General information

What kind of discs can be used for recording?
You can use two different types of DVDs with this DVD Recorder:
DVD+RW
This disc can be recorded on and then erased.
DVD+R
This disc can only be recorded on once.
For this DVD to be played in a DVD player, it must be finalized with
'Finalize disc'. After this is done, no more recordings can be added to
this disc.
If this disc is only to be played in the DVD Recorder, then it does not
have to be finalized. Recordings can be added and then deleted.
However, the location (playing time) of the deleted recording (title) will
no longer be available.
With the 'Manual recording' function you can make a spontaneous recording (for example, a
program currently being shown).
To do this, select the title to be overwritten or choose an 'Empty title' in the 'index screen'
with the CH- B , ACH+ buttons.
If the recording is to be inserted between existing recordings, please note the length of the old
and new recording. If the new recording is too long, the recording (title/chapter) following it will
be overwritten.
Adding new recordings after the end of all recordings (Safe
Record)
To add a new recording after the last recording on a disc, press and
hold the REC/OTR n button until 'SAFE REC' appears in the display.
For DVD+R, each new recording is always placed after all previous
recordings since previous recordings cannot be overwritten.
End of disc is reached
If the end of a disc is reached during recording, recording will stop and
the Recorder will turn itself off automatically.
If you want to start and stop a recording manually, read the section 'Recording without
automatic switch off'.
Please refer to 'Recording with automatic switch off', if you want to start a recording manually
and conclude it within a specific amount of time. This permits accidentally recording to the end of
the disc.
Tip: If the end of a disc is reached during recording, recording will stop and the Recorder will turn
itself off automatically.
