Read this before recording on disc

This section explains what you must know to record onto a disc. Read it before attempting to record.

NOTE:

Should a power failure occur or the AC cord plug be disconnected while recording, editing, initializing, finaliz- ing or any other function, the program being recorded will be lost or the disc may not be playable. Manufacturer cannot guarantee against loss of pro- gram or disc should this occur. To start recording again, re-format the disc or use a new disc and follow the instruction on recording.

NOTES:

Recording time can change for the following reasons.

¥When image quality is poor as dur- ing poor TV reception.

¥When recording on a disc that has been edited before.

¥When the video is followed with re- cordings of still images or just au- dio.

Types of disc

You can use DVD-RAM, DVD-RW and DVD-R discs to record video.

DVD-RAM/-RW (VR mode)

¥This mode involves mutiple editing functions.

¥Various editing options using a created Playlist.

DVD-RW/-R (Video mode)

¥ Simple editing (renaming titles).

For more information on recording format, see “Recording for-

mat” (page 10).

¥ Recording time above is based on a 4.7GB disc.

Since DVD recording is performed using VBR (Variable Bit Rate), re- cording time varies according to the recorded content.

To know the correct recording time, stop recording and check the me- dia information. (See page 36.)

Disc remaining time

VR mode

¥Recording is possible as long as there is available space on the disc. (Finalized discs can be recorded by cancelling the finalization, see ÒUNDO FINALIZEÓ on page 29.)

¥Erasing unnecessary title frees up available space on the disc. (Titles can be erased from finalized discs by first undoing the finalization. See ÒUNDO FINALIZEÓ on page 29.)

NOTE:

Because of characteristics peculiar to digital video compression technol- ogy, scenes with fast motion may appear as a matrix of larger blocks.

The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs and other materials, is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and/or criminal liability.

Video mode

¥Up until the disc is finalized, recording is possible as long as there is available space on the disc. (Once the disc has been finalized, addi- tional recording and erasing are not possible.)

¥The remaining time cannot be increased, nor can recorded title be overwritten.

¥Titles cannot be erased nor can recorded titles be overwritten.
