Aging
Overview
• Record several programs onto the mounted HDD with DR mode until the recording capacity becomes full.
Then play back all the recorded programs (including special playback).
• When the remaining capacity becomes almost zero due to multiple recordings, the disc is formatted, recording is made onto the
same disc again and playback starts.
• Direct recording to DVD-RAM media is not possible. So firstly record 1 program with 1-hour length onto HDD with DR mode, and
then record onto DVD-RAM with FR mode.
• By performing reencode copying, almost entire DVD-RAM capacity is consumed to copy and record.
