Features 1 A new timer recording system: "Easy Recording Guide" • This feature makes timer recording easier. A schedule grid of times and channels is displayed on the screen, and by simply designating cells in the grid with the remote control, timer programming becomes as easy as circling your favorite shows in the newspaper. You can also see at a glance which time slots are already programmed, and avoid any overlap. 2 DVD-RW/R recording/playback with outstanding compatibility • This Recorder is compatible with digital recording on rewritable DVD-RW discs and one-time recordable DVD-R discs. It has two recording formats: "VR (Video Recording) mode" which has a wealth of editing functions, and "Video mode" which can be played back with existing DVD players. This lets you enjoy recording to suit your purpose. 3 High picture quality design 1Progressive scanning playback High-quality, high-density video with no jagged contours and no flicker. 2VBR (Variable Bit Rate) recording Constantly maintains optimal high picture quality by varying the bit rate (amount of video data) for each scene depending on the video content (e.g. whether movement is fast or slow). 4 Comprehensive editing functions (Only titles recorded in VR mode on DVD-RW can be edited.) 1Play list edit This lets you gather only the needed parts (i.e. a "Play List") from a recorded original video (title). You can rearrange scenes and combine them with other scenes, or rearrange titles. 2Chapter edit This lets you divide a title into chapter units during recording/playback or using the edit screen. After dividing, a list of recordings (thumbnails) can be displayed in chapter units, so you can copy and erase to the play list in chapter units. 3Erase scene This lets you erase unnecessary scenes. This is convenient when you want to cut out the commercials in a recorded program. 4Batch erasing of titles/chapters Titles and chapters which become unnecessary after editing can be batch erased by selecting them from the list of recordings (thumbnails). 5Edit undo function*4 If you mistakenly erase data during editing, this function lets you restore it to its immediately preceding state, just like "Undo" on a PC, so you can edit worry-free. *4 Edit undo can only be used once. It only works when "UNDO" is assigned to a colored button (green) displayed on the screen. 6 5 Simple operation and user-friendly design using a new remote control 1START MENU Press START MENU button on the remote control, and display the list of main functions on the screen. After that, you can operate by using the Cursor buttons and SET/ENTER button on the remote control, so this Recorder can be used easily even by a person who is unfamiliar with operation. 2Colored buttons The remote control has colored buttons with four different colors. Functions are displayed in four different colors on the screen, and the Recorder can be operated by directly designating these functions. 3Luminous buttons Luminous buttons are used for key control buttons on the remote control so they are easy to see in the dark. 6 MP3 file playback • This Recorder allows you to playback MP3 files recorded on CD-RW/R. 7 VCR Plus+*5 System • The VCR Plus+ System allows you to program your Recorder for timer recording simply by inputting the PlusCode Programming number. The PlusCode numbers are listed in most newspapers, television guides, and local CATV listings. Simply by inputting this PlusCode number, you can program your Recorder for timer recording, eliminating the need to input program start time, stop time, channel, date and other information which is necessary for ordinary timer programming. *5 VCR Plus+ and PlusCode are registered trademarks of Gemstar Development Corporation.
