Step 2
Format the disc to start recording
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
image and create a playlist and edit images in a specific
sequence according to your requirements.
Using a DVD-RW
This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video
format (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format
(VR mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks
whether to initialize 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 discs on various DVD
components only when they have been finalized.
■
You can only use either the VR or
Video mode on a DVD-RW, but not
both at the same time.
■
You can change the DVD-RW format
to another format by reinitializing.
It should be noted that the disc's data
will be lost when changing formats.
