Before Recording
Media for recording
Recordings can made to the internal hard
disk drive or recordable DVD media
including DVD±R, DVD±R DL and
DVD±RW discs:
– The large capacity of the hard disk
enables longer recording duration and
provides easy access to the titles
recorded.
DVD±RW
(DVD Rewritable)
– Discs that are rewritable can be used
for multiple recordings once the existing
data has been erased.
DVD±R
(DVD Recordable)
– Discs 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 any DVD±R
discs as long as they have not been
fi nalised (except Erase A-B).
– To play a DVD±R on other DVD
player, it must be fi nalised (see the
chapter “Setup Menu Options { Disc }
settings - { Finalise }”). After this is done,
no more data can be added to the disc.
DVD+R DL
(DVD+R Double Layer)
– It contains the same usage as DVD+R,
the only difference is the capacity of 8.5
GB. It offers two recordable layers on a
single DVD disc. The layers are accessible
from the same side of the disc, so
recording can occur completely
uninterrupted.

Helpful Hint:
– If the recordable DVD contains recordings
made on another DVD recorder, you may
not be able to add new recordings.
– It is normal to encounter noise when
recording to discs of higher media speeds.
– Avoid using discs with labels.
