DV terminal (IN/OUT) The DV input is connectable via i.LINK. The contents can be edited digitally and can be controlled by remote controller. This allows consumers to create their own DVD. A chapter marker is inserted automatically every time there is break in the time code on the DV tape.
Other Convenient features(Video mode) Undo Finalize On DVD-RW discs recorded in “Video” mode You can add more contents even after the disc was finalized with [Undo Finalize] feature. Title menu with thumbnail When finalizing a “Video” mode disc, a menu with still pictures is created on the disc. Wall paper samples of title menu The DVR-210/310-S allow you to select a wall paper from nine patterns.
