Copyright protection
When you try to record copy protected material from an
external appliance, COPY PROT will be displayed. No
recording is possible then.
This product incorporates Macrovision copyright protection
technology that is protected by US patent no. 4631603,

Macrovision must provide written authorisation for any
other use. Change to the device, reverse engineering or

Recording is permissible insofar as copyright or
other rights of third parties are not infringed upon.
In some countries the use of the DVD recorder

Discs for recording
For recording with this DVD recorder system, you can use
2 different types of DVD discs.These discs are marked with
the logos shown below.
– DVD+RW
can be recorded on, erased and
re-recorded many times and played on
DVD+RW compatible DVD players and
DVD recorders.
– DVD+R
can be recorded on once.Recordings can
be added and deleted. However, the
position of a deleted recording cannot be
used for further recordings again. If the
DVD+R is to be played on this DVD recorder system only,
it does not have to be finalised. For playing the DVD+R on
other standard DVD players and DVD recorders, it has to
be finalised. Once a DVD+R has been finalised, no further
recordings can be made.
Before you start recording
For each recording on a DVD+RW or DVD+R disc,
following information will be stored automatically:
– Name of the recording: If a TV station transmits the
name of a programme (e.g. Superman), it will be stored
automatically. If the programme’s name is not
transmitted, the channel number or channel name and
the time when recording has been started will be stored
as the name of the recording.
– Total recording time
– Record type (Quality)
– Date of the recording
– Index picture of the recording
Recordings on a DVD disc are called “titles”. Each title
consists of one or more “chapters”.
Recordings on a DVD+RW disc are started from the
position where the last recording was stopped. From there
on, earlier recordings may be overwritten without notice,
unless the disc is write protected. In this respect your
DVD recorder system behaves just like a Video Cassette
Recorder. If you want to make a recording without the risk
of overwriting earlier recordings use the function safe
record (see chapter “Safe record”).
Notes:
If a disc is inserted that already contains the maximum of
48 titles (including empty titles): Too many titles is
displayed.You can only record on this disc after erasing one or
more titles.
If a DVD+RW is inserted the contents of which are not
DVD video compatible (e.g. a data disc):A dialogue box
appears with the option to erase or eject the disc.You can only
record on this disc after erasing it by using REC/OTR.
On a disc containing PAL recordings, no NTSC recordings can
be made and vice versa. On an empty disc, either type of
recordings can be made.
No recordings can be made from so-called “Pseudo-PAL” or
PAL-60 sources.
