• When an unused DVD±RW/+R disc is first inserted, the message "Uninitialized Disc. Do you want to initialize this disc?" will be displayed.
  If you select Yes, initializing will be start. DVD-RW disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode)
• With DVD+RW discs, there is no difference between DVD-Video format (Video mode) and DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode).

Using a DVD-R

Initializing disc is unnecessary and only V mode Recording is supported. You can play this type of disc on various DVD components only when they have been finalized.

Note

■ You can only use either the VR or Video mode on a DVD-RW, but not both at the same time.
■ You can format a DVD-RW to V or VR mode using disc manager. 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, Daily or Weekly. Recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP (extended mode).

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 finalize recording on DVD-R / DVD-RW discs in Video mode.

You can make your own chapters on DVD+RWs and edit them using the Chapter Edit menu.

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 changing the original recording.

Step 6

Finalizing & Playing on other DVD components

To play your DVD on other DVD players, finalizing may be necessary. First, finish all editing and recording operations, then finalize the disc.

When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode

Although finalizing is generally unnecessary when playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible component, a finalized disc should be used for playback.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode

The disc should be finalized 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 finalized.

When using a DVD±R disc

You should finalize the disc to play it on a component other than this recorder. You cannot edit or record on the disc once it has been finalized.

	Copy-Free	Copy-Once	Copy-Never
DVD-RW(Ver.1.1)	O	-	-
DVD-RW(Ver.1.1) with CPRM VR mode	O	O*	-
DVD-R	O	-	-
DVD-RAM(Ver.2.0)	O	O*	-
DVD+R	O	-	-
DVD+RW	O	-	-

Once “Copy Once” has been recorded, additional recording cannot be performed.

* compatible with CPRM.

- 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(Burst Cutting Area). 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.

Recording the Current Channel you are watching
