How to use the DVD Recorder-VCR

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 any changes, choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.

Step 1. Select the disc type

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.

Step 3. 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

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. AVR

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 disc on various DVD components only when they

have been finalised.

Step 2. Format the disc to start recording

Note

• 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.

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-RW/DVD-R discs(in Video mode) can automatically create chapters according to the

recording mode when finalised.

Step 4. Playing

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/DVD-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 5. Editing a recorded disc

To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalising may be necessary. First, finish all

editing and recording operations, then finalise the disc.

When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode

Although finalising is generally unnecessary when playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible

component, a finalised disc should be used for playback on that type of component.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode

The disc should be finalised 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 finalised.

To enable recording on the disc again, Disc should be unfinalised.

When using a DVD-R disc

You should finalise the disc to play it on a component other than this recorder. You cannot edit

or record on the disc once it has been finalised.
