How to use the DVD Recorder & VCR

▌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

Unlike a VCR, the 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 images and create a playlist in a specific sequence according to your requirements.

Using a DVD-RW

When an unused DVD-RW disc is first inserted, the message "Uninitialized Disc. Do you want to initialize this disc?" will be displayed.

If you select Yes, initializing will be begin. DVD-RW discs can be formatted in either DVD-Video format (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode)

Using a DVD-R

When using a DVD-R disc, only V mode recording is possible and no initialization is needed to play it on this recorder. However, finalization is necessary to play this disc on other DVD players.

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

You can format a DVD-RW to V or VR mode using disc manager.

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 determined as a date and recording can be done once, daily or weekly. There are 4 recording modes : XP (high quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP (extended mode).
