Z X C V K L B G A D J M N (DVD+RW/DVD+R discs can be played, but cannot be recorded.) 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. This involves a function available on DVD-RW. This involves a function available on -R DVD-R. This involves a function available on +RW DVD+RW. This involves a function available on +R DVD+R. This involves a function available on CD a data CD (CD-R or CD-RW). This involves a function available on JPEG CD-R/-RW, DVD±R/±RW/-RAM discs. This involves a function available on MP3 CD-R/-RW, DVD±R/±RW/-RAM discs. This involves a function available on DivX CD-R/-RW, DVD±R/±RW/-RAM discs. This involves a case where a Caution function does not operate or settings may be cancelled. This involves tips or instructions on NOTE the page that help each function operate. One-Touch A function that can be operated by button using only one button. Step 2 : Format the disc to start recording Unlike a VCR, the DVD Recorder 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 (V mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks whether to initialise a disc or not. If you select "DVD-VR" or "DVD-V", initialising will be started. You can play a Video mode disc on various DVD components. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing. Using a DVD-R About the use of this user's manual 1) Be sure to be familiar with Safety Instructions before using this product. (See pages 2~6) 2) If a problem occurs, check the Troubleshooting. (See pages 89~90) Copyright ©2007 Samsung Electronics Co. All rights reserved; No part or whole of this user's manual may be reproduced or copied without the prior written permission of Samsung Electronics Co. Formatting disc is unnecessary and only V Mode Recording is supported. You can play these type of discs on various DVD components only when they have been finalised. M You can only use either the VR or Video mode on a DVD-RW, but not both at the same time. You can format a DVD-RW to V or VR mode using Disc Manager. It should be noted that the disc's data will be lost when changing formats. English - 10 Step 3 : Recording There are two different recording methods, Direct Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is classified as follows: 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. Step 6 : Finalising & Playing on other DVD components To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalising may be necessary. First, finish all editing and recording operations, then finalise the disc. When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode DVD discs recorded in VR mode can only be played back in DVD recorders, not players. When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode The disc should be finalised first to enable playback on anything other than this DVD Recorder. No more editing or recording can be made on the disc once it has been finalised. To enable recording on the disc again, the disc must be unfinalised. When using a DVD-R disc You should finalise the disc to play it on a component other than this DVD Recorder. You cannot edit or record on the disc once it has been finalised. Getting Started Step 4 : Playing 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 subsections, called chapters. During recording, a title is created between two points where you start and stop recording. Chapters will be created automatically when you finalise recording on DVD-RW/-R discs in Video mode. The chapter's length (interval between chapters) varies according to the recording mode. M You can finalise the disc automatically using EZ Record function. (See page 30) Step 5 : Editing a recorded disc Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes. The DVD 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, rename, lock, etc., on a recorded title. Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/-RW in VR mode) With this DVD Recorder, you can create a new playlist on a disc and edit it without the original, pre-existing recording.
