Notes for recording
Recording
About DVD recording
ꢀ The recording times shown are not exact because
the recorder uses variable bit-rate video
compression. This means that the exact recording
time will depend on the material being recorded.
ꢀ When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception is
poor or the picture contains interference, the
recording times may be shorter.
ꢀ If you record still pictures or audio only, the
recording time may be longer.
ꢀ The displayed times for recording and time
remaining may not always add up to exactly the
length of the disc.
Notes:
ꢀ This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or
CD-RW discs.
ꢀ Our company takes no responsibility for recording
failure due to power outages, defective discs, or
damage to the Recorder.
ꢀ Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can
affect playback and/or recording performance.
Please take proper care of your discs.
ꢀ The recording time available may decrease if you
heavily edit a disc.
ꢀ If using a DVD-RW disc, make sure you change the
recording format (Video mode or VR mode) before
you record anything on the disc. See page 22
(Initialize) for how to do this.
Disc types and recording formats, modes,
and settings
This recorder can play five different kinds of DVD
discs: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW,
DVD-R, DVD-RAM, DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The
disc format for DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW discs is
always “Video format”—the same as pre-recorded
DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized, you
can play a DVD-R, DVD+R, or DVD+RW in a regular
DVD player. The DVD-RAM disc format is Video
Recording (VR) format.
By default, the DVD-RW disc format is Video format,
though you can change this to Video Recording (VR)
format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase
the contents of the disc.)
ꢀ When using a DVD-R or DVD+R disc, you can keep
recording until the disc is full, or until you finalize the
disc. Before you start a recording session, check
the amount of recording time left on the disc.
ꢀ When using a DVD-RW disc in Video mode,
recording time available will only increase if you
erase the last title recorded on the disc.
ꢀ The Delete Title option in the Title List (Original)
menu only hides the title, it does not actually erase
the title from the disc and increase the recording
time available (except for the last recorded title on a
DVD-RW disc in Video mode).
The recording mode is closely related to the disc
format. If the disc format is Video Recording format,
then the recording mode is VR mode; if the disc
format is Video mode, then the recording mode is
Video mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not
recordable, and so does not have a recording mode).
Within the recording modes (which are fixed for them
whole disc) are the record settings. These can be
changed as required for each recording and
determine the picture quality and how much space the
recording will take up on the disc.
ꢀ Overwrite recording is available using DVD+RW
discs.
ꢀ
When using a DVD+R/RW, the recorder will execute
the Menu-making operation to update the new title
and editing when removing the disc from the recorder
or turn off the recorder.
Recording time and picture quality
There are four preset recording quality modes:
ꢀ XP – Highest quality setting, gives about
1 hour of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).
ꢀ SP – Default quality, sufficient for most applications,
gives about 2 hours of recording time on a DVD
(4.7GB).
ꢀ LP – Slightly lower video quality, gives about 4 hour
of recording time on a DVD disc (4.7GB).
ꢀ EP – Lowest video quality, gives about 6 hour of
recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).
You may see a fragmented picture during playing
back the contents recorded in EP mode .

Editing
Title List and Chapter List Menu
Overview
Using the Title List menu you can edit video content.
The editing features available in the Title List menu
depend on whether you are editing video on DVD,
and whether you’re editing Original content, or a
Playlist.
There are two ways to edit VR mode DVD-RW discs.
You can directly edit the Original content of the disc,
or you can create and edit a Playlist. The Playlist
doesn’t actually change any of the content on the
disc, but just controls how the content is played back.

Titles, Chapters and Parts
You can create chapters within a title by inserting
chapter marks at the desired points.
Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or
more chapters. When you insert a disc’s title into the
Playlist, all the chapters within that title also appear. In
other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exactly as
chapters on a DVD-Video disc do. Parts are sections
of Original or Playlist titles. From the Original and
Playlist menu you can add or delete parts. Adding a
chapter or title to the Playlist creates a new title made
up of a section (ie., chapter) of an Original title.
Deleting a part removes part of a title from the
Original or Playlist menu.
Note:
Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals
automatically. You can change this interval from the
Initial Setup menu (see “Auto Chapter” on page 22).
During recording or playing back, at the point you
want to start a new chapter, press CHP ADD.
A chapter marker icon appears on the TV screen.

Changing Title Thumbnails
ꢀ When editing using the Delete, Add and Move

Is editing a DVD like editing a video
tape?
No. When you edit a video tape you need one video
deck to play the original tape and another to record
the edits. With DVD, you edit by making a ‘Playlist’ of
what to play and when to play it. On playback, the
Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.
If you prefer, select a different still picture from within
a title.
Press THUMBNAIL to make the currently displayed
picture the one that appears in the Title List menu.
The still picture that you choose appears in both the
Original or Playlist menu.
Tip:
You can also change the thumbnail picture of the title
on the Chapter List menu. Select a chapter on the
Chapter List menu then press THUMBNAIL. The
thumbnail picture of the title that includes the chapter
is changed.

overwritten. But if next title is protected, the
overwriting stops at the starting point of the
title.
To finalize a disc, refer to “Finalize” on page 23.
Notes:
ꢀ Unfinalized DVD+RW is playable on regular DVD
players.

seconds, the next title is overwritten. But if the next
title is protected, overwriting stops.
ꢀ The edited contents of a DVD+RW disc is
compatible on regular DVD players only after
finalization.
ꢀ Any edited contents of the DVD+R disc are not
compatible on regular DVD players. (Hide, chapter
combine, added chapter mark, etc.)
ꢀ How long finalization takes depends on the type of
disc, how much is recorded on the disc, and the
number of titles on the disc.
