playback DVD discs or make recordings using DVD-RAM, DVD-RW or DVD-R discs with this unit. In addition, you can enjoy editing the programs you record. Playback function A realistic, powerful, Movie Theater sound When connected to Dolby Digital and DTS compliant devices, you can enjoy realistic, powerful surround sound. Playback the scene you want to see immediately Timer recording The timer recording system allows you to select the date, time and channel and record the desired programs. Up to 12 timer programs within a month can be stored in this unit. One-touch Timer Recording (OTR) The One-touch Timer Recording feature provides a simple and convenient way to make a timed recording. Edit function Editing recorded material without changing the original titles As DVD’s do not require rewinding like video tapes, you can get to the scene you wish to watch immediately. A variety of search functions allow you to find the scene you wish to watch. Title menu You can create a playlist based on the original titles. The playlist won’t affect the original titles. If you erase the playlist, the original titles remain. It is recommended to create and edit the playlist to prevent important titles from being erased accidentally. As thumbnail images are displayed in the title menu, you can find the title you want to play back quickly. Chapter mark • Thumbnail image will not appear after finalizing DVDRW (recorded in the Video mode) and DVD-R. You can add (or delete) a chapter mark to (from) the original title. This function is useful when searching for the scene you wish to watch that you have marked with the Chapter mark function. Video CD/SVCD/MP3/WMA/JPEG playback Video CD/SVCD/MP3/WMA files can be played back. You can also display JPEG files on the TV screen and enjoy them as a slide show. Progressive scan Erasing scenes You can erase an unnecessary scene from the created playlist or the original titles. Combining titles This unit supports the progressive scanning system. If your TV is equipped with component video input jacks which support the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture. Chase playback You can combine several original titles or playlists to a separate playlist. Dubbing function You can start playback from the beginning of a program currently being recorded. You will find this function of great advantage on long programs, as you do not have to wait for the end of recording to start playback.
