EDITING YOUR RECORDINGS
Editing Overview

Deletes the currently selected Title. The functionality of this option is different with DVD+R & DVD+RW discs.

You can use this option multiple times, moving a DVD+RW disc back and forth between the DVD Recorder and a standard DVD player. Each time a disc is edited, it must be made compatible again.
