Note on recording on a DVD-R disc
Confirm disc compatibility and prepare an available
DVD-R disc to record on (
page 6, 9).
To play a DVD-R disc recorded on this recorder on
other devices, finalize the DVD-R disc on this
recorder. (
page 108)
The finalization permanently disables the disc’s
rewritability. (Canceling the finalization is not possible.)
• DVD-Video finalize process cannot be canceled if
once executed on a DVD-R disc.
• On DVD-R discs recorded on other devices, you
cannot execute DVD-Video finalize process or add
recordings on this recorder.
To check space remaining on a disc
1) Press REMAIN.
The current capacity is displayed at the bottom of
the screen and on the front panel display.
2) After checking the capacity, press the button
again to turn off the display.
Note
• You can also check the capacity of the disc by selecting
“Disc budget calculation” from the Quick Menu within the
REC MENU ( page 44).
Programmed recording and operational status
The recorder gives priority to programmed recordings
in every operating mode. Even if the recorder is
playing, recording or editing, or even in standby mode,
at a starting time of a programmed recording the
recorder will make itself ready or stop those
operations and start the recording.
However, “DVD-Video finalizing process” (
page
108) operations may have priority over programmed
recordings.
Notes
• The “Loading” icon appears in the top right of the screen after recording. This indicates that the unit is executing
the final recording process (writing managing information). Operations other than changing channels cannot be
done until this icon disappears. The time for executing this process differs depending on the recording time or
capacity of the disc.
• Note that all recording content may be deleted if the unit is disconnected from a wall outlet, or a power failure
occurs, during recording.
• If a power failure occurs within five minutes prior to the programed recording start time, the programmed recording
may not be executed.
• A programmed recording may not be executed correctly if scheduled when Daylight-Saving time starts or ends.
When the programmed settings overlap
Before the first recording is completed, the second
program is scheduled to begin recording. When using
a DVD-RAM disc, the recording of the previous
program stops 15 seconds before the next program
starts.
When using a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc, the recording
of the previous program stops about 2 minutes before
the next program starts, to complete data process. In
this 2 minutes, you cannot operate the loaded DVD-R
or DVD-RW disc.
On a programmed recording across the change-
over of Daylight-saving time
• When the clock gains across Daylight-saving time
during a programmed recording, it means that the
recording completion time is consequently set one-
hour earlier. In this case, set the programmed
recording one-hour longer in advance. If not set
accordingly, the programmed recording stops one-
hour shorter.
• When the clock loses across Daylight-saving time
during a programmed recording, it means that the
recording completion time is consequently set one-
hour later. In this case, as the programmed
recording continues one-hour longer, delete
unnecessary chapters by chapter dividing after the
completion of recording.
