choose a non-rewritable DVD_+R.
Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts format-
ting when an unused disc is inserted. This is required
for the preparation of recording on a disc.
Using a DVD=RAM
This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video
Recording format (VR mode). You can edit recorded
images and create a playlist in a specific sequence
according to your requirements.
Using a DVD_+RW/+R
• When an unused DVD_+RW/+R disc is first inserted,
the message "Uninitialized Disc. De you want to ini-
tialize this disc?" will be displayed.
If you select Yes, initializing will be start. DVD-RW
disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format
(Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR
mode)
• With DVD+RW discs, there is no difference between
DVD-Video format (Video mode) and DVD-Video
Recording format (VR mode).
Using a DVD-R
Initializing disc is unnecessary and only V mode
Recording is supported. You can play this type of disc
on various DVD components only when they have
been finalized.
g You can only use either the VR or Video
mode on a DVD-RW, but not both at the
same time.
g You can format a DVD-RW to V or VR
mode using disc manager.
It should be noted that the disc's data will
be lost when changing formats.
There are two different recording methods: Direct
Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
classified as a Date : Once, Daily or Weekly.
Recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (stan-
dard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and
EP (extended mode).
You can select the title you want to play in a displayed
menu and then immediately start playback.
A DVD consists of sections called titles, and sub sec-
tions called chapters.
During recording, a title is created between two points
where you start and stop recording. Chapters will be
created automatically when you finalize 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.
Editing on discs is easier than conventional video
tapes. The recorder supports many different edit func-
tions, 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.
Creating a playlist (DVD=RAM/-RW in VR mode)
With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on
the same disc and edit it without changing the
original recording.

To play your DVD on other DVD players, finalizing
may be necessary. First, finish all editing and record-
ing operations, then finalize the disc.
When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode
Although finalizing is generally unnecessary when
playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible compo-
nent, a finalized disc should be used for playback.
When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode
The disc should be finalized first to enable playback
on anything other than this recorder. No more editing
or recording can be made on the disc once it has
been finalized.
When using a DVD±R disc
You should finalize the disc to play it on a component
other than this recorder. You cannot edit or record on
the disc once it has been finalized.

Concerning Copy Control Signals
TV broadcasts that contain copy control signals may have
one of the following three signal types, Copy-Free, Copy-
Once and Copy-Never. If you want to record a copy-once

cannot be performed.
* compatible with CPRM.
- Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM)
CPRM is a mechanism that ties a recording to the
media on which it is recorded. It is supported by some
DVD recorders, but not by many DVD players. Each
blank recordable DVD has a unique 64-bit media ID
etched in the BCA(Burst Cutting Area). When protected
content is recorded onto the disc, it can be encrypted
with a 56-bit C2 (Cryptomeria) cipher derived from the
media ID. During playback, the ID is read from the BCA
and used to generate a key to decrypt the contents of
the disc. If the contents of the disc are copied to other
media, the ID will be absent or wrong and the data will
not be decryptable.
1. Check to make sure the antenna cable is connected.
2. Check the remaining time on the disc.
DVD-RAM/DVD_+RW/+R discs should be formatted or
initialized in advance before beginning recording.
