HOW TO USE THE HDD & DVD RECORDER

Step 1: Select the disc type or HDD

Please check available disc type before recording.

If you want to repeatedly record on the same disc or you want to edit the disc after recording, select a rewritable DVD±RW or DVD-RAM type disc. If you want to save a recording without any changes, choose a non-rewritable DVD±R. You can record files directly to the built-in HDD or edit a recorded file.

Unlike a VCR, the HDD & DVD RECORDER automatically starts formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the preparation of recording on a disc.
