This recorder is equipped with a built-in HDD. Conventional video cassette recorders have required
tapes to record, while this recorder enables recording on the HDD whenever you want, without
selecting an available tape or confirming its recording time or tape remaining.
Further, the DVD-RAM drive on this recorder can record on a DVD-RAM/RW/R disc in the same way as
a tape. You can also copy contents recorded on the HDD to a DVD-RAM/RW/R disc to create your
own library.
