Useful features
This DVD recorder records high quality images to rapid 
random access capable DVD-RAM media. 
This has resulted in many new features that 
outperform older tape formats. The following 
information summarizes a few of these features.
Quick Start
A few seconds after turning on the unit, you can start 
recording to DVD-RAM.
Instant recording
You no longer need to search for empty disc space. By 
pressing the recording button, the unit finds available 
recording space and begins recording right away.
There is no need to worry about overwriting already 
recorded content.
Instant play
There is no need to rewind or search forward. Direct 
Navigator guides you to the beginning of the recorded 
video immediately.
Chasing playback
There is no need to wait until 
recording is complete. Without 
stopping recording, you can play 
the video currently being 
recorded from its beginning.
Simultaneous Recording 
and Playback
While recording, you can play 
another video program that was 
recorded previously.
Time Slip
During play and also while 
recording, you can jump to the 
scene you wish to view by 
specifying the skip time.
