:: DVD Recording FAQ
Before you start using the R6530, please take a few moments to review these Frequently Asked Questions. They will help you become
acquainted with the technology and the capabilities of the DVD Recorder:
What can I record with my DVD recorder?
You can record programs directly from television (from your
antenna, basic cable, cable box or satellite receiver) and from vir-
tually any external audio/video source, including camcorders,
VCRs, DVD players and more. This unit will not copy Macrovi-
sion encoded or other copy protected material.
What kind of discs should I use?
You can only record on DVD+R and DVD+RW discs. DVD+R/
+RW is the most compatible recordable DVD format on the mar-
ket today. They are fully compatible with over 95% of existing
DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives in computers.
What is the capacity of a DVD+R and DVD+RW disc?
4.7GB, or the equivalent of roughly 6 CDs. You can record about
one hour at the highest quality (HQ) and about six hours at the
lowest quality (SLP) on a single disc.
What is the difference between DVD+R and
DVD+RW?
DVD+R is “recordable” and DVD+RW is “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 format allows you to record over the same disc literally
hundreds of times.
What is DVD-R and DVD-RW? Are they compatible
with this recorder?
DVD-R and DVD-RW (written with a dash instead of a plus) are
competing recordable DVD formats. You can play DVD-R/-RW
discs on this player, but they are not compatible for recording pur-
poses.
How do I know how much space is left on my disc
for recording?
Load the disc and press Disc Menu to see the percentage of
recording time remaining on your disc.
Where do I purchase discs? Are they expensive?
Blank DVD+R and DVD+RW discs are available at most elec-
tronics and office supply stores. Prices vary but DVD+Rs can gen-
erally be purchased in bulk for less than $1 each.
What format is the DVD recording saved in?
The actual video files are saved in MPEG-2 format.
Can I record in "real time"? Is there a recording
buffer?
Yes, you can record from TV or from external video sources to the
DVD recorder in real time.
Do I need to format a disc in order to record?
If a disc needs to be formatted, the DVD recorder will do it for
you automatically when you load the disc. This takes about a
minute and does not require any action on your part.
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
movie. If a disc contains multiple Titles, they can be accessed by
pressing the Title button. To view the contents of a particular Title,
press the Disc Menu button.
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-
minute intervals.
What does "finalizing" a disc do?
Finalizing a disc locks the discs so it can no longer be recorded. It
will then be compatible with virtually any DVD player. To close a
disc without finalizing it, simply stop recording and eject the disc.
You will still be able to record on the disc if there is room for more
recordings.
