Recording
This recorder can record TV
programmes or copy content from an
external device to a DVD recordable disc
or VHS tape. The storage capacity of the
disc and tape are dependable on the
recording mode selected. This recorder
also incorporates timer recording
function which allows a scheduled
recording to be made.
Recording media
The recording media for this recorder
are DVD±R/±RW/+R DL and VHS tape.
DVD±RW (DVD Rewritable)
– Discs that are rewritable can be used for
multiple recordings once the existing data
is 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 done on DVD±R discs as
long as they have not been fi nalised.
– To playback a DVD±R on other DVD
player, it must be fi nalised (see the
chapter “Editing/ Finalising Recording –
Playing your recordings (DVD±R) on
other DVD players”). 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 Hints:
– It is normal to encounter noise when
recording to discs of higher media speeds.
– Avoid using discs with labels.
VHS Tape
– VHS tapes have record safety tabs to
ensure that recordings will not be
accidentally erased. To prevent
recording, break off the tab. To allow
recording, cover the hole of the tab with
clear tape.
– Without the record safety tab, the VHS
tape will start playback once your insert
the VHS tape into the tape slot.
– The VCR automatically marks the tape
with an index signal at the point where
each recording begins.
