The following will help you to understand easily how to record to 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 playing/recording/editing
requirements. See “DVD disc types” at the bot-
tom of this page for more information on the dif-
ferences among various compatible media.
This DVD recorder can record on the following
type of discs.
* This unit cannot record on the following discs.
• DVD-RW Ver
1.2 / 2-4x CPRM compatible
• DVD-R General Ver 2.0 / 8x
For example, when you want to record repeated-
ly 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.
