Record on DVD Recordable Disc
IMPORTANT!
Unrecordable pictures
Television programs, fi lms, video tapes,
discs, and other materials may be
copy-protected and therefore cannot be
recorded on this recorder.
Copying from HDD to a
recordable DVD
You can copy a recorded title(s) from the
HDD (hard disk drive) to a recordable
DVD disc.
The time taken to copy content from the
HDD to a recordable DVD depends on
the record quality of the HDD
recordings.
It is not possible to change the mode of
record quality during the copying
process. As such, it is important that you
choose the appropriate record quality
when you fi rst set up the recording to
the HDD.
The copying process is done at a higher
speed than the recording.

Discs for recording
There are several formats of DVD
recordable discs which can be used with
this recorder:
DVD±RW
(DVD ReWritable discs)
– Discs that are rewritable can be used
for multiple recordings once the existing
data has been erased.
DVD±R
(DVD Recordable discs)
– Discs that can only be used for a single
recording. Each new recording is always
added at the end of all previous
recordings as existing recordings cannot
be overwritten.
– Editing can be made on DVD±R discs
as long as they have not been fi nalized.
– To play a DVD±R disc on another
DVD player, it must be fi nalized (see
“Edit Recordings - Recordable DVD -
Playing your recordings (DVD ±R, DVD-
RW) on other DVD players”.) After this
is done, no more content can be added
to the disc.
TIPS:
Ensure that there is suffi cient space available on the DVD±R before recording.
You have to fi nalize the DVD±R before it can be played on other players, see “Edit Recordings Recordable
DVD - Playing your recordings (DVD ±R, DVD-RW) on other DVD players”.
