The following will help you to understand easily how to record on DVD discs.
Note:
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 recording, select
the rewritable DVD-RW type disc.
When you want to save recordings without
any alteration, a non-rewritable DVD-R can
be your choice.
