Recording to DVD Discs
With DVD+R/RW recording, you can create your own DVDs from your home movies, favorite TV shows or from other
video sources.
DVD+RW
Think of DVD+RW (DVD+ReWritable) discs as the
digital equivalent of your old VHS tapes. Like video tape,
DVD+RW discs can be recorded to, erased and re-used.
But unlike video tape, DVD+RW discs will retain their
crystal-clear digital quality even after being erased and
re-recorded multiple times. And, this superior quality will
not degrade with the passage of time like VHS tapes.
Recording- Rear Input Connections
REAR RECORDING INPUTS - There are (2) recording source inputs on the back panel, (1) S-VIDEO (referred to as
"S-VIDEO") and (1) Composite Video (referred to as "VIDEO 1"). Note that both of these video inputs share the
same stereo audio input.

You may choose from the following input
sources:
!

Tuner allows you to record your favorite TV
programs. Your unit will automatically scan
for available channels the first time you
select Tuner as an input source.
!
VIDEO1 - The Composite Video Input
located at the back of the unit. Used for any
video device with Composite Video Out.
!
S-VIDEO - Located on the back panel, S-
VIDEO provides a better picture than
standard Composite Video. Use this input
for camcorders or other video devices when
possible.
!
DVD - This is your unit's internal DVD drive.
Since this is the drive your are recording to,
you cannot use this as an input source.
Select this when watching DVD discs or
playing images and music files.

DV - The DV Input on the Front Panel.
A lower-cost alternative to DVD+RW, these "Recordable"
discs cannot be erased. Once a recording is made to a
DVD+R disc, the disc space used by that recording can
never be reclaimed. DVD+R discs must be 'finalized'
before they can be played back on standard DVD
Players, and once this process is complete, no more
recordings can be added. This is an important difference
between DVD+R and DVD+RW Discs.
Formatting a Blank Disc
New discs need to be formatted before using for the first
time. Your unit will automatically detect an unformatted
disc and will notify you with a prompt. Simply select
when asked if you want to format the disc. Formatting
/ keys to select
only takes around 20-45 seconds.
