How to use the DVD Recorder & VCR
Step 1 : Select the disc type
Please check available disc type before recording.
(DVD-RAM/DVD+RW/DVD+R discs can be played, but
cannot be recorded.)
If you want to repeatedly record on the same disc or you
want to edit the disc after recording, select a rewritable
DVD-RW type disc. If you want to save a recording
without any changes, choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.
Step 2 : Format the disc to start recording
Unlike a VCR, the DVD Recorder & VCR starts formatting
when an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the
preparation of recording on a disc.
Using a DVD-RW
This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video
format (V mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR
mode). Before insert a unused disc, you can select a
recording format (VR mode or Video mode) according to
your needs. (See page 28).
Unused discs are automatically formatted when fi rst
inserted in the DVD Recorder & VCR. The message
"Unformatted Disc. Formatting. Please wait. " will be
displayed. You can play a Video mode disc on various
DVD components. A VR mode disc allows more varied
editing.
Using a DVD-R
Formatting disc is unnecessary and only V Mode
Recording is supported. You can play these type of discs
on various DVD components only when they have been
fi nalised.
M

You can only use either the VR or Video mode on a
DVD-RW, but not both at the same time.

You can format a DVD-RW to V or VR mode using
Disc Setting. It should be noted that the disc's
data will be lost when changing formats.
