Introduction
DVD Recorder
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is the new storage medium
that combines the convenience of the Compact Disc with
the latest advanced digital video technology.
DVD Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression
technology to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch
disc. DVD’s variable bitrate compression, running at up to
9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most complex
pictures in their original quality.
The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal
resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture
elements) to each line. This resolution is more than double
that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely
comparable with digital masters made in recording studios.
DVD recording is the next step in video technology.
DVD+ReWritable (DVD+RW) uses phase-change media,
the same technology that formed the basis for CD-
ReWritable. A high-power laser is used to change the
reflectivity of the recording layer. This process can be
repeated more than a thousand times. DVD+Recordable
(DVD+R) uses discs based on an organic dye, a technology
pioneered with the successful CD-Recordable format, to
produce discs that keep your data for a lifetime.
Your DVD Recorder is a
Recorder
and
player
for digital
video discs, with a
two-way compatibility
to the
universal DVD Video standard. This means that:
- existing
pre-recorded DVD Video
discs can play on
your DVD Recorder and
-
recordings
, made on your DVD Recorder,
can play on most DVD Video players and DVD-ROM
drives.
With it, you will be able to record TV programs or edit
and archive your own video camera recordings.
Superb digital picture and sound quality, quick access to
the tracks you have recorded and extensive playback
features contribute to a completely new video experience.
From now on you will enjoy full-length movies with true
cinema picture quality and stereo or Multi-channel sound
(depending on the disc and on your playback set-up). You
will find your Recorder remarkably easy to use, with the
on-screen display on your TV, the display on the DVD
recorder and remote control.
Cleaning discs
Some problems occur because the disc inside the
Recorder is dirty. To avoid these problems, clean your
discs regularly in the following way:
●
When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning
cloth. Wipe the disc in a straight line from the center
out to the edge.
Caution:
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for analog discs.
Do not use commercially available cleaning discs to
clean the lens, as these discs may damage the
optical unit.
Remote control
Loading the batteries
1
