How to use the DVD
Recorder-VCR
Step 1 Select the disc type
Step 2 Format the disc to start recording
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.
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
format (VR mode). You can edit recorded images and create
a playlist in a specific sequence according to your require-
ments.
Using a DVD-RW
This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video for-
mat (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 finalised.
„ You can only use one format on a DVD-RW.
„ You can change the DVD-RW format to anoth-
er format. It should be noted that the data of
the disc may be lost when changing formats.
