What kind of disc should I use for

recording?

You can only record on both DVD±R and

DVD±RW discs. They are compatible with

DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives in

computers.

What is the capacity of a

DVD recordable disc?

4.7GB, or equivalent to 6 CDs. 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).

What is the difference between

DVD±R and DVD±RW?

DVD±Rs are “recordable” discs and

DVD±RWs are “rewritable” discs. With a

DVD±R disc, you can record multiple sessions

on the same disc, but when the disc is full, you

cannot record any more content on the disc.

The DVD±RW disc 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 any one time to this recorder.

– You cannot control this recorder from

external equipment connected via the

DV IN socket.

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.

A programme is 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 recorder will automatically create a new

Title each time you start a new recording.

– For DVD recordings, you can add chapters

manually.

– For HDD recordings, you can preset

chapters to be automatically inserted at

5-minutes intervals.

What does “ nalizing” a disc do?

Finalizing a disc locks the disc so it can no

longer be recorded, only required for

DVD±Rs. 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 capacity for more

recordings.

How good is the quality of the

recording?

There are seven modes of record quality levels

to choose from, ranging from “HQ” (1 hour

recording at high quality) to “SEP” (8 hours

recording at VHS quality) on a recordable

DVD. Choose the quality level that best suits

your purpose and the length of material.
