IMPORTANT NOTE

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a

moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the

fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug. If it requires

replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same

rating must be used.

Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover

is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is

required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of

the plug. Replacement covers are available from your

dealer.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your

house or the cable is not long enough to reach a

power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved

extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.

However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug,

remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the

plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains jack, as there is a

risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.

How to use the DVD

Recorder

Step 1

Select the disc type

This unit can record on the following types of discs.

If you want to repeatedly record on the same disc or

you want to edit the disc after recording, select a

rewritable DVD-RW or DVD-RAM type disc.

If you want to save recording without any change,

choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.

Before reading the user’s

manual

Make sure to check the following terms before

reading the user’s manual.

Step 2

Format the disc to start recording

Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts

formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is

required for the preparation of recording on a disc.

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.

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.

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 finalised.

■

You can only use either the VR or

Video mode on a DVD-RW, but not

both at the same time.

■

You can change the DVD-RW

format to another format by

reinitializing. It should be noted that

the disc's data will be lost when

changing formats.
