How good is the quality of the recording?
There are five quality levels to choose from, ranging from HQ
(High Quality), which is near DVD quality to SLP (Standard Long
Play), which is near VHS quality. Choose the quality level that
best suits your purpose and the length of your material.
How many times can I record on a DVD+RW?
Most disc manufacturers specify that you can record up to 1,000
times.
What is the basic DVD recording process?
The basic recording process is to load a blank DVD+R or
DVD+RW disc, switch the DVD Recorder to Live mode, choose
the input source you wish to record, set the record quality, and
press RECORD.
Will my DVDs be compatible in other players?
Yes. If you finalize the DVD it will be compatible with virtually
all new DVD players.
How do I hide commercials on my recorded shows?
The Hide and Show Chapter features are useful for hiding com-
mercials or unwanted footage from your recordings. Simply create
a new Chapter at the start of a commercial break, for example, and
create another Chapter at the end of the commercial grouping. You
can then Hide the commercial break during playback.
What is the difference between hiding a Chapter and
removing a Chapter?
Chapters are similar to bookmarks. When you hide a Chapter, the
bookmark is still there, but you don’t see the Chapter during play-
back. When you remove a Chapter, it is like removing the book-
mark. The contents of the disc are still there, but the bookmark has
been removed.
What are thumbnails? How do I create new thumb-
nails?
Thumbnails are single frames from your recordings used to iden-
tify each Title on the DVD+R/+RW disc menu. The DVD
Recorder allows you to create new thumbnails to represent the
shows you record.
What does the Auto Chapter feature do?
The Auto Chapter feature creates Chapters automatically every 5
minutes while you are recording. This makes it easy to browse the
Title later using the Next and Prev buttons.
How do I switch between playing and recording?
The DVD Recorder has two basic modes: Disc mode and Live
mode. To switch between these modes, press the Disc/Live button
on the remote control. Use Disc mode to play or edit discs. Use
Live mode to watch or record from TV or an external source (such
as a VCR, camcorder, satellite receiver, etc.) connected to the
front (Line 1) or rear (Line 2) audio/video inputs.
Can I copy a DVD from an external player?
Yes, but only if the DVD is not copy protected.
Can I copy a VHS tape from an external player?
Yes, but only if the VHS tape is not copy protected.
Can I copy from a camcorder?
Yes, you can copy from a camcorder or any external audio/video
device using the front or rear line inputs.
