Recording functions

Stop recording

Press the STOP button twice.

With a DVD+R disc, if you do not have another recording to make, you need to "Finalize" the disc in order that it can be read by other DVD+R compatible players. Closing a DVD+R disc is described in detail below. If you do not close a DVD+R disc, it will still be possible to make other recordings on it later on, providing there is enough disc space.You can therefore safely store it.You can also erase recordings, but you will lose the corresponding recording time which cannot be used to record other titles.

With DVD+RW discs this function does not exist. It is replaced by a function that renders the disc compatible in such cases where you have added or removed chapter bookmarks using the edit menu. For some players, it is necessary to render the disc compatible even though you haven’t carried out modifications to the chapters.

Note: if you only press once on the STOP key, the confirmation window appears. Press a second time to definitively stop the recording or select continue using the and OK keys. At the end of each recording, your DVD recorder takes a few seconds to prepare the start menu of the disc. This menu is formed from representative images from each title. To view a recording, see page 54.
