Getting started
Easy DVD recording
The following will help you to understand easily how to record on DVD discs.
Make sure batteries are in the remote control and you have connected this unit and the TV correctly.
Step 1: Choose a disc type.
There are several types of recordable DVD
discs to choose from. Choose a recordable
DVD disc type based on your playback /
recording / editing needs. See “DVD disc
types” at the bottom of this page for more
information on the differences among
various compatible media.
This unit can record on the following
type of discs.
For example, when you want to record
repeatedly on the same disc or when
you want to edit the disc after record-
ing, select the rewritable DVD-RW
type disc.
When you want to save recordings
without any alteration, a non-rewri-
table DVD-R can be your choice.
Step 2: Insert a blank disc.
