Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of disc should I use for recording?

You can only record on a DVD+R and DVD+RW discs. DVD+R/+RW is the most compatible recordable DVD format on the market today. They are fully compatible to most of the existing DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives in computers.

What is the capacity of a DVD+R/+RW disc?

4.7GB, or equivalent to 6CDs. You can store only one hour of recordings on a single disc at the highest quality (DVD standard) and about 6 hours recordings at the lowest quality (VHS standard).

The recording mode indicates the number of hours that will ﬁt on a single disc.

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

DVD+R is “recordable” and DVD+RW is “erasable” and “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 literally hundreds of times.

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.

Can I copy a VHS tape or DVD from an external player?

Yes, but only if the VHS tape or DVD is not copy protected.

What are Titles and Chapters?

A DVD disc contains Titles and Chapters, which are similar to the Titles and Chapters of a book. A Title is often a complete movie and is broken down into Chapters, or individual scenes from the movies.

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 DVD 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-minutes 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 virtually 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.

How good is the quality of the recording?

There are a few quality levels to choose from, ranging from “1 hour mode” (High Quality) to “6 hours mode” (VHS quality). Press REC MODE button on the remote control to choose the quality level that best suits your purpose and the length of material.

Maximum Recording	Picture Quality	Record
