Recording

Recording to DVD Discs

With DVD+PdRW recording, you can create your own DVDs from your home movies, favorite TV shows or from other

video sources. DVD+RW

Think of DVD+RW (DVD+ReWritable) discs as the

digital equivalent of your old VHS tapes. Like video tape,

DVD+RW discs can be recorded to, erased and re-used.

But unlike video tape, DVD+RW discs will retain their

crystaPcbar digital quality even after being erased and

re-recorded over 1000 times! And, this superior quality

will not degrade with the passage of time like VHS

tapes.

Recording- Rear mnput Connections

A lower-cost alternative to DVD+RW, these "Recordable"

discs cannot be erased. Once a recording is made to a

DVD+R disc, the disc space used by that recording can

never be reclaimed. DVD+R discs must be Finalized

before they can be played back on standard DVD

Players, and once this process is complete, no more

recordings can be added. This is an important difference

between DVD+R and DVD+RW Discs.

REAR RECORDING INPUTS -There are (2) recording source inputs on the back panel, (!) S-VIDEO (referred to as

"S-VIDEO 1") and (1) Composite Video (referred to as "VIDEO 1"). Note that both of these video inputs share the

same stereo audio input.

Selecting an mnput Source

You can easily select theAV input on this unit.

Connect the desired AV input source.

Press SOURCE and use the 3 /4 keys to select
