Features

This unit allows recording of high quality video on
DVD-RAM, the compact and durable digital media with
fast random access. This media also outdoes past tape
formats in ease of operation.

[RAM]

Chasing play
You can watch a program from the start while you are still recording
it.

Simultaneous rec and play
You can record a program while watching one you recorded previ-
ously.

Time Slip
You can jump back to review a piece of action you missed while
recording by pressing the time slip button (can be set between 1
minute and 360 minutes in units of one minute).

Maximum 12 hours on DVD-RAM

Using a double sided, 9.4 GB DVD–RAM allows you to record a
maximum of 12 hours (6 hours continuously).

When using a 4.7 GB DVD-RAM or a DVD-R, you can get 1 hour
recording using the XP high picture quality mode, 2 hours with the
regular SP mode, 4 hours with the long LP mode, and 6 hours with
the extra long EP mode. 

You can also use the FR (Flexible Recording) mode to fit record-
ings efficiently onto the available space on the disc (

page 19).

The FUNCTIONS window shows you most of the
features you can use (

page 41)

The FUNCTIONS window has most of the features and functions
you are likely to use regularly. Just select the icon for the operation
you want to perform.

Make your own DVD-Video

This unit will record onto DVD-R in accordance with DVD video
standards and will yield your very own original DVD video upon
finalization (

page 8).

The encoder system used for recording is called “Hybrid VBR”
which allows high quality recordings.

Exceptional sound quality when recording

Audio is recorded using Dolby Digital stereo, enabling high quality
sound recordings. When recording in XP mode it is possible to use
LPCM (2 channel) to achieve sound recordings of even higher qual-
ity.

Wide ranging compatibility yielding unbeatable
versatility

As well as being able to play DVD-Video movie software, this unit
can also play other types of discs including audio CDs and video
CDs. This means your recorder will be the center of your home
entertainment, from high-end home theater through to CD play.

Progressive Scan

By connecting the component video terminal of this unit to a pro-
gressive scan television it is possible to enjoy the high quality picture
rendered by the progressive scan function.

Fast access to the program you want to watch
(

page 20)

Use the Direct Navigator to find a program you have recorded and
start play.

Play list (

page 21) 

[RAM]

Use play lists to select your favorite scenes and rearrange them to
play in any order you like. Pick out scenes from a music or sports
show and create a collection of your favorite scenes, or take the
images you have shot with a video camera and arrange them into a
movie of your own creation.
