Frequently asked questions
In this section you can find answers to frequently asked
questions on how to use your DVD recorder and what it
can do.
• What kind of discs can I use for recording?
You can use DVD-R and DVD-RW discs for recording.
DVD-RAM, CD-R and CD-RW discs are not
recordable using this recorder.
See
Disc / content format playback compatibility
on
page 9 for more details.
• Can I watch recordings made using this recorder on
other DVD players?
Yes. Use a DVD-R disc for you recordings (these are
always recorded in Video mode). After recording,
finalize the disc to make it playable on other DVD
players (note that you cannot make further
recordings on the disc after finalizing it).
If you want to use a DVD-RW disc, make sure that it’s
initialized for recording in Video mode. As with a
DVD-R, finalize the disc after recording to make it
playable in other players.

Playing your recordings on other DVD players
on page 56.
• Can I edit recordings, or erase parts of recordings from
a disc?
Yes. Recording to a VR mode DVD-RW disc gives you
the most flexibility when editing. By default, when you
load a new DVD-RW disc into the recorder it is
initialized for recording in VR mode.

Editing
on page 58.
• Can I play a VR mode DVD-RW disc in another DVD
player?
Look for the ‘RW Compatible’ mark on the other DVD
player to see if it will play VR mode DVD-RW discs. If
the player does not recognize the disc when you load
it, try finalizing it in the recorder, then try again.

Playing your recordings on other DVD players
on page 56.
• Can I record a copy-once protected program from a
subscription satellite or cable channel?
Yes, but you’ll need to use a CPRM-compatible DVD-
RW disc initialized for VR mode recording. (Look on
the disc package to see if it is CPRM compatible.)
See also
CPRM
on page 45.
• Can I play a disc while recording?
Yes. For simultaneous recording and playback, use a
2x speed compatible DVD-RW initialized for VR mode
recording (the disc should be a DVD-RW Ver. 1.1 / 2x
or Ver. 1.2 / 4x CPRM-compatible).

Simultaneous recording and playback
on
page 53.
• I changed the batteries in the remote control and now
it doesn’t work!
Most likely the remote control ID does not match the
recorder. After changing the batteries, the remote ID
is reset to 1; if the recorder is set to something else,
the remote will not work with it.
See
Remote Control Set
on page 79 for how to set the
ID of the recorder and the remote.
Front panel display shows ‘LOCK’

• The Child Lock is on; turn off in order to use the recorder (page 52).
The picture freezes and the front
panel and remote control buttons
stop working
• Press the front panel
STANDBY/ON
button to switch the power off, then

for 10 seconds until the power switches off.
