Manual

English

What kind of disc should I use for

recording?

You can only record on a DVD-R，DVD+R，

DVD-RW ，DVD+RW and DVD+R DL discs.

DVD±R/±RW is the most compatible

recordable DVD format on the market today.

They are fully compatible with most of the

existing DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM

drives in computers.

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 recording mode indicates the number of

hours that will t on a single disc.

What is the difference between

DVD±R and DVD±RW?

DVD±R is “recordable” and DVD±RW is

“erasable” and “rewritable”. 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

repeatedly.

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 one time to this recorder.

– You cannot control this recorder from the

external equipment connected via the

DV IN jack.

Can I copy a VHS tape or DVD

from an external player?

Yes, but only if the VHS tape or DVD is not

copy protected.

What are Titles and Chapters?

A DVD disc contains Titles and Chapters,

which are similar to the Titles and Chapters of

a book. A Title is often a complete movie and

is broken down into Chapters, or individual

scenes from the movies.

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 up Titles and Chapters?

The DVD recorder automatically creates a

new Title every time you start a new

recording. You can then add Chapters to these

recordings manually or have them

automatically inserted at 5-minute intervals.

What does “nalizing” a disc do?

Finalizing a disc locks the disc so it can no

longer be recorded and is only required for

DVD±R/+R DL. It will then be compatible with

virtually any DVD player. To close a disc

without nalizing 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 material.

Can I repair scratches on a DVD myself? Verified

Scratches prevent de laser from reading the disc correctly. When the scratches are only superficial it is possible to repair them yourself by polishing the disc with a slightly abrasive compound. Ideally you use a professional abrasive compound but it’s also possible to use regular toothpaste. After polishing the disc it needs to be washed and let to dry. There are specialised businesses that can do this.
