Welcome to the large family of DVD owners.

Thank you for buying a MRV640/17 .

Please take the time to read this owner's manual before using your DVD Recorder. It contains important information and notes regarding operation.

The DVD Recorder should not be turned on immediately after transportation from a cold to a hot area or vice versa, or in conditions of extreme humidity.

Wait at least three hours after transporting the device. The DVD Recorder needs this to acclimate to its new environment (temperature, air humidity, etc.).

Your team hopes you will enjoy using your new DVD Recorder.

What is a DVD?

 

DVDs (Digital Versatile Discs) are the new storage medium that

 

combines the convenience of the Compact Disc with the latest advanced

 

digital video technology. DVD Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data

 

compression technology that allows an entire film to be put on a single

 

5-inch disc.

 

How high is the resolution compared to VHS?

 

The crystal-clear digital pictures have a resolution of over 500 lines, with

 

720 pixels (picture elements) per line. This resolution is more than

 

double that of VHS and is superior to Laser Discs. The quality can be

 

compared to digital masters made in recording studios.

 

What is DVD+RW?

 

DVD+ReWritable (DVD+RW) uses phase-change media, the same

 

technology that formed the basis for CD-ReWritable. A high-power laser

 

is used to change the reflectivity of the recording layer. This process

 

means the disc can be recorded on more than a thousand times.

 

What is DVD+R?

 

DVD+R (recordable DVD). In contrast to DVD+RW, this disc can only

 

be recorded once. If a disc has not been finalized after recording, it can

 

continue to be recorded upon in the DVD Recorder. Old recordings can

 

be later deleted, but they cannot be overwritten. The deleted titles are

 

marked as 'Deleted title.'

 

For this disc to be played in a DVD player, it must be 'finalized' in the

 

DVD Recorder. After this has been completed, no further recordings

 

can be added.

 

What can my DVD Recorder do?

 

Your DVD Recorder is a Recorder and Player for digital video discs,

 

with a two-way compatibility to the universal DVD Video standard. This

 

means that:

 

•)existing pre-recorded DVDs can be played.

 

•)recordings made on your DVD Recorder can play on existing DVD

 

Video players and DVD-ROM drives. In some cases, the discs may have

?

to be finalized before they will play on other DVD players.
