Step 3 : Recording
There are two diff erent recording methods, Direct
Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
classifi ed as follows:
Recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (standard
quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP
(extended mode) according to the recording mode.
When recording is set in the FR mode, the best quality
picture is recorded with regards to the remaining time on
the disc.
Step 4 : Playing
You can select the title you want to play in a displayed
menu and then immediately start playback.
A DVD consists of sections, called titles, and sub-
sections, called chapters.
During recording, a title is created between two points
where you start and stop recording.
Chapters will be created automatically when you fi nalise
recording on DVD-RW/-R discs in Video mode.
The chapter's length (interval between chapters) varies
according to the recording mode.
Step 5 : Editing a recorded disc
Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes.
The HDD & DVD Recorder supports many diff erent edit
functions, possible only with DVDs and HDD.
With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate
various edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename, lock,
etc., on a recorded title.

playlist on a disc and edit it without the original, pre-
existing recording.
Step 6 : Finalising & Playing on other
DVD components
