Record on Recordable DVD

IMPORTANT!
Unrecordable pictures
Television programmes, fi lms, video
tapes, discs, and other materials may be
copy-protected and therefore cannot be
recorded on this recorder.
Copying from HDD to a
recordable DVD
You can copy a recorded title(s) from the
HDD (hard disk drive) to a recordable
DVD.
The time taken to copy content from the
HDD to a recordable DVD depends on
the record quality of the HDD
recordings.
It is not possible to change the mode of
record quality during the copying
process. As such, it is important that you
choose the appropriate record quality
when you fi rst set up the recording to
the HDD.
The copying process is done at a higher
speed than the recording. The following
information will be stored on the disc :
– Title/name of recording
– Date of recording
– Time of recording
– Record quality mode/ length of
recording
– Index picture of title
TIPS: Ensure that there is suffi cient space available on the DVD±R before recording. You have to fi nalise the
DVD±R before it can be played on other players, see "Edit Recordings – Recordable DVD".

Discs for recording

There are several formats of recordable
DVD discs which can be used with this
recorder:
DVD±RW (ReWritable DVD discs)
– Discs that are rewritable can be used
for multiple recordings once the existing
data has been erased.
DVD±R (Recordable DVD discs)
– Discs that can only be used for a single
recording. Each new recording is always
added at the end of all previous
recordings as existing recordings cannot
be overwritten.
– Editing can be made on DVD±R discs
as long as they have not been fi nalised.
– To play a DVD±R disc on another
DVD player, it must be fi nalised [see the
section "Playing your recordings on
other DVD players (DVD±R only)"].
After this is done, no more content can
be added to the disc.
