HOW TO USE THE HDD & DVD RECORDER
Step 1: Select the disc type or HDD
Please check available disc type before recording.
If you want to repeatedly record on the same disc or you want to edit the disc after recording, select a
rewritable DVD-RW or DVD-RAM type disc. If you want to save a recording without any changes, choose a
non-rewritable DVD-R. You can record fi les directly to the built-in HDD or edit a recorded fi le.
Step 2: Format the disc to start recording
Unlike a VCR, the HDD & DVD RECORDER automatically starts formatting when an unused disc is inserted.
This is required for the preparation of recording on a disc.
Using the HDD
Formatting unnecessary.
Using a DVD-RAM
This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). You can edit recorded images
and create a playlist in a specifi c sequence according to your requirements.
Using a DVD-RW
This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format (V mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR
mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks whether to initialize a disc or not. If you select
“DVD-VR” or “DVD-V”, initialising will be started.
You can play a Video mode disc on various DVD components. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing.
Using a DVD-R
Formatting disc is unnecessary and only V Mode Recording is supported. You can play these types of discs
on various DVD components only when they have been fi nalised.
