Copy from Hard Disk to recordable DVD

English

IMPORTANT!

It is not possible to record the TV programmes or the scheduled timer programmes directly to a recordable DVD. You can only record it to the HDD and then copy to a recordable DVD.

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

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. The maximum copying speed is up to 2x. You cannot shorten the time required for recoding even with high-speed discs.

Discs for recording

Three 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.

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 players, it must be finalised (see page 72). 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- 8.5GB. 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.

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 72.
