Safe Record
Normally a recording is made at the current disc position. This is the same as for a
video cassette, in the middle of the tape for example. By holding down the
REC S
button, the recording will be made at the end of all the other recordings to avoid over-
writing previous recordings.
New recordings on DVD+R discs are always added after all existing recordings.
Index Picture Screen
This screen tells you what’s on the disc. Each index screen represents a recording. On
the right hand side of the screen you can also see a disc indicator that shows the posi-
tion and length of the current recording on the disc in a graphic format. You can
choose and make your own index pictures from the title in playback.
EDIT
DVD makes it so easy to delete titles, split titles, insert chapters automatically and
manual, and do many more things. It enables you to simply delete commercials and
unwanted scenes.
Many Playable Disc Types The following types of disc are supported: DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD, SVCD,
VCD, CD-R, and CD-RW.
Your DVD recorder can play back pre-recorded DVDs and CDs. DVDs recorded using
this DVD recorder can be played back on current and future DVD players.
MP3-CD
PLAYBACK
MP3 files are highly compressed music files. The data is compressed to 1/10 of the vol-
ume of the original audio material using a special process. This means that 10 hours of
music can be stored on a single CD.
These music CDs can be played on this machine.
ID3 Tag
When playing MP3, your DVD recorder will display on TV the name of the albums,
tracks, and artists if ID3 Tag information is recorded on the disc.
This connector is also known as a “FireWire” or “IEEE 1394”. This connector is used
to transmit wide digital broadband signals that are used for digital video camcorders.
Using this connector, you can so easily capture and save video onto DVD from your
digital video camera.
