does not become available. Once an area on a DVD-R is

recorded on, that area is no longer a vailable for

recording, whether the recording is erased or not.

• It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete

recording management information after recording

finishes.

Step 2

Step 4

Format the disc to start recording

Playing

Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts

formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is

required or the preparation of recording on a disc.

You can select the title you want to play in a displayed

menu and then immediately start playback.

A DVD consists of sections, called titles, and sub

sections, called chapters.

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.

During recording, a title is created between two points

where you start and stop recording. DVD-R/DVD-RW

discs (in Video mode) can automatically create

chapters according to the recording mode when

finalized.

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

components. A VR mode disc allows more varied

editing.

Step 5

Editing a recorded disc

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 finalized.

Editing on discs is easier than conventional video

tapes. The recorder supports many different edit

functions, possible only with DVDs.

With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate

various edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename,

lock, etc., on a recorded title.

■ You can only use one format on a DVD-RW.

Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/-RW in VR mode)

With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on

the same disc and edit it without the change of the

original recording.

■ You can change the DVD-RW format to

another format. It should be noted that

the data of the disc may be lost when

changing formats.

NOTE

Finalizing & Playing on

Step 6

other DVD components

To play your DVD on other DVD components,

finalizing may be necessary. First, finish all editing and

recording operations, then finalize the disc.

Step 3

Recording

When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode

Although finalizing is generally unnecessary when

playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible

component, a finalized disc should be used for

playback on that type of component.

There are two different recording methods, Direct

Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is

classified as recording type : Once, Daily or Weekly or

recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP

(standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode),

and EP (extended mode) according to the recording

mode. When recording is set in the FR mode, the best

quality picture is recorded with regards to the

remaining time on the disc.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode

The disc should be finalized first to enable playback

on anything other than this recorder. No more editing

or recording can be made on the disc once it has

been finalized.

When using a DVD-R disc

You should finalize the disc to play it on a component

other than this recorder.You cannot edit or record on

the disc once it has been finalized.

Editing

This section introduces basic functions of DVD

editing and explains both edit functions for the

recording on a disc and edit functions for the

entire disc.

• Title List

Title refers to a recorded video and audio stream.

Title List shows a list to help you select a title.

Since the title list consists of the information on

stream that is actually recorded, if one title is delet-

ed, that title cannot be played again.

• Play List

This refers to a unit of playback, which is made by

selecting a desired scene in the entire Title List.

When one playlist is played, only the scene selected

by the user will play and then stop. Since only the

information necessary for playing a desired scene is

included in a playlist, even if that playlist is deleted,

the original stream will not be deleted.

If recording or editing could have not been

finished properly because of any kinds of error,

such as sudden power failure, the recording or

editing might have not been done.

Troubleshooting

If your product malfunctions, go through the checkpoints below before contacting a Hitachi authorized service center.

The input is displayed for a while

when the power is turned on.

The DVD recorder requires some time to initialize

and the input will be displayed for approx. 10 seconds

after it is turned on.

Recording

Cannot record TV programs.

• Check whether the power cord is securely plugged

into the power outlet.

• Did you set the DVD recorder channel settings

correctly?

discs only. If a program is copy protected, it cannot

be recorded.

Differences between Using REC

PAUSE Button and Using Stop

Button during Recording

creates a title. When the REC PAUSE button is

pressed, the paused state is kept. When the REC

Pause button is pressed again during REC pause,

the title under pause will be kept recording.
