Recording

Before you start recording

Recordings on a DVD+RW disc are called ‘titles.’ Every title consists of one or more chapters.

For more information about how to go to other titles or chapters see ‘Playback - General features.’

Important:

Recordings on a DVD+RW begin at the disc pointer, the point where the last recording stopped. Other recordings may be overwritten without notice, unless the disc is write protected. In this respect, your DVD Recorder behaves just like a Video Cassette Recorder.

If you want to make a recording without the risk of overwriting earlier recordings use the safe Record Function (see ‘Manual Recording - Safe Recording’).

In the Index Picture Screen you can select the point where you want to start your recording. Use w/v (down/up

cursor) and / to select a location on the disc bar at the right of the Index Picture Screen.

Your DVD Recorder always checks the disc that you have inserted:

When a DVD+RW/+R disc is inserted on which recordings have been made, the Index Picture Screen is shown on your TV screen.

If the inserted disc is a completely empty recordable disc, the message EMPTY DISC appears on the display.

If the inserted disc is a DVD+RW disc with a content that is not DVD video compatible (e.g. a data disc), a dialog box is shown with the option to erase or eject the disc.You can only record on this disc after erasing it with the REC.

A disc can hold up to 48 titles (including empty titles). When this maximum is reached, the on-screen message ‘Too many titles’ appears if you want to make a new recording.You have to erase a title first. See ‘Managing Disc Content - Erasing a Title.’

Notes:

-You can not access the system menu while recording.

-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.

-Power interruption to the Recorder while recording on a DVD+R or a unit failure/system crash may destroy all material recorded on the Disc.

Manual recording of a TV channel or from a video camera

Checking input

Normally, the DVD Recorder displays the contents of the current disc on the screen, allowing you to select a place on the disc to start recording. However, if you want to view TV channels, press the MONITOR so that TV programming appears on the TV. In this mode you can choose channels directly with the digit buttons 0-9on the remote control.

Make sure your TV is on the correct Video In channel. Press MONITOR again to return to disc viewing only at the Recorder.
