How to use the DVD Recorder
Step 1 Select the disc type
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 rewritesable DVD-RW or DVD-RAM type disc. If you want to save recording without any change, choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.

RAM

RW

R
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 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 discs on various DVD components only when they have been finalised.

NOTE
- 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.
Step 3 Recording
There are two different recording methods, Direct Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is classified as a Date : Once(dd/mm(MON)), Every Day, MON-SAT, MON-FRI, Every SAT, etc. 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 finalise recording on DVD-R / DVD-RW 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 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.
Step 6 Finalising & Playing on 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.
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.

Concerning Copy Control Signals
TV broadcasts that contain copy control signals may have one of the following three signal types, Copy-Free, Copy-Once and Copy-Never. If you want to record a copy-once type programme, use DVD-RW with CPRM in VR Mode and DVD-RAM.
| Media\Signal type | Copy-Free | Copy-Once | Copy-Never |
| DVD-RW(Ver.1.1) | O | - | - |
| DVD-RW(Ver.1.1) with CPRM | |||
| VR mode | O | \( O^* \) | - |
| Video mode | O | - | |
| DVD-R | O | - | |
| DVD-RAM(Ver.2.0) | O | \( O^* \) | - |
Once "Copy Once" has been recorded, recording cannot be done anymore.
- Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM)
CPRM is a mechanism that ties a recording to the media on which it is recorded. It is supported by some DVD recorders, but not by many DVD players. Each blank recordable DVD has a unique 64-bit media ID etched in the BCA. When protected content is recorded onto the disc, it can be encrypted with a 56-bit C2 (Cryptomeria) cipher derived from the media ID. During playback, the ID is read from the BCA and used to generate a key to decrypt the contents of the disc. If the contents of the disc are copied to other media, the ID will be absent or wrong and the data will not be decryptable.
