One-Touch Recording 41

1 Insert a recordable DVD+RW or DVD+R into the Recorder.

2 In the Index Picture Screen of a DVD+RW, press CH+8 or CH-9to select an Empty Title (or empty Index Picture box) on the Disc that has enough time for the recording. Or, select the place at which you want to start the new recording in order to overwrite other recordings. See page 48.

You may skip this step if you use Safe Record. See step 5.

Or, if you are using a DVD+R, you may skip this step. Recordings on a DVD+R are made at the end of the Disc automatically. Previous recordings are not overwritten.

3 Press MONITOR to see TV channels through the DVD Recorder. Make sure you have programmed channels. See page 26.

4 Press CH+8, CH-9, or the Number buttons to select the channel you wish to record.

If you are using a Cable Box/Satellite Receiver, enter channel 3 or 4 (the output channel of your Cable Box/Satellite Receiver) or the EXT channel (that corresponds to the jacks to which you connected the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver). Set the channel you want to record at the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver. Leave it on for the recording.

5 Press REC/OTR I twice to start a 30-minute recording. Press REC/OTR I repeatedly to record longer timed recordings. The length of recording available depends on the cur- rent recording mode/speed and the amount of time available on the Disc. Recording mode/speed details are on page 49. Recording will begin about 30 seconds after you press REC/OTR I. (The Disc takes this time to prepare for recording.)

Or, use Safe Record to have the DVD Recorder automatically find the empty space at the end of a DVD+RW; this prevents overwriting other recordings.To do so, press and hold REC/OTR I for about two seconds, or until SAFE REC appears on the Recorder’s display panel.Then, press REC/OTR I repeatedly to choose the time length you want for your recording.

If you press REC/OTR I only once, or press and hold REC/OTR I one time and immediately start Safe Record, the Recorder will record the current channel or source until the end of the Disc is reached.The Recorder will turn off automatically.

6 Press STOP C if you need to stop the recording before the designated end time. Otherwise, the Recorder will automatically stop recording at the designated end time and turn itself off.

●If you plan to play a DVD+R on another DVD Player, finalize the Disc. Follow the steps on page 52.

●To edit your recordings, see page 51. However, editing changes may not be accessible when you play the Disc on other DVD Players.

●To erase a recording, see “Erase this title” details on page 47.
