The timer recording system allows you to select the
date, time and channel and record the desired pro-
grams. Up to 8 timer programs within a month can be
stored in this unit.

The One-touch Timer Recording feature provides a
simple and convenient way to make a timed recording.

You can create a playlist based on the original titles.
The playlist won’t affect the original titles. If you erase
the playlist, the original titles remain. It is recommended
to create and edit the playlist to prevent important titles
from being erased accidentally.

You can add (or delete) a chapter mark to (from) the
original title. This function is useful when searching for
the scene you wish to watch that you have marked with
the Chapter mark function.

You can erase an unnecessary scene from the created
playlist or the original titles.

You can combine several original titles or playlists to a
separate playlist.

Video CD/SVCD/MP3/WMA files can be played back.
Also, you can display JPEG files on the TV screen and
enjoy them as a slide show.

The title list appears on finalised DVD-RW disc (re-
corded in the Video mode) and DVD-R disc.

• Dubbing cannot be carried out when attempting to

copy a “copy guarded”  video tape or disc.

Not only can you playback and record video tapes, but
you can also playback DVD discs or make recordings
using DVD-RW/DVD-R discs with this unit. In addition,
you can edit the programs you have recorded.

When connected to Dolby Digital and DTS compliant
devices, you can enjoy realistic, powerful surround
sound.

As DVDs do not require rewinding like video tapes, you
can get to the scene you wish to watch immediately.  A
variety of search functions allow you to find the scene
you wish to watch.

As thumbnail images are displayed in the title menu,
you can find the title you want to play back quickly.

With just this one unit, you can dub however you like,
from video tape to disc, or from disc to video tape.
