How to use the DVD
Recorder		Getting
Step 1	Select the disc type	Started

This unit can record on the following types of discs. If you want to repeatedly record on the same disc

or you want to edit the disc after recording, select a rewritable DVD-RW type disc.

If you want to save recording without any change, choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.

Step 2 Format the disc to start recording

Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the preparation of disc recording.

Using a DVD-RW

This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD- Video format (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks whether to initialize or not is displayed. You can play a Video mode disc in standard DVD players. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing.

Using a DVD-R

This type of disc can be formatted in DVD Video format.

After formatting is complete, you can record on the disc.

You can play this type of disc on various DVD components only when they have been finalized.

■You can only use either the VR or Video mode on a DVD-RW, but not both at the

NOTE

same time.

■You can change the DVD-RW format to another format by reinitializing.

It should be noted that the disc's data will be lost when changing formats.
