MANUAL RECORDINGS
51
General information
Use the
manual recording
function to spontaneously start recording (e.g.
to record a TV show already in progress). Select the title to be overwritten
or an empty title in the index picture screen.
If you want to record between existing recordings, check the length of the
old recording and the length of the new recording. If the new recording is
too long, the following recording (title/chapter) will be overwritten.
The following sections will inform you about the different possibilities of
manual recordings:
•
Selecting the input source
•
Inserting chapter markers
•
Selecting the recording mode (quality)
•
Recording without automatic switch-off:
to start and stop a recording
manually.
•
Recording with automatic switch-off:
to start a recording manually but
stop it automatically.
•
Displaying information during recording
•
Interrupt recordings (Pause)
Which discs can be used for recordings?
With this DVD recorder you can record on two types of DVD:
•
DVD+RW:
This disc can be written to several times and then the contents
can be deleted.
•
DVD+R:
This type of disc can only be recorded once. If you want to play
this disc in a DVD player, it must be finalized using the
“Finalize disc”
function. Once the disc is finalized, it is not possible to make further
recordings or changes using this disc.
If this disc is to be played in a DVD recorder, it must not be finalized.
Recordings can be added and deleted. However, the disc space (play-
back time) from the deleted recording cannot be recovered for further
recordings.
Note:
For DVD+R discs each new recording is always added at the end of all pre-
vious recordings, as existing recordings cannot be overwritten.
