Step 3 Recording
There are two different recording methods, Direct
Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
classified as recording type: Once, Daily or Weekly or
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. DVD-R/DVD-RW
discs (in Video mode) can automatically create
chapters according to the recording mode when
finalised.

Step 5 Editing a recorded disc
Editing on discs is easier than conventional video
tapes. The recorder supports many different edit
functions, possible only with DVDs.
With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate
various edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename,
lock, etc., on a recorded title.
Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/-RW in VR mode)
With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on
the same disc and edit it without the change of the
original recording.
Finalising & Playing on
Step 6
other DVD components
To play your DVD on other DVD components,
finalising may be necessary. First, finish all editing and
recording operations, then finalise the disc.
When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode
Although finalising is generally unnecessary when
playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible
component, a finalised disc should be used for
playback on that type of component.
When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode
The disc should be finalised first to enable playback
on anything other than this recorder. No more editing
or recording can be made on the disc once it has
been finalised.
When using a DVD-R disc
You should finalise the disc to play it on a component
other than this recorder.You cannot edit or record on
the disc once it has been finalised.
