MANUAL RECORDINGS

General information

Which discs can be used for recordings?

With this DVD recorder you can record on two types of DVD:

•DVD+RW: This disc can be written to several times and then the contents can be deleted.

•DVD+R: This type of disc can only be recorded once. If you want to play this disc in a DVD player, it must be finalized using the “Finalize disc” function. Once the disc is finalized, it is not possible to make further recordings or changes using this disc.

If this disc is to be played in a DVD recorder, it must not be finalized. Recordings can be added and deleted. However, the disc space (play- back time) from the deleted recording cannot be recovered for further recordings.

Use the manual recording function to spontaneously start recording (e.g. to record a TV show already in progress). Select the title to be overwritten or an empty title in the index picture screen.

If you want to record between existing recordings, check the length of the old recording and the length of the new recording. If the new recording is too long, the following recording (title/chapter) will be overwritten.

Note:

For DVD+R discs each new recording is always added at the end of all pre- vious recordings, as existing recordings cannot be overwritten.

The following sections will inform you about the different possibilities of manual recordings:

•Selecting the input source

•Inserting chapter markers

•Selecting the recording mode (quality)

•Recording without automatic switch-off: to start and stop a recording manually.

•Recording with automatic switch-off: to start a recording manually but stop it automatically.

•Displaying information during recording

•Interrupt recordings (Pause)
