fine, but the recording on the DVD recordable disc is faulty.

This interference is unavoidable with copy-protected DVDs or

video cassettes.

– The DVD recordable disc has a limited recording lifetime, please

change a new disc for recording.

– The requested action requires that the time shift buffer

(temporary HDD storage) to be cleared. All contents that were
not marked for recording will be deleted.

– You have to reformat the HDD again.

– The titles that were previously recorded will be deleted and the

space used for recording cannot be re-used. The disc can be
used as a normal blank disc. You have to re-copy the files to the
disc again.
