HOW TO USE THE DVD RECORDER

Step 1 : Select the disc type

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 or DVD-RAM type disc. If you want to save a recording without making any changes, choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.

Step 2 : Format the disc to start recording

The recorder automatically starts formatting when an unused disc is inserted.

Using a DVD-RAM/-RW

When an unused DVD-RAM/-RW disc is fi rst inserted, the message "Unformatted Disc. Formatting. Please wait." will be displayed.

Using a DVD-R

It is not necessary to format a new DVD-R disc. When it is inserted, it will operate in Video mode. It can also be formatted in VR mode in the setup menu.

You can change the disc mode only once when an unused DVD-R disc is inserted.

MYou can only use either the VR or Video mode on a DVD-RW/-R, but not both at the same time.

You can format a DVD-RW/-R to V or VR mode using disc setting.

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(recording a program you are currently watching) and Timer Recording.

Timer recording is classifi ed as follows : Recording mode : HQ (high quality mode), HSP, SP (standard quality mode), LSP, ESP, LP, EP, SLP (Long duration mode) according to the recording mode.

When recording is set in the AUTO mode, the best quality picture is recorded with regards to the remaining time on the disc.

Step 4 : Playing

To start playback, select the title you want to play from the title list.

A DVD consists of sections called titles, and sub sections called chapters.

During recording, a title is created between two points where you start and stop recording. Chapters will be created automatically regardless of the disc type when it is set at the setup menu.
