Features
1
A new timer recording system:
“Easy Recording Guide”
This feature makes timer recording easier. A
schedule grid of times and channels is displayed on
the screen, and by simply designating cells in the
grid with the remote control, timer programming
becomes as easy as circling your favorite shows in
the newspaper. You can also see at a glance which
time slots are already programmed, and avoid any
overlap.
2
DVD-RW/R recording/playback
with outstanding compatibility
This Recorder is compatible with digital recording
on rewritable DVD-RW discs and one-time record-
able DVD-R discs. It has two recording formats: “VR
(Video Recording) mode” which has a wealth of
editing functions, and “Video mode” which can be
played back with existing DVD players. This lets you
enjoy recording to suit your purpose.

High picture quality design
1Progressive scanning playback
High-quality, high-density video with no jagged
contours and no flicker.
2VBR (Variable Bit Rate) recording
Constantly maintains optimal high picture quality by
varying the bit rate (amount of video data) for each
scene depending on the video content (e.g. whether
movement is fast or slow).
4
Comprehensive editing functions
(Only titles recorded in VR mode on DVD-RW
can be edited.)
1Play list edit
This lets you gather only the needed parts (i.e. a “Play
List”) from a recorded original video (title). You can
rearrange scenes and combine them with other
scenes, or rearrange titles.
2Chapter edit
This lets you divide a title into chapter units during
recording/playback or using the edit screen. After
dividing, a list of recordings (thumbnails) can be
displayed in chapter units, so you can copy and
erase to the play list in chapter units.
3Erase scene
This lets you erase unnecessary scenes. This is
convenient when you want to cut out the commer-
cials in a recorded program.
4Batch erasing of titles/chapters
Titles and chapters which become unnecessary
after editing can be batch erased by selecting them
from the list of recordings (thumbnails).
5Edit undo function*
4
If you mistakenly erase data during editing, this
function lets you restore it to its immediately
preceding state, just like “Undo” on a PC, so you
can edit worry-free.

Edit undo can only be used once. It only works when
“UNDO” is assigned to a colored button (green) displayed
on the screen.

The VCR Plus+ System allows you to program your
Recorder for timer recording simply by inputting the
PlusCode Programming number. The PlusCode
numbers are listed in most newspapers, television
guides, and local CATV listings. Simply by inputting
this PlusCode number, you can program your
Recorder for timer recording, eliminating the need
to input program start time, stop time, channel, date
and other information which is necessary for
ordinary timer programming.
