How to use the DVD
Recorder
Step 1
Select the disc type
Step 2
Format the disc to start recording
This unit can record on the following types of discs.
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 recording without any change,

formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is
required for the preparation of disc recording.

This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video
Recording format (VR mode). You can edit
recorded video and create a playlist and edit video
in a specific sequence according to your
requirements.
Using a DVD±RW/+R
•
When an unused DVD
±
RW/+R disc is first inserted,
the message “Uninitialized Disc. Do you want to
initialize this disc?” will be displayed.
If you select Yes, initializing will be start. DVD-RW
disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format
(Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR
mode)
•
With DVD+RW discs have no difference between
DVD-Video format (Video mode) and DVD-Video
Recording format (VR mode).
Using a DVD-R
Initializing disc is unnecessary and only V mode
Recording is supported. You can play this type of disc
on various DVD components only when they have
been finalized.
