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 playback/recording/editing
needs. See "DVD disc types" at the bottom of this
page for more information on the differences
among various compatible media.
This DVD recorder can record on the fol-
lowing 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.

Format the disc
When inserting a disc that
has already been recorded
on, you can delete those
contents by formatting that
disc.
Formatting is only neces-
sary to prepare disc pre-
viously recorded on for
recording.
Details are on pages 28-
29.
When you format a disc, the
entire contents on that disc
will be erased.
• The unit automatically
starts initializing when a
brand new disc is inserted.
