Which discs can I use for recording?
With this DVD recorder, you can record on two types of DVD:
DVD+RW
This disc can be written to and then the contents deleted.
DVD+R
This type of disc can only be recorded once.
If you want to play this DVD in a DVD player it must be finalised using the
'Finalise disc' function. It is not possible to make further recordings using
this disc.
If this disc is to be played in a DVD recorder it must not be finalised.
Recordings can be added and deleted. The disc space (playback time) from the	?
deleted recording cannot be recovered for further recordings

Use the 'Manual recording' function to spontaneously start recording (e.g. to record a TV show already in progress).

In the 'index display' select the title to be overwritten or 'Empty title' with B , A .

If you insert recordings between existing recordings, check the lengths of the old and new recordings. If the new recording is too long the subsequent recording (title/chapter) will be overwritten.

	Insert new recordings at the end of all existing recordings (Safe
	Record)
	To add a new recording at the end of the last recording on the disc, hold
	down the REC/OTR n button until the message '￿￿￿￿ ￿￿￿' appears on the
	display.
	For DVD+R discs each new recording is always added at the end of all
	previous recordings as existing recordings cannot be overwritten.
