Getting StartedEnglish - 9How to use the DVDRecorder & VCRStep 1 Select the disc typeStep 2Format the disc to start recordingThis unit can record on the following types of discs.If you want to repeatedly record on the same disc oryou want to edit the disc after recording, select arewritable DVD-RW or DVD-RAM type disc. If youwant to save a recording without any changes,choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts for-matting when an unused disc is inserted. This isrequired for the preparation of recording on a disc.Using a DVD-RAMThis type of disc can be formatted in DVD-VideoRecording format (VR mode). You can edit recordedimages and create a playlist in a specific sequenceaccording to your requirements.Using a DVD-RWThis type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recordingformat (VR mode). For an unused disc, a messagethat asks whether to format in VR Mode or not is dis-played. You can play a video mode disc on variousDVD components. A VR mode disc allows more var-ied editing.Using a DVD-RThis type of disc can be formatted in DVD Video for-mat. After formatting is complete, you can record onthe disc. You can play this type of disc on variousDVD components only when they have been final-ized.■You can only use either the VR or Videomode on a DVD-RW, but not both at thesame time.■You can change the DVD-RW format toanother format by reinitializing. It should be noted that the disc's data willbe lost when changing formats.NoteStep 3 RecordingStep 4 PlayingStep 5Editing a recorded discYou can select the title you want to play in a dis-played menu and then immediately start playback.ADVD consists of sections called titles, and subsections called chapters.During recording, a title is created between twopoints where you start and stop recording. Chapterswill be created automatically when you finalizerecording on DVD-R / DVD-RW discs in Video mode.The chapter’s length (interval between chapters)varies according to the recording mode.There are two different recording methods: DirectRecording and Timer Recording. Timer recording isclassified as a Date : Once, Daily or Weekly.Recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (stan-dard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), andEP (extended mode).Editing on discs is easier than conventional videotapes. The recorder supports many different editfunctions, possible only with DVDs.With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operatevarious edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename,lock, etc., on a recorded title.Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/-RW in VRmode)With this recorder, you can create a new playlist onthe same disc and edit it without the change of theoriginal recording.00588A(00)-VR320-1/XAA-eng 6/7/05 7:08 PM Page 9
Getting Started10 - EnglishStep 6Finalizing & Playing onother DVD componentsTo play your DVD on other DVD components, finaliz-ing may be necessary. First, finish all editing andrecording operations, then finalize the disc.When using a DVD-RW disc in VR ModeAlthough finalizing is generally unnecessary whenplaying the disc on a VR Mode compatible compo-nent, a finalized disc should be used for playback. When using a DVD-RW disc in Video ModeThe disc should be finalized first to enable playbackon anything other than this recorder. No more editingor recording can be made on the disc once it hasbeen finalized. When using a DVD-R discYou should finalize the disc to play it on a componentother than this recorder. You cannot edit or record onthe disc once it has been finalized.00588A(00)-VR320-1/XAA-eng 6/7/05 7:08 PM Page 10
