How to use the DVD
Recorder & VCR
Step 1
Select the disc type
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 a recording without any changes,
choose a non-rewritable DVD±R.

Format the disc to start recording
Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts format-
ting when an unused disc is inserted. This is required
for the preparation of recording on a disc.
Using a DVD-RAM
This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video
Recording format (VR mode). You can edit recorded
images and create a playlist in a specific sequence
according to your requirements.

When an unused DVD±RW/+R disc is first inserted,
the message "Uninitialized Disc. Do you want to ini-
tialize this disc?" will be displayed.

discs can be formatted in either DVD-Video format
(Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR
mode)

With DVD+RW discs, there is no difference between
DVD-Video format (Video mode) and DVD-Video
Recording format (VR mode).
