What kind of disc should I use for
recording?
You can only record on both DVD±R,DVD+R/
DL and DVD±RW discs. DVD±R/±RW is the
most compatible recordable DVD format on
the market today. They are fully compatible to
most of the existing DVD-Video players and
DVD-ROM drives in computers.
What is the capacity of a
DVD recordable disc?
.7GB, or equivalent to 6 CDs. You can store
only one hour of recordings on a single disc at
the highest quality (HQ High Quality) and
about 6 hours recordings at the lowest quality
(SLP Super Extended Play.)
The mode of record quality indicates the
number of hours that will fit on a single disc.
What is the difference between
DVD±R and DVD±RW?
DVD±Rs are "recordable" discs and
DVD±RWs are "rewritable" discs. With a
DVD±R disc, you can record multiple sessions
on the same disc, but when the disc is full, you
cannot record any more content on the disc.
The DVD±RW disc allows you to record over
the same disc repeatedly.
What is DV?
Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can
connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this
recorder using a single DV cable for input and
output of audio, video, data and control signals.
– This recorder is only compatible with
DV-format (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital
satellite tuners and Digital VHS video
recorders are not compatible.
– You cannot connect more than one DV
camcorder at any one time to this recorder.
– You cannot control this recorder from
external equipment connected via the
DV IN jack.
Can I copy a VHS tape or DVD
from an external player?
Yes, but only if the VHS tape or DVD is not
copy-protected.
What are Titles and Chapters?
A DVD disc contains Titles and Chapters,
which are similar to the Titles and Chapters of
a book. A Title is often a complete movie and
is broken down into Chapters, or individual
scenes from the movies.
Frequently Asked Questions
A program is recorded as a single title, it may
consist of one chapter or a few chapters
within a title, depending on the recording
settings.
How do I set up Titles and Chapters?
The recorder will automatically create a new
Title each time you start a new recording.
– For DVD recordings, you can edit chapters
manually.
– For HDD recordings, you can preset
chapters to be automatically inserted at
5/10/20/30-minutes intervals.
What does "finalizing" a disc do?
Finalizing a disc locks the disc so it can no
longer be recorded, only required for
DVD±R/-RW/+R DLs. It will then be
compatible with virtually any DVD player. To
close a disc without finalizing it, simply stop
recording and eject the disc. You will still be
able to record on the disc if there is capacity
for more recordings.
How good is the quality of the
recording?
There are six modes of record quality levels
to choose from, ranging from "HQ" (1 hour
recording at high quality) to "SLP" (6 hours
recording at Super Long Play quality) on a
recordable DVD. Choose the quality level that
best suits your purpose and the length of
material.
