Recording

English

This recorder can record TV programmes or copy content from an external device to a DVD recordable disc or VHS tape. The storage capacity of the disc and tape are dependable on the recording mode selected. This recorder also incorporates timer recording function which allows a scheduled recording to be made.

Recording media

The recording media for this recorder are DVD±R/±RW/+R DL and VHS tape.

DVD±RW (DVD Rewritable)

–Discs that are rewritable can be used for multiple recordings once the existing data is erased.

DVD±R (DVD Recordable)

–Discs can only be used for a single recording. Each new recording is always added at the end of all previous recordings as existing recordings cannot be overwritten.

–Editing can be done on DVD±R discs as long as they have not been finalised.

–To playback a DVD±R on other DVD player, it must be finalised (see the chapter “Editing/ Finalising Recording – Playing your recordings (DVD±R) on other DVD players”). After this is done, no more data can be added to the disc.

DVD+R DL (DVD+R Double Layer)

–It contains the same usage as DVD+R, the only difference is the capacity of 8.5 GB. It offers two recordable layers on a single DVD disc. The layers are accessible from the same side of the disc, so recording can occur completely uninterrupted.

VHS Tape

–VHS tapes have record safety tabs to ensure that recordings will not be accidentally erased. To prevent recording, break off the tab. To allow recording, cover the hole of the tab with clear tape.

–Without the record safety tab, the VHS tape will start playback once your insert the VHS tape into the tape slot.

–The VCR automatically marks the tape with an index signal at the point where each recording begins.
