When a blank, new disc is loaded into this unit, the automatic format function starts to format the disc. (For the disc format setting in this step, see page 27.) VR mode • This mode can be used for DVD-RW. • In this mode, the discs can be recorded and edited repeatedly. • The disc recorded in this mode can be played back with other DVD-RW-compatible players. • When a Ver.1.1 CPRM or Ver. 1.2 disc is used, you can record a “Copy Once” program (see page 53). • The disc can be erased and used again about 1,000 times. • Only the VR mode can be used for Ver.1.0 discs. • With Ver.1.1/1.2 discs, you can record by selecting the VR mode or Video mode. • When you record in the VR mode, you can repeatedly record and erase. By erasing unnecessary titles, you effectively increase remaining time. • When you record in the Video mode, you can record until the disc becomes full. • When you use the Video mode, you can newly record on the disc by formatting the disc. However, if the disc is formatted, all the recorded contents will be erased. Video mode DVD-R Format modes that can be used with each disc • You can record on the disc only in the Video mode. • You can record until the disc becomes full. • Finalizing the discs allows playback on other DVD players. However, the finalized discs can no longer be recorded. • Discs can be recorded to repeatedly until they are finalized. NOTES: • There are some players that cannot playback discs that were recorded with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback with other units. • This unit cannot record on DVD-RW/R discs that are 8 cm in diameter. • This unit cannot record on CD-RW/R. • This mode can be used for DVD-R and DVD-RW (Ver.1.1/1.2). • When you finalize the disc after recording, the disc recorded with this unit can be played back with other DVD players. • Recording, editing or playback of an unfinalized disc can be done only with this unit. However, there are some limitation to editing operations. • In this mode, you cannot record a “Copy Once” program (see page 53). • When you record a TV program of a bilingual broadcast, only one of the audio modes can be recorded. You have to select it. The usable format depends on the media type as shown in the below table. Media type DVD-RW (Ver.1.0) Format VR mode Available functions Playback, recording and editing (Original/playlist) DVD-RW VR mode Playback, recording and (Ver.1.1 and editing (Original/playlist) 1.2) Video mode Playback and recording Editing (with limitation) Video mode Playback and recording DVD-R Editing (with limitation) (Ver.2.0/4x/8x) 10 2G00101A P08-P11 10 3/1/05, 11:28 AM Disc When recording in the Video mode A DVD-Video has large partitions called “Titles”, and smaller partitions within them called “Chapters”. A music CD has other partitions called “Tracks”. A number is allotted to each partition and these numbers are called “title numbers”, “chapter numbers” or “track numbers”. When a disc recorded in the Video mode is finalized, it cannot be recorded onto any more. Therefore, before finalization, be sure to perform all desired recording. After finalization, a title list that can be used by the DVD player is automatically created. DVD DISC TITLE1 CHAPTER 1 CHAPTER 2 TITLE2 CHAPTER 1 CHAPTER 2 CHAPTER 3 TRACK 4 TRACK 5 Audio-CD TRACK 1 TRACK 2 TRACK 3 When recording in the VR mode One-time recording is set to 1 title (1 chapter). However, if you stop recording temporarily or erase scenes by editing, the chapter will automatically be partitioned. The interval between chapters can be specified. (See page 31.) When recording in the Video mode One-time recording is set to 1 title. In recording, chapters are set automatically. The interval between chapters can be specified. (See page 31.) NOTES: • The title, chapter and track are numbered, but some discs may not record the numbers. • Recording on DVD-R/RW in the Video mode is a new standard approved at the 2000 DVD forum. Conformity to this standard varies with each DVD player manufacturer. Some models of DVD player or DVDROM drive, therefore, will not playback recorded videos. Disc playback in other players DVD-RW/R recorded in this unit can be finalized. The disc can be played back in other players that can playback DVD-RW and DVD-R. For more information on finalization, see “FINALIZE” in “Setting the disc” (page 27). When recording in the VR mode Even if a DVD-RW disc recorded in the VR mode is finalized, you can record or edit by cancelling the finalization. (See “UNDO FINALIZE” on page 28.) When you playback the disc with another player, make sure that the DVD player supports DVD-RW. NOTES: • The finalization process may require from a few minutes up to 1 hour depending on the disc type and the amount of free space on the disc. • A DVD-RW Ver.1.1/1.2 recorded in the Video mode cannot be recorded or edited after finalization, but if you format the disc by erasing all the content, you can again record on this disc. • A finalized disc may not play because of the condition of the DVD or the compatibility with the player used for playback. • Some players may not playback the discs recorded with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback using other players. Introduction Title/Chapter/Track On Video CDs This DVD supports Video CDs equipped with the PBC (Version 2.0) function.
