The following will help you to understand easily how to record to DVD discs.
Note:
Make sure batteries are in the remote control and you have connected this unit and the TV correctly.
Step 1: Choose a disc type
There are several types of recordable DVD discs to
choose from. Choose a recordable DVD disc type
based on your playing/recording/editing reguire-
ments. See "DVD disc types" at the bottom of this
page for more information on the differences
between the different kinds of compatible media.
This DVD recorder can record on the following
type of discs.
For example, when you want to record repeatedly
on the same disc, or when you want to edit the disc
after recording, select the rewritable DVD-RW type
disc.
When you want to save recordings without any
alteration, a non-rewritable DVD-R can be your
choice.
