The DVO-1000MD is a DVD Recorder designed for use 
with video equipment such as external equipment. The 
DVO-1000MD compresses video signals sent from the 
external equipment with an MPEG-2 format and audio 
signals with Dolby Digital format (2CH), and records 
video and audio signals on a DVD+RW disc.
The following are the principal features of the unit.

Since rewritable DVD+RW disc is used as a removable 
disc, the disc is automatically finalized and discs 
recorded with this unit can be played on other DVD+RW 
players. Also, the unit searches for the first blank space 
automatically and starts recording from that point. Thus, 
it is not necessary to cue up and you can start recording 
right after you insert the disc.

1)

 is a trademark.

The unit employs VBR (Variable Bit Rate) recording 
which varies the compressed rate of MPEG2 
dynamically according to the images recorded, thereby 
high-quality recording relative to recording time can be 
realized. Also, you can select picture quality from 
among three recording modes: HQ (about 60 minutes: 
CBR (Constant Bit Rate)), SP (about 120 minutes: 
VBR) and LP (about 180 minutes: VBR).

You can mark indexes during recording or playback. 
This allows you to search for the desired points instantly 
during playback, and also to play a segment specified by 
two points repeatedly.

The Dolby Digital 

1)

 recording format allows you to 

record high-quality audio sound simultaneously with the 
video signals.

1) The unit is manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. 

“Dolby” and Double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
