Stop recording
Press the STOP button twice.
• With a DVD+R disc, if you do not have another recording to make, you need to "Finalize" the
disc in order that it can be read by other DVD+R compatible players. Closing a DVD+R disc is
described in detail on page 44 (Finalize Disc function). If you do not close a DVD+R disc, it
will still be possible to make other recordings on it later on, providing there is enough disc
space.You can therefore safely store it.You can also erase recordings, but you will lose the
corresponding recording time which cannot be used to record other titles.
• With DVD+RW discs discs this function does not exist. It is replaced by a function that
renders the disc compatible in such cases where you have added or removed chapter
bookmarks using the edit menu. For some players, it is necessary to render the disc compatible
even though you haven’t carried out modifications to the chapters.
Note: if you only press once on the STOP key, the confirmation window appears. Press a second time to
definitively stop the recording or select continue using the and OK keys. At the end of each recording, your
DTH 8005 takes a few seconds to prepare the start menu of the disc. This menu is formed from
representative images from each title. To view a recording, see page 42.
