Record on DVD Recordable Disc
IMPORTANT!
Unrecordable pictures
Television programs, fi lms, video tapes, 
discs, and other materials may be 
copy-protected and therefore cannot be 
recorded on this recorder.
Copying from HDD to a 
recordable DVD
You can copy a recorded title(s) from the 
HDD (hard disk drive) to a recordable 
DVD disc.
The time taken to copy content from the 
HDD to a recordable DVD depends on 
the record quality of the HDD 
recordings.
It is not possible to change the mode of  
record quality during the copying 
process. As such, it is important that you 
choose the appropriate record quality 
when you fi rst set up the recording to 
the HDD.
The copying process is done at a higher
speed than the recording.

Discs for recording
There are several formats of DVD 
recordable discs which can be used with 
this recorder:
 
DVD±RW (DVD ReWritable discs)
– Discs that are rewritable can be used
for multiple recordings once the existing 
data has been erased.
 
DVD±R (DVD Recordable discs)
– Discs that 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 made on DVD±R discs
as long as they have not been fi nalized.
– To play a DVD±R disc on another 
DVD player, it must be fi nalized (see 
“Edit Recordings - Recordable DVD - 
Playing your recordings (DVD ±R, DVD-
RW) on other DVD players”.) After this 
is done, no more content can be added 
to the disc.
TIPS: 
Ensure that there is suffi cient space available on the DVD±R before recording.
You have to fi nalize the DVD±R before it can be played on other players, see “Edit Recordings Recordable 
DVD - Playing your recordings (DVD ±R, DVD-RW) on other DVD players”.
