Step 2 Format the disc to start recording
Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts format-
ting when an unused disc is inserted. This is required
for the preparation of recording on a disc.
Using a DVD-RAM
This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video
Recording format (VR mode). You can edit recorded
image and create a playlist and edit images in a
specific sequence according to your requirements.
Using a DVD-RW
This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video
format (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format
(VR mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks
whether to format in VR Mode or not is displayed.
You can play a Video mode disc on various DVD com-
ponents. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing.
Using a DVD-R
This type of disc can be formatted in DVD Video
format. After formatting is complete, you can record on
the disc. You can play this type of discs on various
DVD components only when they have been finalised.
■ You can only use one format on a
DVD-RW.
■ You can change the DVD-RW for-
mat to another format. It should be
noted that the data of the disc may
be lost when changing formats.
