How to use the

TWIN TRAY DVD RECORDER

Step 1

Select the disc type

Step 2

Format the disc to start recording
This device 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 any changes,
choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.
Unlike a VCR, the TWIN TRAYDVD 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
This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-
Video format (V 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. AVR 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 discs on
various DVD components only when they have
been finalized.
