Disc Library

You can find a show you recorded to disc more quickly by using the DVD recorder’s Disc Library. Everytime you use your DVD recorder to record a program, the DVD recorder assigns the disc a number, and keeps track of what you’ve recorded and when you recorded it. The disc’s library stores the following information about each disc:

•Disc Name and Number

•The number of titles (recordings) on a disc

•Recording space available on a disc

•Name of the title (show, program, movie)

•Date the program was recorded

•Genre of the program (you may need to assign)

•Which disc is loaded (indicated by a round disc symbol next to the title or disc name)

Shows you’ve recorded to a DVD+R or DVD+RW disc are called titles.

Editing the Genre of a Title

Most of the Disc Library’s contents are automatically created if the information is available, but you can add or change the genre when the disc is loaded in the DVD recorder.

1.Insert the DVD+R or DVD+RW disc into the DVD recorder that has the recorded program with the genre information you want to edit.

2.Highlight Disc Library, and press OK. If you want to edit the genre information for one of the recorded programs, use up/down arrow buttons to highlight the program. The round disc should be next to the title, indicating that the disc is loaded in the DVD recorder.

3.Press right arrow (the Sort by Title option is highlighted).

4.Press down arrow until Assign Genre is highlighted, and press OK (a list of genres appears).

5.Use the up/down arrow buttons to highlight a Genre and press OK. It will take about 15 seconds for the DVD recorder to save the information.

Since the Disc Library is saved in the DVD recorder, you have a limited amount of space to keep disc contents. If the Disc Library becomes full, you’ll have to delete some of the discs from the Disc Library to make room.

Finding a title (movie, program, etc) by using the Sort Feature

1.Press MENU (the main menu appears).

2.Press the down arrow button until Disc Library is highlighted, and press OK (a list of titles appears).

3.Press the right arrow button. Each time you press the down arrow button, the next option appears.

Sort by Title

When you press OK with Sort by Title highlighted, the on-screen keyboard appears. Enter the first character of the title you’re trying to find and select Done (the titles starting with that letter appear, with the first in the list highlighted).

Sort by Genre

Lists contents of the disc by the Genre (you may need to assign a genre to recordings). Use the arrow buttons to highlight a Genre, and press OK (all titles that you’ve assigned to that Genre appear).

Sort by Date

Lists contents of the disc by the date recorded.
