Before you start recording

Recordings on a DVD disc are called ‘titles’. Every title consists of one or more chapters.

		DVD+RW
	TITLE 1		TITLE 2
CHAPTER 1	CHAPTER 2	CHAPTER 3	CHAPTER 1 CHAPTER 2

For more information about how to go to other titles or chapters see ‘Playback - general features’.

Important:

Recordings on a DVD+RW disc are normally started from the position of the so-called disc pointer, i.e. the point where the last recording was stopped. From there on earlier recordings may be overwritten without notice, unless the disc is write protected. In this respect your DVD recorder behaves just like a Video Cassette Recorder.

If you want to make a recording without the risk of overwriting earlier recordings use the safe Record Function (see Manual Recording - Safe Record)

In the Index Picture Screen you can select the point where you want to start your recording. Use the w v (down up cursor) and 5 REVERSE / 6 FORWARD keys. You can see the the current location on the disc bar, indicated by the arrow.

Your DVD recorder always checks the disc that you have inserted:

‰When a DVD+RW disc is inserted on which recordings have been made, the Index Picture Screen is shown on your TV screen.

‰If the inserted disc is a completely empty recordable disc, the message EMPTY DISC appears, on the display.

‰If the inserted disc is a DVD+RW disc with a content that is not DVD video compatible (e.g. a data disc), a dialog box is shown with the option to erase or eject the disc. You can only record on this disc after erasing it with the RECORD key.

Notes :

-On a disc containing PAL recordings, no NTSC recordings can be made and vice versa. On an empty disc, either type of recordings can be made.

-No recordings can be made from so-called ‘Pseudo-PAL’ or PAL-60 sources.

‰A disc can hold up to 48 titles (including empty titles). When this maximum is reached the on- screen message ‘Too many titles’ appears, if you want to make a new recording. You have to erase a title first next to an empty title. See ‘Managing Disc Content’.
