–Recording on a disc that has already been edited

–Recording only a still picture or just sound

•Since the recording mode for recorded titles is calculated after sampling the recorded data during playback, it may be displayed differently from the mode you selected when recording. However, the actual recording itself is correctly made in the selected mode.

Recording main and sub sounds

You can record the different soundtracks on a DVD-RW (VR mode) or DVD-R (VR mode) from equipment connected to the LINE 1 IN or LINE 2 IN jacks. When playing the disc, you can select main or sub sound by pressing the AUDIO button. Set “Line Audio Input” in “Audio” setup to “Main/Sub” in the Setup Display (page 102). When recording on other discs, select either sound track with the connected equipment before recording.

Unrecordable pictures

Pictures with copy protection cannot be recorded on this recorder. Recording stops when a copy guard signal is detected.
