How to use the DVD Recorder & VCR
▌ Step 1 : Select the disc type
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 making any changes, choose a non-
rewritable DVD±R.
▌ Step 2 : Format the disc to start recording
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.
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 specifi c sequence
according to your requirements.
Using a DVD±RW/+R
• When an unused DVD±RW/+R disc is fi rst inserted, the
message "Uninitialized Disc. Do you want to initialize this
disc?" will be displayed.
If you select Yes, initializing will be begin. DVD-RW discs
can be formatted in either DVD-Video format (Video
mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode)
• There are no differences between DVD-Video format
(Video mode) and DVD-Video Recording format (VR
mode) with DVD+R discs.
Using a DVD-R
When using a DVD-R disc, only V mode recording is
possible and no initialization is needed to play it on this
recorder. However, fi nalization is necessary to play this
disc on other DVD players.
■ 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 manager.
It should be noted that the disc's data will be lost
when changing formats.
▌ Step 3 : Recording
There are two different recording methods: Direct
Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
determined as a date and recording can be done once,
daily or weekly. There are 4 recording modes : XP (high
quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long
recording mode), and EP (extended mode).
