Features

1DVD-RW/R recording/playback with outstanding compatibility

•This Recorder is compatible with digital recording on rewritable DVD-RW discs and one-time record- able DVD-R discs. It has two recording formats:

“VR (Video Recording) mode” which has a wealth of editing functions, and “Video mode” which can be played back with existing DVD players. This lets you enjoy recording and dubbing to suit your purpose.

2High picture quality design (Used in all hard disc and DVD modes)

VBR (Variable Bit Rate) recording

•Constantly maintains optimal high picture quality by varying the bit rate (amount of video data) for each scene depending on the video content (e.g. whether movement is fast or slow).

3A variety of hard disc tDVD dubbing functions

1High speed dubbing*1

Enables high speed dubbing from hard disc to DVD so you can enjoy creating your own video library.

*1 For high speed dubbing, use discs conforming to DVD-RW Ver. 1.1/2gor DVD-R Ver. 2.0/4g.

2Rate conversion dubbing

The mode can be selected from 32 levels just like recording mode. This enables recording at the optimal picture quality, given the remaining empty space on the disc.

3Exact dubbing

This automatically adjusts to the optimal record mode so that the material is dubbed exactly into the remaining area on the disc.

The time normally required for a programme of an hour on High Speed Dubbing to a double speed compatible disc

Recording Mode	Speed	Time Required
FINE	Approx. 2g	Approx. 30 min
SP	Approx. 4g	Approx. 15 min
LP	Approx. 8g	Approx. 7.5 min
EP	Approx. 12g	Approx. 5 min

4“Time Shift Viewing”, “Chasing Playback” and “Simultaneous Recording/Playback” —functions you can only get with a hard disc

1Time shift viewing

While you are watching a programme, the phone rings.… At times like this, you can pause the

programme being broadcast at the press of a button, and then watch the rest of the programme at your leisure after you finish your phone call. You can also switch to the current broadcast scene just by pressing ■STOP/LIVE button.

2Chasing playback

You return home earlier than expected while timer recording is in progress…. At times like this, you

don’t have to wait for recording to end. You can immediately view the programme from the begin- ning.

3Simultaneous recording/playback

Even while recording to the hard disc, you can enjoy playback of a DVD, or programmes already recorded on hard disc. You don’t have to wait for recording to finish.

5Comprehensive editing functions

(Only titles recorded on the hard disc or in VR mode on DVD-RW can be edited.)

1Play list edit

This lets you gather only the needed parts (i.e. a “Play List”) from a recorded original video (title). You can rearrange scenes and combine them with other scenes, or rearrange titles. This is convenient when you want to dub and save only the necessary scenes and titles.

2Chapter edit

This lets you divide a title into chapter units during recording/playback or using the edit screen. After dividing, a list of recordings (thumbnails) can be displayed in chapter units, so you can copy, erase or dub to the play list in chapter units.

3Erase scene

This lets you erase unnecessary scenes. This is convenient when you want to cut out the commer- cials in a recorded programme before dubbing.

4Batch erasing of titles/chapters

Titles and chapters which become unnecessary after editing can be batch erased by selecting them from the list of recordings (thumbnails).

5Edit undo function*2

If you mistakenly erase data during editing, this function lets you restore it to its immediately preceding state, just like “Undo” on a PC, so you can edit worry-free.

*2 Edit undo can only be used once. It only works when “UNDO” is assigned to a coloured button (green) dis- played on the screen.
