Recording

Before you start recording

Recordings on a disc are started from the position of the
so-called disc pointer, i.e. the point where the last
recording was stopped. From there on earlier recordings
may be overwritten without notice, unless the disc is
write protected. In this respect your DVD recorder
behaves just like a Video Cassette Recorder.
In the Index Picture Screen you can select the point
where you want to start your recording. Use the w v
(down up cursor) and 5 REVERSE / 6 FORWARD
keys. You can see the the current location on the disc
bar, indicated by the arrow.
Your DVD recorder always checks the disc that you
have inserted:
When a DVD+RW disc is inserted on which
recordings have been made, the Index Picture
Screen is shown on your TV screen.
If the inserted disc is a completely empty
recordable disc, the message EMPTY DISC appears
on the display.
If the inserted disc is a DVD+RW disc with a
content that is not DVD video compatible (e.g. a
data disc), a dialog box is shown with the option to
erase or eject the disc. You can only record on this
disc after erasing it with the RECORD key.
Note: On a disc containing PAL recordings, no NTSC
recordings can be made and vice versa. On an empty disc,
either type of recordings can be made.

A disc can hold up to 48 titles (including empty
titles). When this maximum is reached the on-
screen message 'Too many titles' appears, if you
want to make a new recording. You have to erase a
title first next to an empty title. See 'Managing Disc
Content'.

number that you have chosen for video playback
