nected while recording, editing, ini-
tializing, finalizing or any other func-
tion, the program being recorded will
be lost or the disc may not be play-
able. Manufacturer can not guaran-
tee against loss of program or disc
should this occur. To start recording
again, re-format the disc or use a

ing poor TV reception.

cordings of still images or just au-
dio.
