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 or DVD-RAM 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

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-RAM

This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). You can edit recorded video and create a playlist and edit video in a specific sequence according to your requirements.

Using a DVD±RW/+R

•When an unused DVD±RW/+R disc is first inserted, the message “Uninitialised Disc. Do you want to initialise this disc?” will be displayed. If you select Yes, initialising will be start. DVD-RW disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode)

•With DVD+RW discs have no difference between DVD-Video format (Video mode) and DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode).

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 both at the same time.

■You can change the DVD-RW format to another format by reinitialising. It should be noted that the disc's data will be lost when changing formats.

▌Step 3 : Recording

There are two different recording methods, Direct Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is classified as a Date : Once, Daily, MO-SA, MO-FR, W-SA, etc.

Recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP (extended mode) according to the recording mode. When recording is set in the FR mode, the best quality picture is recorded with regards to the remaining time on the disc.
