Finalising & Playing on

other DVD components

Step 3

Recording

Step 6

Before Reading the

User’s Manual

How to use the DVD

Recorder-VCR

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 (stan-

dard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP

(extended mode) according to the recording mode.

To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalsing

may be necessary. First, finish all editing and recording

operations, then finalise the disc.

Make sure to read the following terms before reading

the user’s manual.

When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode

Step 1

Select the disc type

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.

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.

able in DVD or Video Mode

DVD-R

menu and then immediately start playback.

This involves a function avail-

able in DVD-R

When using a DVD-R disc

A DVD consists of sections, called titles, and sub sec-

tions, called chapters.

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.

This involves a function avail-

able in a data CD (CD-R or

CD-RW)

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 chap-

ters according to the recording mode when finalised.

This involves a function avail-

able in a data picture CD

(CD-R or CD-RW)

Step 2

Format the disc to start recording

JPEG

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.

This involves a function avail-

able in a data CD (CD-R or

CD-RW on which MP3 is

recorded)

MP3

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 require-

ments.

This involves tips or instruc-

tions on the page that help

each function operation

NOTE

Step 5

Editing a recorded disc

Check items before operating

each function.

Using a DVD-RW

Preliminary

This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video for-

mat (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.

Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes.

The recorder supports many different edit functions, pos-

sible only with DVDs.

With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate vari-

ous edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename, lock,

etc., on a recorded title.

Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/DVD-RW in VR

mode)

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.

With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on the

same disc and edit it without the change of the original

recording.

„

You can only use one format on a DVD-RW.

You can change the DVD-RW format to anoth-

er format. It should be noted that the data of
