7. Advanced Mode: (Page 27 of the Manual)
Select “Advanced Mode” from the main menu screen.
The Advanced Mode combines the same recording functionality of the Easy Wizard Mode with the ability to manage your video conversions from recording, to editing and finally to burning.

You can use the Advanced Mode to perform many functions including:

1. Record from multiple tapes and/or video sources
2. Convert to DVD, MPEG, AVI, WMV, LongDVD, iPod, PSP
3. Convert overseas tapes to your local standard
4. Import existing videos from your computer
5. Edit and/or combine recordings from one or multiple sources
6. Add transitions, special effects and text to video
7. Preview recording before burning to ensure it plays as desired
8. Create custom disc menus
9. Burn your recordings to DVD, VCD, SVCD or save as an ISO image to burn later
If you are looking for complete control of your video recordings, the Advanced Mode will provide that and more.
