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.
Note: 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

The recording times shown are not exact because the recorder uses variable bit-rate video compression. This means that the exact recording time will depend on the material being recorded. When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception is poor or the picture contains interference, the recording times may be shorter. If you record still pictures or audio only, the recording time may be longer. The displayed times for recording and time remaining may not always add up to exactly the length of the disc. The recording time available may decrease if you heavily edit a disc. If using a DVD-RW disc, make sure you change the recording format (Video mode or VR mode) before you record anything on the disc. See page 21 (Disc Format) for how to do this. 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 option 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). Overwrite recording is available using DVD+RW discs. When using a DVD+R/RW, the recorder will execute the Menu-making operation to update the new title and editing when removing the disc from the recorder or turn off the recorder. So you must remove the disc after selecting the recorders operation mode to DVD mode.
Disc types and recording formats, modes, and settings
This recorder can play five different kinds of DVD discs: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RAM, DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format for DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW discs is always Video formatthe same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD-R, DVD+R, or DVD+RW in a regular DVD player. The DVD-RAM disc format is Video Recording (VR) format. By default, the DVD-RW disc format is Video format, though you can change this to Video Recording (VR) format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase the contents of the disc.) The recording mode is closely related to the disc format. 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 (except for DVD-Video, which is not recordable, and so does not have a recording mode). Within the recording modes (which are fixed for them whole disc) are the record settings. These 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.

Checking Timer Recording Details
Programming can be checked whenever the recorder is turned on. Press TIMER REC twice. Use v / V to select a timer recording. Press ENTER to edit the selected program. Timer Record menu appears. Press CLEAR to delete the selected program from the Timer Record List.

Notes: Playback cannot be started until 15 seconds after recording starts. This function does not work in DVD recording mode.

Editing

Title List and Chapter List Menu Overview
Using the Title List menu you can edit video content. The editing features available in the Title List menu depend on whether you are editing video on DVD, or the HDD, and whether youre editing Original content, or a Playlist. There are two ways to edit VR mode DVD-RW discs. You can directly edit the Original content of the disc, or you can create and edit a Playlist. The Playlist doesnt actually change any of the content on the disc, but just controls how the content is played back. Editing material recorded on the HDD is similar to editing the Original content of a VR mode DVD-RW, with similar commands for erasing and naming titles, as well as fine control over the content of chapters within titles for DVD disc. Note: During recording, if you display the Title List menu for the HDD, some of the titles may appear with a mark. These titles were recorded with a Line Input setting different to the current setting of the recorder. During recording, these titles cannot be played. 1. Press MENU/LIST to display the Title List menu. Playback should be stopped when you do this. You can also access it using HOME menu, select [MOVIE] option then select [HDD] or [DVD] option and press ENTER. When selecting titles, use the v / V buttons to display the previous/next page if there are more than six titles. If you are editing a VR mode disc, press MENU/LIST to switch between Original and Playlist menu. On the left side of the screen are the menu options. The main part of the screen shows thumbnails of the titles (or chapter) on the DVD or HDD. You can change these thumbnails using the THUMBNAIL buttonsee Changing Title Thumbnails on page 44. Press DISPLAY to display the information of selected title on the Title List menu. After selecting a title or chapter on the Title List or Chapter List menu, then press ENTER. The menu options appears on the left side of the menu. Use v / V to select a option then press ENTER to confirm your selection. 2. To exit the Title List menu, press RETURN (O) repeatedly.

Adding Chapter Markers

HDD -RWVR RAM +RW +R
You can create chapters within a title by inserting chapter marks at the desired points. Note: Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals automatically. You can change this interval from the Initial Setup menu (see Auto Chapter on page 21). During recording or playing back, at the point you want to start a new chapter, press CHP ADD. A chapter marker icon appears on the TV screen.
Changing Title Thumbnails
Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?
No. When you edit a video tape you need one video deck to play the original tape and another to record the edits. With DVD, you edit by making a Playlist of what to play and when to play it. On playback, the Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.
Each title displayed in the Title List menu is represented by a thumbnail picture taken from the start of that title or chapter. If you prefer, select a different still picture from within a title. Press THUMBNAIL to make the currently displayed picture the one that appears in the Title List menu. The still picture that you choose appears in both the Original or Playlist menu. Tip: You can also change the thumbnail picture of the title on the Chapter List menu. Select a chapter on the Chapter List menu then press THUMBNAIL. The thumbnail picture of the title that includes the chapter is changed.
About word Original and Playlist
