How to use the DVD

Recorder

Step 1

Select the disc type

This DVD Recorder 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

rewritable DVD-RW type disc.

If you want to save recording without any change,

choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.

Before reading the user’s

manual

Make sure to check the following terms before

reading the user’s manual.

Step 2

Format the disc to start recording

Unlike a VCR, the DVD Recorder automatically starts

formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is

required for the preparation of recording on a disc.

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

Formatting a disc is unnecessary and only Video

Mode Recording is supported. You can play this type

of discs on various DVD components only when they

have been finalised.

■

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.
