How to use the DVD Recorder
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 the recording without making any 
changes, choose a non-rewritable DVD±R.
Step 2 : Format the disc to start recording
The recorder automatically starts formatting when an 
unused disc is inserted. This is required for the preparation 
of disc recording.
Using a DVD-RAM
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 specifi c sequence 
according to your requirements.
Using a DVD±RW/+R
•  When an unused DVD±RW/+R disc is fi rst inserted, the 
message “Uninitialized Disc. Do you want to initialize this 
disc?” will be displayed.
If you select Yes, initializing will begin. DVD-RW disc can 
be formatted in either DVD-Video format (Video mode) 
or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode)
•  There are no differences between DVD-Video format 
(Video mode) and DVD-Video Recording format (VR 
mode) with DVD+RW discs.
Using a DVD-R
When using a DVD-R disc, only V mode recording is 
possible and no initialization is needed to play it on this 
recorder. However, fi nalization is necessary to play this 
disc on other DVD players.
  You can only use either the VR or Video mode on 
a DVD-RW, but not both at the same time.
  You can format a DVD-RW to V or VR mode using 
disc manager. 
It should be noted that the discs data will be lost 
when changing formats.
Step 3 : Recording
There are two different recording methods. Direct Recording 
(recording a program you are currently watching) and 
Timer Recording. Timer recording is determined as a Date : 
MM/DD, MON-FRI, Every SAT, etc.. There are 5 recording 
modes : XP(high quality mode), SP(standard quality mode), 
LP(long recording mode), EP(extended mode) and FR 
mode. When using FR mode to record, the picture quality is 
determined by the remaining time on the disc.

Step 4 : Playing
To start playback select the title you want to play from the 
Title list.
A DVD consists of sections called titles, and sub sections 
called chapters. 
During recording, a title is created between two points 
where you start and stop recording. Chapters will be 
created automatically when you fi nalize recording on 
DVD-R/DVD-RW discs in Video mode.
You can make your own chapters on DVD+RWs and 
edit them using the Chapter Edit menu. The chapter’s 
length (interval between chapters) varies according to the 
recording mode.
Step 5 : Editing a recorded disc
Editing on discs is easier than editing on conventional 
video tapes. The recorder supports many different edit 
functions, possible only with DVDs. 
With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate various 
edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename, lock, etc., on 
a recorded title.
With this recorder, you can create playlists using a DVD-
RAM/DVD-RW in VR mode. Once a playlist is created you 
can create/edit a new playlist on the same disc without 
changing the original recording.
  Step 6 : Finalizing & Playing on other 
DVD components
To play your DVD on other DVD components, fi nalizing 
may be necessary. First, fi nish all editing and recording 
operations, then fi nalize the disc.
When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode
Although fi nalizing is generally unnecessary when playing 
the disc on a VR Mode compatible component, a fi nalized 
disc should be used for playback.
When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode
The disc should be fi nalized fi rst to enable playback 
on anything other than this recorder. No more editing 
or recording can be made on the disc once it has been 
fi nalized.
When using a DVD±R disc
You should fi nalize the disc to play it on a component 
other than this recorder. No more editing or recording can 
be made on the disc once it has been fi nalized.
  You can fi nalize automatically using the EZ REC 
MODE. (See page 46)
