Recording
Before you start recording
Recordings on a DVD disc are called 'titles'. Every title
consists of one or more chapters.
TITLE 1
CHAPTER 1
CHAPTER 2
For more information about how to go to other titles or
chapters see 'Playback - general features'.
Important:
Recordings on a DVD+RW disc are normally
started from the position of the so-called disc
pointer, i.e. the point 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 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
Record)
In the Index Picture Screen you can select the point
where you want to start your recording. Use the w v
(down up cursor) and 5 REVERSE / 6 FORWARD
keys. You can see the the current location on the disc
bar, indicated by the arrow.
Your DVD recorder always checks the disc that you
have inserted:
‰ When a DVD+RW 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 RECORD key.
Note:
- 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.

‰ 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 next to an empty title. (See 'Managing Disc
Content'.)
Manual recording
Checking input
Normally, the DVD recorder displays the contents of
the disc on screen.
l Press MONITOR in order to switch to the internal
tuner, or whichever other source is selected, if you
want to check the input before starting a recording.
‰ On the TV screen, you will see the actual picture
quality that you will get if you record: the video has
been encoded and decoded again. This is why you
will see a delay of about 1.5 seconds when using a
'live' source such as a camera.
l In monitor mode you can choose programme
numbers directly with the digit keys 0-9 on the
remote control.
l Press SELECT repeatedly to select the desired
record mode.
l Press MONITOR again to go back to disc mode.
Recording
l Insert a recordable DVD+RW or DVD+R disc.
l Normally, the DVD recorder displays the contents
of the disc on the screen.
l Use the MONITOR button to see the currently
selected TV channel.
l Use CHANNEL 3 or CHANNEL 4 (on the
recorder) or CH+, CH- (on the remote control) to
select the programme number (programme name)
from which you wish to record.
‰ When a TV channel transmits a channel name,
it will be shown on the display.
