Frequently asked questions

In this section you can find answers to frequently asked questions on how to use your DVD recorder and what it can do..

•What kind of discs can I use for recording?

You can use DVD-R and DVD-RW discs for recording. DVD-RAM, CD-R and CD-RW discs are not recordable using this recorder.

See Disc / content format playback compatibility on page 9 for more details.

•Can I watch recordings made using this recorder on other DVD players?

Yes. Use a DVD-R disc for you recordings (these are always recorded in Video mode). After recording, finalize the disc to make it playable on other DVD players (note that you cannot make further recordings on the disc after finalizing it).

If you want to use a DVD-RW disc, make sure that it’s initialized for recording in Video mode. As with a DVD-R, finalize the disc after recording to make it playable in other players.

See also Playing your recordings on other DVD players on page 44.

•Can I edit recordings, or erase parts of recordings from a disc?

Yes. Recording to a VR mode DVD-RW disc gives you the most flexibility when editing. By default, when you load a new DVD-RW disc into the recorder it is initialized for recording in VR mode.

See also Editing on page 54.

•Can I play a VR mode DVD-RW disc in another DVD player?

Look for the ‘RW Compatible’ mark on the other DVD player to see if it will play VR mode DVD-RW discs. If the player does not recognize the disc when you load it, try finalizing it in the recorder, then try again.

See also Playing your recordings on other DVD players on page 44.

•Can I record a copy-once protected program from a subscription satellite or cable channel?

Yes, but you’ll need to use a CPRM-compatible DVD- RW disc initialized for VR mode recording. (Look on the disc package to see if it is CPRM compatible.)

See also CPRM on page 33.

•Can I play a disc while recording?

Yes. For simultaneous recording and playback, use a 2x speed compatible DVD-RW initialized for VR mode recording (the disc should be a DVD-RW Ver. 1.1 (CPRM-compatible), or Ver. 1.2.

See also Simultaneous recording and playback on page 40.

•I changed the batteries in the remote control and now it doesn’t work!

Most likely the remote control ID does not match the recorder. After changing the batteries, the remote ID is reset to 1; if the recorder is set to something else, the remote will not work with it.

See Remote Control Mode on page 73 for how to set the ID of the recorder and the remote.
