• Recording is automatically paused if the recorder
detects no signal, or a copy-protected signal.
Recording restarts when there is a non-copy-
protected signal.
• You can pause or stop the recording by selecting
Pause Rec or Stop Rec from the on-screen display.
You cannot control the camcorder from this remote
control during recording.
• If you restart recording after stopping the camcorder,
the first few seconds of the camcorder tape will not
be recorded. Use the pause button on your
camcorder instead and recording will start
immediately.
• VR Mode only: A chapter marker is inserted every time
there is a break in the timecode on the DV tape. This
happens when the recording is stopped or paused
then restarted, for example.
• While recording, you cannot exit the DV recording
screen using the HOME MENU or RETURN button.
Note
• Depending on the connected camcorder, you may
not be able to control it using the remote control
supplied with this recorder.
• If the audio subcode on the DV tape cannot be read
correctly, the audio type will not switch
automatically. You can switch the audio manually
from the External Audio setting (page 83).
• See also DV-related messages on page 97 if you
encounter an error while using the DV IN/OUT jack.
Frequently Asked Questions

then switch back on.

Playing your recordings on other DVD
players
VR mode Video mode
Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs
recorded in Video mode. A number of players (including
many Pioneer models) can also play DVD-RW discs
recorded in VR mode, finalized or not. Check the manual
that came with the player to check what kinds of discs it
will play.
When you finalize a Video mode disc, a title menu is
created from which you can select titles when you play
the disc. There are a number of different styles of title
menu to choose from to suit the content of the disc.
All the title menus are navigated in the usual way,
pressing MENU or TOP MENU to display the menu, then
using the (cursor buttons) followed by
ENTER to select titles and start playback.
Finalizing a disc
VR mode Video mode
Finalizing 'fixes' the recordings in place so that the disc
can be played on a regular DVD player or computer
equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.
Note that the disc name will appear in the title menu after
you finalize a disc. Make sure the disc name is as you
want it before you finalize the disc as it can't be changed
afterwards. If you want to rename the disc, see Input Disc
Name on page 72 before starting the steps below.
Important
• Once you've finalized a disc recorded in Video mode,
you can't edit or record anything else on that disc.
However, the finalization on a DVD-RW disc maybe
'undone'; see Undo Finalize on page 73 for how to do
this.
• A VR mode disc can still be recorded and edited on
this recorder even after finalizing.
1 Load the disc you want to finalize.
Make sure that the recorder is stopped before
proceeding.
