24 RECORDING
Recording
Before you start recording
Recordings on a DVD+RW disc are called ‘titles.’ Every
title consists of one or more chapters.
For more information about how to go to other titles or
chapters see ‘Playback - General features.’
Important:
Recordings on a DVD+RW begin at the disc
pointer, the point where the last recording
stopped. Other recordings may be overwritten
without notice, unless the disc is write protected.
In this respect, your DVD Recorder behaves just
like a Video Cassette Recorder.
If you want to make a recording without the risk of
overwriting earlier recordings use the safe Record
Function (see ‘Manual Recording - Safe Recording’).
In the Index Picture Screen you can select the point where
you want to start your recording. Use w/v (down/up
cursor) and / to select a location on the disc bar at
the right of the Index Picture Screen.
Your DVD Recorder always checks the disc that you have
inserted:
➤ When a DVD+RW/+R disc is inserted on which
recordings have been made, the Index Picture Screen
is shown on your TV screen.
➤ If the inserted disc is a completely empty
recordable disc, the message EMPTY DISC appears on
the display.
➤ If the inserted disc is a DVD+RW disc with a
content that is not DVD video compatible (e.g. a data
disc), a dialog box is shown with the option to erase
or eject the disc. You can only record on this disc after
erasing it with the REC.
A disc can hold up to 48 titles (including empty titles).
When this maximum is reached, the on-screen message
‘Too many titles’ appears if you want to make a new
recording. You have to erase a title first. See ‘Managing
Disc Content - Erasing a Title.’
Notes:
- You can not access the system menu while recording.
- 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.
- Power interruption to the Recorder while recording on a
DVD+R or a unit failure/system crash may destroy all material
recorded on the Disc.

Checking input
Normally, the DVD Recorder displays the contents of the
current disc on the screen, allowing you to select a place
on the disc to start recording. However, if you want to
view TV channels, press the MONITOR so that TV
programming appears on the TV. In this mode you can
choose channels directly with the digit buttons 0-9 on the
remote control.
Make sure your TV is on the correct Video In channel.
Press MONITOR again to return to disc viewing only at
the Recorder.
