Note
• The quality of recordings may be reduced if a longer
recording time is used.
• If, even on recording level
SEP
, there is insufficient
space available on the disc, the recording is made on
SEP
but recording will stop once the disc is full.
• Optimized Recording only compensates for the first
(earliest starting) timer program if more than one has
been set.
• Unlike other recordings made using this recorder,
the title name of an optimized recording does not
contain the recording mode.
Auto Chapter
• Default setting:
On
On the default setting, a new chapter is started
approximately every 15 minutes.
DVD-RW Auto Init.
• Default setting:
VR Mode
When you load a new, blank DVD-RW disc the recorder
automatically initializes it for recording. You can set it to
initialize the disc for
VR mode
or
Video mode
recording.
Playback settings
Parental Lock
Some DVD-Video discs feature a Parental Lock level. If
the recorder is set to a lower level than the disc, it will
require you to enter a password before the disc will play.
This gives you some control about what your children
watch on your DVD recorder.
Some discs also support the Country/Area code feature.
The recorder does not play certain scenes on these discs
depending on the Country/Area code you set.
Before you can set the Parental Lock level or the Country/
Area code you must set a password. As the password
owner you can change the Parental Lock level or Country/
Area code whenever you like. You can also change the
password.
Note
• Not all discs that you may consider inappropriate for
your children use the Parental Lock feature. These
discs will always play without requiring the password
first.
• If you forget the password, you can reset the recorder
to its factory settings (see
Resetting the recorder
on
page 66), then set a new password.
Set Password
• Default password:
none
The password you set will enable you to change the
Parental Lock level and Country/Area code setting. It is
also the password that you will need to enter if you want
to play a disc with a parental lock level higher than the
recorder.
