grammes.
Recording will start immediately and will continue
until the disc is full or you stop the recording.
Switch the recorder on and insert a writable disc.
Using the DVD-AV/ button, switch the
recorder input to the signal source that you wish

fi rst initialised automatically by the recorder (see

If you wish to record a TV programme, use the
P+ / P- buttons to select a television programme

comes on in the DVD recorder‘s display window.)
