How to use the DVD Recorder Step 1 Select the disc type This unit can record on the following types of discs. If you want to repeatedly record on the same disc or you want to edit the disc after recording, select a rewritable DVD-RW type disc. If you want to save recording without any change, choose a non-rewritable DVD-R. Step 2 Format the disc to start recording Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the preparation of disc recording. Using a DVD-RW This type of disc can be formatted in either DVDVideo format (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks whether to initialize or not is displayed. You can play a Video mode disc in standard DVD players. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing. 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. NOTE I You can only use either the VR or Video mode on a DVD-RW, but not both at the same time. I You can change the DVD-RW format to another format by reinitializing. It should be noted that the disc's data will be lost when changing formats. English - 9 Getting Started
