General information
The 'Disc Manager' is an integrated database in the DVD recorder that
remembers all recordings made by this DVD recorder. This gives you a
complete overview of your entire video collection at the touch of a
button. The Disc Manager gives you quick and easy access to every
recording made with this DVD recorder. The Disc Manager also
tells you which film was recorded on which disc and how many
unrecorded minutes remain on the discs.
And: You can go automatically to the beginning of the selected
recording and start playback.
How many discs can I save in the Disc Manager?
You can store up to 999 discs on this DVD recorder. The maximum number
of titles is more than 9,000. The maximum number of titles per disc is 49.
Caution when recording with other DVD recorders
Don't use a disc stored in the Disc Manager for recording on other DVD
recorders. If you use a disc to record on another DVD recorder, then this
disc will no longer be recognised by the Disc Manager. In this case, delete
the disc from the Disc Manager's memory and then add it after it has been
recorded.
