During recording, a title is created between two points where you start and stop recording, DVD-RW/DVD-R discs(in Video mode) can automatically create chap- ters according to the recording mode when finalised.

Step 6

Finalising & Playing on

other DVD components

 

To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalsing may be necessary. First, finish all editing and recording operations, then finalise the disc.

When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode

Although finalising is generally unnecessary when playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible component, a finalised disc should be used for playback on that type of component.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode

The disc should be finalised first to enable playback on anything other than this recorder. No more editing or recording can be made on the disc once it has been finalised.

To enable recording on the disc again, Disc should be unfinalised.

When using a DVD-R disc

You should finalise the disc to play it on a component other than this recorder. You cannot edit or record on the disc once it has been finalised.

This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). You can edit recorded images and create a playlist in a specific sequence according to your require- ments.

Using a DVD-RW

This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video for- mat (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks whether to format in VR Mode or not is displayed. You can play a video mode disc on various DVD components. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing.

Using a DVD-R

This type of disc can be formatted in DVD Video format. After formatting is complete, you can record on the disc. You can play this type of disc on various DVD components only when they have been finalised.

„ You can only use one format on a DVD-RW.

Note „ You can change the DVD-RW format to anoth- er format. It should be noted that the data of

the disc may be lost when changing formats.

Step 5 Editing a recorded disc

Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes. The recorder supports many different edit functions, pos- sible only with DVDs.

With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate vari- ous edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename, lock, etc., on a recorded title.

Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/DVD-RW in VR mode)

With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on the same disc and edit it without the change of the original recording.
