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 format- ting when an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the preparation of recording on a disc.

Using a DVD-RAM

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 requirements.

Using a DVD±RW/+R

•When an unused DVD±RW/+R disc is first inserted, the message "Uninitialized Disc. Do you want to ini- tialize this disc?" will be displayed.

If you select Yes, initializing will be start. DVD-RW disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode)

•With DVD+RW discs, there is no difference between DVD-Video format (Video mode) and DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode).

Using a DVD-R

Initializing disc is unnecessary and only V mode Recording is supported. You can play this type of disc on various DVD components only when they have been finalized.

■ You can only use either the VR or Video

Note mode on a DVD-RW, but not both at the same time.

■You can format a DVD-RW to V or VR mode using disc manager.

It should be noted that the disc's data will be lost when changing formats.

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. Chapters will be created automatically when you finalize recording on DVD-R / DVD-RW discs in Video mode.

You can make your own chapters on DVD+RWs and edit them using the Chapter Edit menu.

The chapter’s length (interval between chapters) varies according to the recording mode.

Step 5 Editing a recorded disc

Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes. The recorder supports many different edit func- tions, possible only with DVDs.

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

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

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