Read this before recording on disc

This section explains information on disc before recording. Read it before attempting to record.

NOTE:

If a power failure occurs or the AC cord plug is disconnected, the pro- gram being recorded will be lost, or the disc may not be playable when perform recording, editing, initializ- ing, finalizing or any other function. Manufacturer cannot guarantee the loss of program or disc occurrence. To start recording again, re-format the disc or use a new disc and follow the instruction on recording.

NOTES:

Recording time can change for the following reasons.

When image quality is poor as dur- ing poor TV reception.

When recording on a disc that has been edited before.

When the video is followed with re- cordings of still images or just au- dio.

• Recording time above is based on a 4.7GB disc.

To know the correct recording time, stop recording and check the me- dia information. (See page 33.)

Disc remaining time

VR mode

Recording is possible as long as there is available space on the disc. (Finalized discs can be recorded by cancelling the finalization, see “Undo Finalize” on page 30.)

Erasing unnecessary title frees up available space on the disc. (Titles can be erased from finalized discs by cancelling the finalization. See “Undo Finalize” on page 30.)

NOTE:

Because of characteristics peculiar to digital video compression technol- ogy, scenes with fast motion may appear as a matrix of larger blocks.

The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs and other materials, is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and/or criminal liability.
