Step 5
Editing a recorded disc
You can select the title you want to play in a displayed
menu and then immediately start playback.
A DVD consists of sections, called titles, and sub
sections, called chapters.
During recording, a title is created between two points
where you start and stop recording. DVD-R/DVD-RW
discs (in Video mode) can automatically create
chapters according to the recording mode when
finalized.
There are two different recording methods, Direct
Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
classified as recording type : Once, Daily or Weekly or
recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP
(standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode),
and EP (extended mode) according to the recording
mode. When recording is set in the FR mode, the best
quality picture is recorded with regards to the
remaining time on the disc.
Editing on discs is easier than conventional video
tapes. The recorder supports many different edit
functions, possible only with DVDs.
With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate
various edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename,
lock, etc., on a recorded title.
Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/-RW in VR mode)
With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on
the same disc and edit it without the change of the
original recording.
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 or 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
image and create a playlist and edit images in a
specific sequence according to your requirements.
Using a DVD-RW
This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video
format (Video 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. A VR 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.
■ You can only use one format on a DVD-RW.
■ You can change the DVD-RW format to
another format. It should be noted that
the data of the disc may be lost when
changing formats.
NOTE
Step 6
Finalizing & Playing on
other DVD components
To play your DVD on other DVD components,
finalizing may be necessary. First, finish all editing and
recording operations, then finalize the disc.
When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode
Although finalizing is generally unnecessary when
playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible
component, a finalized disc should be used for
playback on that type of component.
When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode
The disc should be finalized first to enable playback
on anything other than this recorder. No more editing
or recording can be made on the disc once it has
been finalized.
When using a DVD-R disc
You should finalize the disc to play it on a component
other than this recorder.You cannot edit or record on
the disc once it has been finalized.
