How to use the DVD Recorder

Step 1 Select the disc type

This DVD Recorder 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 DVD Recorder automatically starts formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the preparation of recording on a disc.

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 format in VR Mode or not is displayed. You can play a Video mode disc on various DVD components. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing.

Using a DVD-R

Formatting a disc is unnecessary and only Video Mode Recording is supported. You can play this type of discs on various DVD components only when they have been finalised.

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

NOTE

both at the 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.
