Making recordings

Note	• Your recorder cannot record CD-R or
	CD-RW discs.
	• Fingerprints and small scratches on a
	disc can affect playback or recording
	performance. Take proper care of your
	discs.

•The company does not hold any responsibility to compensate anyone for material which should have been recorded, and any losses or damages (for example, losses of business profit, or business intermission) that may arise from any malfunction of your recorder (that is, not recording or editing as intended).

Disc types and recording formats, modes, and settings

Your recorder can play many different kinds of DVDs, including pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+RW, and DVD+Rs. The disc format for DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RWs is always “Video format”—the same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD-R, DVD+R, or DVD+RW in a regular DVD player.

The DVD-RW disc format is Video Recording (VR) format or Video format. You can change the recording format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase the contents of the disc.)

The recording mode is closely related to the disc format. If the disc format is Video Recording, then the recording mode is VR mode. If the disc format is Video format, then the recording mode is Video mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not recordable, and so does not have a recording mode). These can be changed as required for each recording and determine the picture quality and how much space the recording will take up on the disc.

General information for recording

•The recording times shown are not exact because the recorder 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.

•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 exactly the length of the disc.

•The recording time available may decrease if you heavily edit a disc.

•If using a DVD-RW disc, make sure that you change the recording format (Video mode or VR mode) before you record anything on the disc. See “Disc Settings” on page 15 (Initialize) for how to do this.

•When using a DVD-R or 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.
