What kind of disc should I use for
recording?
You can only record on DVD±R and
DVD±RW discs. DVD±R/±RW is the most
compatible recordable DVD format on the
market today. They are fully compatible to
most of the existing DVD-Video players and
DVD-ROM drives in computers.
What is the capacity of a DVD±R/±RW
disc?
4.7GB, or equivalent to 6 CDs. You can store
only one hour of recordings on a single disc at
the highest quality (DVD standard) and about
6 hours recordings at the lowest quality
(VHS standard).
The recording mode indicates the number of
hours that will t on a single disc.
What is the difference between DVDvR
and DVD±RW?
DVD±R is “recordable” and DVD±RW is
“erasable” and “rewritable”. With a DVD±R,
you can record multiple sessions on the same
disc, but when the disc is full, you cannot
record any more on the disc. The DVD±RW
allows you to record over the same disc
repeatedly.
Can I copy a VHS tape or DVD from an
external player?
Yes, but only if the VHS tape or DVD is not
copy protected.
What are Titles and Chapters?
A DVD disc contains Titles and Chapters,
which are similar to the Titles and Chapters of
a book. A Title is often a complete movie and
is broken down into Chapters, or individual
scenes from the movies.

Programmes are recorded as a single title, it
may consist of one chapter or a few chapters
within a title, depending on the recording
settings.
How do I set up Titles and Chapters?
The DVD recorder automatically creates a
new Title every time you start a new
recording. You can then add Chapters to these
recordings manually or have them
automatically inserted at 5-minutes intervals.
What does “ nalising” a disc do?
Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no
longer be recorded, only required for DVD±R.
It will then be compatible with virtually any
DVD player. To close a disc without nalising
it, simply stop recording and eject the disc.
You will still be able to record on the disc if
there is storage space for more recordings.
How good is the quality of the
recording?
There are a few picture quality levels to
choose from, ranging from “1 hour mode”
(High Quality) to “6 hours mode” (VHS
quality). Press REC MODE button on the
remote control to choose the quality level that
best suits your purpose and the length of
material.
