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
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 for-
mat (VR mode). You can edit recorded images and create a
playlist in a specific sequence according to your requirements.
Using a DVD-RW
This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format
(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.
Using a DVD-R
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 finalized.
You can only use one format on a DVD-RW.
You can change the DVD-RW format to anoth-
Note
er format. It should be noted that the data of
the disc will be lost when changing formats.
