HOW TO USE THE DVD RECORDER & VCR

Step 1 : Select the disc type

Please check available disc type before recording.

~DVD-VR370

(DVD+RW/DVD+R discs can be played, but cannot be recorded.)

~DVD-VR375

If you want to repeatedly record on the same disc or you want to edit the disc after recording, select a rewritable DVD-RAM or DVD±RW type disc. If you want to save a recording without any changes, choose a non-rewritable DVD±R.

Step 2 : Format the disc to start recording

Unlike a VCR, the DVD Recorder & VCR starts formatting when an unused disc is inserted.

Using a DVD-RAM/±RW/+R

When an unused DVD-RAM/±RW/+R disc is first 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.

M ` You 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.
