➤On the display, BUSY appears with a counter number. Release the 2.

DVD Recorder system notes

DVD+RW and DVD+R discs recorded on your DVD recorder can be played on most DVD players and DVD- ROM drives, with the following issues:

-The time search function will not be available.

-The screen will display twice as many titles as there are on the disc.

This is due to the ‘DVD+RW Video Format Specifications’ and the ‘DVD+R Video Format Specifications.’ It is not a malfunction.

A DVD+RW/+R disc may not play on certain DVD Video players.

A DVD+RW/+R disc recorded on a different type or brand of Recorder can play, but may not provide all features commonly available to it, such as the on-screen disc bar, the disc settings menu, the title settings menu, and editing.

Refer to ‘Adapt disc format.’ If the disc is erase-protected, the status cannot be changed.

When using manual recording, the DVD Recorder will advise you before adapting the format of the disc or removing non-video data (See ‘Before you start recording’). When using timer recording, however,

the DVD Recorder will always start to record, unless the disc is write-protected. Menus, edits and other data recorded on a different device (e.g. a PC) may be lost.

Because of the Variable Bit Rate, a title map takes up less or more space than the overwritten title, even though the duration is the same.As a result, part of the original title may remain, or part of the next title may be lost.The maximum deviation is five minutes.

When you connect a remote control to the IN RC6 Remote Control Input on the back of the Recorder, the first signals from the remote control may be lost.

After a power interruption during recording, the Index Picture Screen may not match the actual video content on the disc.The last recorded title may be lost.
