How to use the HDD & DVD Recorder
Step 1 : Select the disc type or HDD
Please check available disc type before recording.
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. You can record fi les directly to the built-in HDD
or edit a recorded fi le.
Step 2 : Format the disc to start recording
Unlike a VCR, the HDD & DVD Recorder starts formatting
when an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the
preparation of recording on a disc.
Using the HDD
Formatting unnecessary.
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
This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video
format (V mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR
mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks whether to
initialise a disc or not. If you select "DVD-VR" or "DVD-V",
initialising will be started. You can play a Video mode disc
on various DVD components. A VR mode disc allows more
varied editing.
