Other discs may not perform correctly.

DVD-RAM Disc Playback and Recording

• DVD-RAM discs come with or without a cartridge. For

this product, we recommend DVD-RAM discs that come

with cartridges.

• Some cartridges are able to eject the disc inside. Even if

you are able to eject the disc, always use the disc with

the cartridge to ensure correct operation.

• DVD-RAM discs have a Write Protect tab in order to

avoid accidental erasure of recorded data. With the Write

Protect tab set to PROTECT, you can play the disc, but

recording or erasing will not work. Set the Write Protect

tab to UNPROTECT to format the disc or erase data.

• Ensure that the recording mode is set to VR mode.

Otherwise, this product will not be able to play the

• This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and

cartridge DVD-RAM, but the write-protect tabs on

cartridge-type discs give better protection to your

recordings.

• Many DVD discs are encoded with copy protection.

Because of this, you should only connect your DVD

Recorder-VCR directly to your TV, not to a VCR.

Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture

from copy-protected DVD discs.

quality digital images on a DVD-RAM/DVD-RW/DVD-R

disc. You can also edit digital images on DVD-RAM/

DVD-RW discs.

High quality digital audio and video recording and

playback

Record up to about 12-hour images with a double sided 9.4 GB

DVD-RAM disc, and up to about 6-hour images with a 4.7

GB DVD-RAM disc, depending on the recording mode.

Creating DVD video title using DVD-RW/DVD-R disc

With DV-RF7U, create your own DVD video title on 4.7 GB

DVD-RW/DVD-R discs.

A Variety of Recording Options

Select an appropriate recording mode between XP, SP, LP

and EP to meet your recording needs. (See pages 64~65.)

• XP mode - High quality, about 1 hour

• SP mode - Standard quality, about 2 hours

• LP mode - Low quality, about 4 hours

• EP mode - Lower quality, about 6 hours

Copying digital camcorder content using DV input jack

Before Reading the

Instruction Manual

How to use the DVD

Recorder-VCR

Step 1

Select the disc type

Step 2

Format the disc to start recording

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 a

recording without any changes, choose a non-rewritable

DVD-R.

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 images and create

a playlist 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 Video 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.

When formatting is complete, you can record on the disc.

You can play this type of disc on various DVD components

only when they have been finalized.

■

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

■

You can change the DVD-RW format to another for-

mat. It should be noted that the data on the disc may

be lost when changing formats.

Step 6

Finalizing & Playing on

other DVD components

Step 5

Editing a recorded 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.

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.

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.

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, dubbing, rename, lock, etc.,

on a recorded title.

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.

To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalizing

may be necessary. First, finish all editing and recording

operations, then finalize the disc.

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.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode

The disc should be finalized first to enable playback on any

DVD components other than this recorder. No more editing

or recording can be made on the disc once it has been

finalized.

To enable recording on the disc again, Disc should be

unfinalized.

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.
