• 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 51).

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 mode. 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.

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 29.)
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 29.)
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 30).
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 “Finalize” on page 30.)
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 record on this disc again.
• 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.

playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types
of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain preexisting conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback. Because this area of technology is still
evolving, Toshiba cannot guarantee that all recordable discs will produce optimal playback quality. The
technical criteria set forth in this owner’s manual are meant only as a guide.

the disc or use a new disc and follow
the instruction on recording.
NOTES:
Recording time can change for the
following reasons.
• When image quality is poor as during poor TV reception.
• When recording on a disc that has
been edited before.
• When the video is followed with recordings of still images or just audio.

Quality
Can record high quality images.
Can record normal quality images.
Quality deteriorates slightly, but
recording time is longer.
Recording time is prioritized over
quality.
• Recording time above is based on a 4.7GB disc.
Since DVD recording is performed using VBR (Variable Bit Rate), recording time varies according to the recorded content.
To know the correct recording time, stop recording and check the media information. (See page 33.)
Disc remaining time
VR mode
• Recording is possible as long as there is available space on the disc.
(Finalized discs can be recorded by cancelling the finalization, see
“Undo Finalize” on page 30.)
• Erasing unnecessary title frees up available space on the disc. (Titles
can be erased from finalized discs by cancelling the finalization. See
“Undo Finalize” on page 30.)
NOTE:
Because of characteristics peculiar
to digital video compression technology, scenes with fast motion may
appear as a matrix of larger blocks.
The unauthorized recording, use,
distribution, or revision of television
programs, videotapes, DVDs and
other materials, is prohibited under
the Copyright Laws of the United
States and other countries, and
may subject you to civil and/or
criminal liability.
