The storage capacity of the disc and tape are dependable on the recording mode selected. This recorder also incorporates timer recording function which allows a scheduled recording to be made.

Recording media

The recording media for this recorder are DVD±R/±RW/+R DL and VHS tape.

DVD±RW (DVD Rewritable)

–Discs that are rewritable can be used for multiple recordings once the existing data is erased.

DVD±R (DVD Recordable)

–Discs can only be used for a single recording. Each new recording is always added at the end of all previous recordings as existing recordings cannot be overwritten.

–Editing can be done on DVD±R discs as long as they have not been finalised.

–To playback a DVD±R on other DVD player, it must be finalised (see the chapter “Editing/ Finalising Recording – Playing your recordings (DVD±R) on other DVD players”). After this is done, no more data can be added to the disc.

DVD+R DL (DVD+R Double Layer)

–It contains the same usage as DVD+R, the only difference is the capacity of 8.5 GB. It offers two recordable layers on a single DVD disc. The layers are accessible from the same side of the disc, so recording can occur completely uninterrupted.

–The VCR automatically marks the tape with an index signal at the point where each recording begins.
