Recording
About DVD recording
Notes:
• This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or
CD-RW discs.
• Our company takes no responsibility for recording
failure due to power outages, defective discs, or
damage to the Recorder.
• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect
playback and/or recording performance. Please take
proper care of your discs.
Disc types
This recorder can play five different kinds of DVD discs:
Pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW,
DVD-R, DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format
for DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD+R discs is always “Video
format”–the same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs.
This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD-R,
DVD+RW, or DVD+R in a regular DVD player. The
DVD-RAM disc format is Video Recording (VR) format.
By default, the DVD-RW disc format is Video Recording
(VR) format, though you can change this to Video
format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase the
contents of the disc.)
Recording modes
If the disc format is Video Recording format, then the
recording mode is VR mode; if the disc format is Video
mode, then the recording mode is Video mode.
Record settings can be changed as required for each
recording and determine the picture quality and how
much space the recording will take up on the disc.
About HDD recording
Recording to the internal hard disk drive (HDD) is
basically similar to recording to a VR mode DVD-RAM
disc. You have the full choice of recording quality
options, including the manual mode, and of course you
can record, erase and re-record as many times as you
like. The capacity of the hard disk drive means that you
can store many hours of video on it, even in the higher
quality recording modes. To help you organize the
contents, the HDD is divided into ten genre. You can
name and use these genres as you like—for example,
you might have a genre for movies, another for TV
shows, and one for camcorder recordings.
Notes:
• The maximum number of titles that can be recorded
on the HDD is 255.
• Using the HDD allows you to record a maximum of
12 hours continuously.
Notes for recording
• Make sure you change the recording format
(Video mode or VR mode) before you record
anything on the disc, See page 22 (Disc Format) for
how to do this.
• Overwrite recording is available.
• The recorder will execute the Menu-
making operation to update the new title and editing
when removing the disc from the recorder. Always
set the recorder to the DVD mode before using the
(OPEN/CLOSE) button to remove the disc.
Notes for recording time
• When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception is
poor or the picture contains interference, the
recording times may be shorter.
• The recording time available may decrease if you
heavily edit a disc.
• The recording times shown are not exact because
the recorder uses variable bit-rate video compression
so the displayed times for recording and time
remaining may not always add up to exactly the
length of the disc.
• If you record still pictures or audio only, the recording
time may be longer.
• When using a DVD-R or DVD+R disc, you can keep
recording until the disc is full, or until you finalize the
disc. Before you start a recording session, check the
amount of recording time left on the disc.
• When using a DVD-RW disc in Video mode,
recording time available will only increase if you
erase the last title recorded on the disc.
• The Delete Title operation in the Title List (Original)
menu only hides the title, it does not actually erase
the title from the disc and increase the recording time
available (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-
RW disc in Video mode).
Recording time and picture quality
There are four preset recording quality modes:
• XP – Highest quality setting, gives about 1 hour of
recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).
• SP – Default quality, sufficient for most applications,
gives about 2 hours of recording time on a DVD
(4.7GB).
• LP – Slightly lower video quality, gives about 4 hour
of recording time on a DVD disc (4.7GB).
• EP – Lowest video quality, gives about 6 hour of
recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).
You may see a fragmented picture during playing
back the contents recorded in EP mode.
