General
Which discs can I use for recording?
With this DVD recorder, you can record on two types of DVD:
DVD+RW
This disc can be written to and then the contents deleted.
DVD+R
This type of disc can only be recorded once.
If you want to play this DVD in a DVD player it must be finalized using the "Finalise
disc" function. It is not possible to make further recordings using this disc.
If this disc is to be played in a DVD recorder it must not be finalised.
Recordings can be added and deleted. The disc space (playback time) from the
deleted recording cannot be recovered for further recordings
Use the "Manual recording" function to spontaneously start recording (e.g. to record a
TV show already in progress).
In the "index display" select the title to be overwritten or "Empty title" with w, v.
If you insert recordings between existing recordings, check the lengths of the old and
new recordings. If the new recording is too long the subsequent recording (title/chap-
ter) will be overwritten.
Insert new recordings at the end of all existing recordings (Safe Record)
To add a new recording at the end of the last recording on the disc, hold down the
REC S button until the message "SAFE REC" appears on the display.
For DVD+R discs each new recording is always added at the end of all previous
recordings as existing 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.
Please refer to section "Recording without automatic switch-off ", if you want to
manually start and stop your own recording.
If you want to start a recording manually but have it stopped automatically, read the
section "Recording with automatic switch-off ". (e.g. not to record to the end of
the disc)
Read the section "Direct record" if you want to record a programme currently
being shown.
