Record on DVD Recordable Disc

IMPORTANT!

You can only copy the recorded titles in the hard disk drive of this recorder to a recordable DVD.

Direct recording from the TV programmes or external input source to a recordable DVD is not possible.

Copy protected (Copy-Once or Copy-Never) movies and DVD Videos cannot be copied to the HDD.

Discs for recording

Two different types of DVD recordable discs can be used with this recorder:

DVD±RW (DVD Rewritable)

Discs that are re-writable can be used for multiple recordings once existing data is erased.

About copying

You can copy a recorded title from the HDD (hard disk drive) to a recordable DVD.

The time required for copying from HDD to a recordable DVD depends on the recording mode of the HDD recordings. It is not possible to change the recording mode for the copying process. It is therefore important that you choose the appropriate recording mode when you set up the recording to the HDD.

The copying process is done at a higher speed than the recording.

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.

You can also delete unwanted recordings. However, the disc space occupied by the deleted recordings cannot be recovered for further recording.

To play a DVD±R disc on other DVD player, it must be finalised (see page 53). After this is done, no more data can be added to the disc.

The following information will be stored on the disc :

Recording mode

Title/name of recording

Date and time of recording

Index picture of title

TIPS: Ensure that there is sufficient space available on the recordable DVD before recording. You have to finalise the DVD±R before it can be played on other players, see page 53.
