Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of disc should I use for
recording?
You can only record on a DVD+R/+RW disc.
DVD+R/+RW is the most compatible
recordable DVD format on the market today.
They are fully compatible to most of the
existing DVD-Video player's and DVD-ROM
drives in computers.
What are Titles and Chapters?
A DVD disc containsTitles and Chapters,
which are similar to the Titles and Chapters of
a book. ATide is often a complete movie and
is broken down into Chapters, or individual
sceees from the movies.
What is the capacity of a
DVD+R/+RW disc?
4.7GB, or equivalent to 6CDs. You can store
only one hour of recordings on a single disc at
the highest quality (DVD standard) and about
6 hours recordings at the lowest quality (VHS
standard.)
The hour mode indicates the number of hours
that will fit on a single disc. The higher the
recording mode, the greater space disc
required.
What is the difference between
DVD+R/and DVD+RW?
DVD+R are "recordables" and DVD+RW are
"rewritables." With a DVD+R, you can record
multiple sessions on the same disc, but when
the disc is full, you cannot record any more on
the disc. The DVD+RW allows you to record
over the same disc literally hundreds of times.
What is DV?
Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can
connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this
recorder using a single DV cable for input and
output of audio, video, data and control signals.
- This recorder is only compatible with
DV-format (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital
satellite tuners and Digital VHS video
recorders are not compatible.
- You cannot connect more than one DV
camcorder at a time to this recordert
- You cannot control this recorder from
external equipment connected via the DV IN
jack.
chapter markers
Programs are recorded as a single title, it may
consist of one chapter or a few chapters
within a title, depending on the recording
settings.
How do I set upTitles and Chapters?
The DVD recorder automatically creates a
newTitle every time you start a new recording.
You can then add Chapters to these recordings
manually or have them automatically inserted
at 5_minutes intervals.
What does "finalizing" a disc do?
Finalizing a disc locks the disc so it can no
longer be recorded, only required for DVD+R.
It will then be compatible with virtually any
DVD playert To close a disc without finalizing it,
simply stop recording and eject the disc. you
will still be able to record on the disc if there
is room for more recordings.
How good is the quality of the
recording?
There are a few quality levels to choose from,
ranging from"1 hour mode" (High Quality) to
"6 hours mode" (VHS quality). Press REC
MODE button on the remote control to
choose the quality level that best suits your
purpose and the length of recording.
Can I copy aVHS tape or DVD from
an external player?
Yes,but only if theVHS tape or DVD is not
copy protected.

sound disruptions, picture distortions.) To
avoid these problems, discs should be
cleaned on a regular basis.
