Copying content to DVD is a great

®way to archive your video tapes. First, record the video tape content to Now Playing (see page 25 for details) and then copy the saved content to DVD.

when you are finished. If only copying one program or if all programs have the same name, you are offered a default name.

If you go to another screen, or to live TV, pressing the DVD button returns you to the status screen. If copying to DVD causes disk space conflicts, you will be notified and given the option to continue or cancel.

You can cancel a Copy to DVD that is in process. You will be notified whether the disc can be re-used (DVD-RW) or not (DVD-R).

Finalizing the disc

9.All DVDs are automatically finalized at the end of the DVD copying process. Finalizing means:

•A title is created for each program copied. Chapter marks are placed every 5 minutes. You cannot turn chapter marks off.

•A DVD “Disc” menu is created that lists the title of each program on the disc.

•DVDs you create have no DVD Parental Controls rating, so they cannot be blocked by Parental Controls unless Parental Controls are set to block all DVDs. See page 55 for details.

•The closed captioning of the original program is maintained.

10.After the DVD is finalized, it appears in the on-screen menus just as any other finished DVD would. A DVD-RW disc can be used again, but if you re-use it all of the programs on it will be erased.
