General information
What kind of discs can be used for recording?
You can used two different types of DVDs with this DVD recorder:
DVD+RW
This disc can be recorded on and then erased.
DVD+R
This disc can only be recorded on once.
For this DVD to be played in a DVD player, it must be finalized. After
this is done, no more recordings can be added to this disc.
If this disc is only to be played in the DVD recorder, then it does not
have to be finalized. Recordings can be added and then deleted.
However, the location (playing time) of the deleted recording (title) will
no longer be available. See page 55 for details on finalizing discs.
?
You can make a spontaneous recording (for example, a program currently being shown) by
following the steps.
To do this, select the title to be overwritten or choose an 'Empty title' in the 'index screen'
with the B , A buttons.
If the recording is to be inserted between existing recordings, please note the length of the old
and new recording. If the new recording is too long, the recording (title/chapter) following it will
be overwritten.
Adding new recordings after the end of all recordings (Safe
Record)
To add a new recording after the last recording on a disc, press and
hold the REC/OTR n button until 'SAFE REC' appears in the display.
For DVD+R, each new recording is always placed after all previous
recordings since previous recordings cannot be overwritten.
Tip
If you want to start and stop a recording manually, read the section 'Recording without
automatic switchoff'.
Please refer to 'Recording with automatic switchoff', if you want to start a recording
manually and conclude it within a specific amount of time. This permits accidentally recording to
the end of the disc.
Tip: If the end of a disc is reached during recording, recording will stop and the Recorder will
turn itself off automatically.
