What is the difference between DVD±R and DVD±RW?

DVD±R is “recordable” and DVD±RW is “rewritable”. With a DVD±R, you can record multiple sessions on the same disc, but when the disc is full, you cannot record any more on the disc. The DVD±RW allows you to record over the same disc repeatedly.

How do I check the remaining space available on a recordable DVD disc?

In disc menu mode, press REC MODE on the remote control to display the remaining time available. (The length if time available depends on the mode of recording quality).

What is DV?

Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this recorder using a single DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data and control signals.

This recorder is only compatible with DV-format (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible.

You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at a time to this recorder.

You cannot control this recorder from external equipment connected via the DV IN socket.

chapter markers

Programmes are recorded as a single title, it may consist of one chapter or a few chapters within a title, depending on the recording settings.

How do I set up Titles and

Chapters?

The recorder automatically creates a new Title every time you start a new recording. You can then add Chapters to these recordings manually or have them automatically inserted at 5-minute intervals.

What does “finalising” a disc do?

Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no longer be recorded, only required for DVD±R. It will then be compatible with any DVD player. To close a disc without finalising it, simply stop recording and eject the disc. You will still be able to record on the disc if there is room for more recordings.
