About DVD recording

otes

This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or CD-RW discs.

Our company takes no responsibility for recording fail- ure due to power cuts, defective discs, or damage to the recorder.

Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect playback and/or recording performance. Please take proper care of your discs.

Disc types and recording formats, modes, and settings

This recorder can play five different kinds of DVD disc: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format for DVD-R discs is always “Video format”—the same as pre-record- ed DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD-R in a regular DVD player.

By default, the DVD-RW disc format is Video Recording format, though you can change this to Video format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase the contents of the disc.)

The recording mode is closely related to the disc for- mat. If the disc format is Video Recording format, then the recording mode is VR mode; if the disc format is Video mode, then the recording mode is Video mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not recordable, and so does not have a recording mode).

Within the recording modes (which are fixed for the whole disc) are the record settings. 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.

Notes 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 record- ing 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 you change the recording format (Video mode or VR mode) before you record anything on the disc. See page 26 (Disc Initialize) for how to do this.

When using a 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.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video mode, recording time available will only increase if you erase the last title recorded on the disc.

The Erase Title option in the Title List-Original menu only hides the title, it does not actually erase the title from the disc and increase the recording time avail- able (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in Video mode).

The overwrite recording is available with DVD+RW disc.
