About Recording  
When using a DVD-R or DVD+R disc,  
you can keep recording until the disc  
is full, or until you finalize the disc.  
Before you start a recording session,  
check the amount of recording time  
left on the disc.  
When using a DVD-RW disc in Video  
mode, recording time available will  
only increase if you erase the last title  
recorded on the disc.  
TheDelete Titleoption in the“Title  
List-Originalmenu only hides the  
title, it does not actually erase the title  
from the disc and increase the record-  
ing time available (except for the last  
recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in  
Video mode).  
About Disc Types/Formats  
DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW discs are  
always formatted in“Videomode—  
the same as pre-recorded DVD-Video  
discs. Once finalized, you can play  
DVD-R, DVD+R, or DVD+RW discs in  
most regular DVD players.  
DVD-RW discs can be formatted in  
“Video Recording (VR)or“Video”  
mode.VR mode allows maximum  
editing features, while Video mode  
allows maximum compatibility with  
other DVD players.  
The DVD Recorder+VCR cannot re-  
cord CD-R or CD-RW discs.  
Notes on Recording  
The recording times shown  
You can overwrite recordings when  
using DVD+RW discs.  
are not exact because the DVD  
Recorder+VCR uses variable bit-rate  
video compression.This means that  
the exact recording time will depend  
on the material being recorded.  
If your TV reception is poor or the pic-  
ture contains interference, the record-  
ing times may be shorter.  
When you eject a DVD+R/RW, the  
DVD Recorder+VCR will displayMak-  
ing a Menuon screen and automati-  
cally update the disc menu with any  
new titles and/or edits.  
Fingerprints and small scratches on  
a disc can affect playback and/or  
recording performance. Please take  
proper care of your discs.  
The company does not hold any  
responsibility to compensate for  
contents which should have been  
recorded, and any losses or damages  
(e.g. , losses of business profit, or busi-  
ness intermission) that may arise from  
malfunction of this recorder (e.g., not  
recording/editing as intended).  
If you record still pictures or audio  
only, recording times may be longer.  
The displayed times for recording and  
time remaining may not always add  
up to exactly the length of the disc.  
The recording time available may  
decrease if you heavily edit a disc.  
If using a DVD-RW disc, make sure  
you set the recording format (Video  
mode or VR mode) before you record  
anything on the disc; see page 29.

Timer Recording Notes  
Timer Recording  
Troubleshooting  
Even if a Timer Recording is set, the  
DVD Recorder+VCR will not record if:  
The Timer indicator lights on the  
front panel display when the DVD  
Recorder+VCR is ready for timer re-  
cording.  
No disc (or tape) is loaded.  
A non-recordable disc (or tape) is  
loaded.  
If the Disc and Tape indicator are  
blinking, either no disc or tape is  
loaded, or the loaded disc is not re-  
cordable.  
The DVD Recorder+VCR will record  
the audio according to the current  
TV tuner setting (Stereo, Mono or  
SAP). Use the AUDIO button to set  
the audio before turning off the DVD  
Recorder+VCR.  
The disc is protected in the Setup  
menu; see page 31.  
There are already 99 titles (DVD-R/  
RW) or 49 titles (DVD+R/RW) record-  
ed on the disc.  
You cannot enter a Timer Recording if:  
A recording is already in progress.  
The start time has already passed.  
Eight Timer Recordings have already  
been programmed.  
The DVD Recorder+VCR will auto-  
matically power off when the Timer  
Recording ends (unless the non-re-  
cording deck is in use).  
There is a short delay when a timer  
recording finishes to confirm the re-  
corded program. If two timer record-  
ings are set to record sequentially  
(one right after the other), the very  
beginning of the later program may  
not be recorded.  
If two or more Timer Recordings  
overlap:  
The earlier program takes priority.  
When the earlier program finishes,  
the later program starts.  
If two programs are set to start at  
exactly the same time, the program  
entered first takes priority.  
Canceling a Timer Recording  
You can clear a Timer Recording any time  
before the recording actually starts.  
If the recordable disc is damaged, the  
recording may not complete successfully,  
even if the Check field shows ‘Rec. OK‘.  
1 Use /to select the program you  
want to erase on the Timer Recorder  
List.  
2 Press CLEAR and selectYesto delete  
the program.  
Stopping a Timer Recording  
in Progress  
After a Timer Recording has started, you  
can still cancel the program by pressing

Most regular DVD players can play  
finalized discs recorded in Video mode,  
finalized DVD+R or DVD+RWs. A small  
number of players can also play DVD-RW  
discs recorded in VR mode, finalized or  
not.To finalize a disc, see page 30.  
NOTE:  
• This function is not available if the  
title is protected.  
• If the new recording is longer than the  
overwritten recording, the next title is  
overwritten as well. But if the next title  
is protected, recording stops at the  
starting point of the next title.  
Unfinalized DVD+RW discs are play-  
able on regular DVD players.  
The edited contents of a DVD+RW  
disc are compatible on regular DVD  
players only after finalization.  
Any edited contents of a DVD+R disc  
are not compatible on regular DVD  
players (e.g., Hide, Combine, Chapter  
Marks, etc.).
