Disc Library
You can easily see find a show you recorded by using the DVD Recorder’s Disc Library.
Everytime you use your DVD Recorder to record a program, the DVD Recorder assigns
the disc a number, and keeps track of what you’ve recorded and when you recorded it.
The disc’s library stores the following information about each disc and the recordings on
the disc:
• Disc Name and Number
• The number of titles (recordings) on a disc
• Available recording space available on a disc
• Name of the title (show, program, movie)
• Date the program was recorded
• Genre of the program (you must assign)
Editing the Disc Library’s Contents
Most of the Disc Library’s contents are automatically created if the information is available,
but you can edit the information by using the on-screen keyboard.
1. Insert the DVD+R or DVD+RW disc into the DVD Recorder that has the show
recording with the information you want to edit.
2. Highlight Disc Library, and press OK (the default listing shows the titles you recorded
most recently at the top of the list). If you want to edit information for one of the
shows you see, use up/down arrow buttons to highlight it.
3 . Press right arrow (the Sort by Title option is highlighted).
4 . Press down arrow until Assign Genre is highlighted, and press OK (a list of genres
appears).
5 . Use the up/down arrow buttons to highlight a Genre and press OK. It will take about
15 seconds for the DVD Recorder to save the information to the Disc Library.
Since the Disc Library is saved in the DVD Recorder, you have a limited amount of space
to keep disc contents. If the Disc Library becomes full, you’ll have to delete some of the
discs to make room.The memory should hold approximately 500 titles assuming an
average of 5 titles per disc.
Note:You can also edit the Disc’s Name.
