Recording main and sub sounds
You can record the different soundtracks on a
DVD-RW (VR mode) or DVD-R (VR mode) from
equipment connected to the LINE 1 IN or LINE 2
IN jacks. When playing the disc, you can select
main or sub sound by pressing the AUDIO button.
Set “Line Audio Input” in “Audio” setup to
“Main/Sub” in the Setup Display (page 81).
When recording on other discs, select either sound
track with the connected equipment before
recording.
Unrecordable pictures
Pictures with copy protection cannot be recorded
on this recorder. Recording stops when a copy
guard signal is detected.
* The recorded disc can be played only on CPRM
compatible equipment (page 30).
Formatting a new disc
New, unformatted discs are automatically
formatted when first inserted in the recorder.
For DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, you can select a
recording format (VR mode or Video mode)
according to your needs (page 30).
• Unused DVD-RWs are automatically formatted
according to the setting of “Format DVD-RW”
in “Features” setup (page 82).
• Unused DVD-Rs are automatically formatted in
Video mode. To format in VR mode, change the
recording format using the “Disc Setting”
display (page 67).
Notes
• You cannot mix VR mode and Video mode on the same
DVD-RW or DVD-R.
• You can change the recording format on DVD-RWs by
reformatting (page 67).
• You cannot change the recording format on used DVD-
Rs.
• The recorder records on new DVD-Rs in Video mode
unless you first format the discs in VR mode.
