Discs for recording

For recording with this DVD recorder system, you can use 2 different types of DVD discs.These discs are marked with the logos shown below.

–DVD+RW

can be recorded on, erased and re-recorded many times and played on DVD+RW compatible DVD players and DVD recorders.

–DVD+R

can be recorded on once. Recordings can be added and deleted. However, the

position of a deleted recording cannot be used for further recordings again. If the

DVD+R is to be played on this DVD recorder system only, it does not have to be finalised. For playing the DVD+R on other standard DVD players and DVD recorders, it has to be finalised. Once a DVD+R has been finalised, no further recordings can be made.

The DVD recorder system is designed to record video on DVD+Rs and DVD+RWs.You cannot record (Super) Video CDs, audio CDs or MP3-CDs on this set.

Copyright protection

When you try to record copy protected material from an external appliance, COPY PROT will be displayed. No recording is possible then.

This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorised by Macrovision, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorised by Macrovision. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.

Recording is permissible insofar as copyright or other rights of third parties are not infringed upon.

In some countries the use of the DVD recorder system as shown or suggested in this user manual may require the authorisation of copyright holders.

Before you start recording

For each recording on a DVD+RW or DVD+R disc, the following information will be stored automatically:

–Name of the recording: If a TV station transmits the name of a programme (e.g. Superman), it will be stored automatically. If the programme’s name is not transmitted, the channel number or channel name and the time when recording has been started will be stored as the name of the recording.

–Total recording time–Record type (Quality)–Date of the recording–Index picture of the recording

Recordings on a DVD disc are called “titles”. Each title consists of one or more “chapters”.

Recording on a DVD+RW disc starts at the current position on the disc. i. e. where you stopped playback or recording the last time.Titles you have recorded earlier may be overwritten without notice. If you insert a disc, recording will start at the beginning of the disc! In this respect your DVD recorder system behaves just like a Video Cassette Recorder. If you want to make a recording without the risk of overwriting earlier recordings, use the function safe record (see chapter “Safe record”).

Notes:

If you insert a disc that already contains the maximum of 48 titles (including empty titles): Too many titles is displayed.You can only record on this disc after erasing one or more titles.

If you insert a DVD+RW the contents of which are not DVD video compatible (e.g. a data disc): A dialogue box appears with the option to erase or eject the disc.You can only record on this disc after erasing it by using REC/OTR.

On a disc containing PAL recordings, no NTSC recordings can be made and vice versa. On an empty disc, either type of recordings can be made.

No recordings can be made from so-called “Pseudo-PAL” or PAL-60 sources.

Recording sound without a picture is not possible.
