Recording
Before you start recording
Recordings on a DVD+RW disc are called ‘titles.’ Every 
title consists of one or more chapters. 
For more information about how to go to other titles or 
chapters see ‘Playback - General features.
Important:
Recordings on a DVD+RW begin at the disc 
pointer, the point where the last recording 
stopped. Other recordings may be overwritten 
without notice, unless the disc is write protected. 
In this respect, your DVD Recorder behaves just 
like a Video Cassette Recorder.
If you want to make a recording without the risk of 
overwriting earlier recordings use the safe Record 
Function (see ‘Manual Recording - Safe Recording’).
In the Index Picture Screen you can select the point where 
you want to start your recording. Use w/v (down/up 
cursor) and 
/
 to select a location on the disc bar at 
the right of the Index Picture Screen.
Your DVD Recorder always checks the disc that you have 
inserted:
➤ When a DVD+RW/+R disc is inserted on which 
recordings have been made, the Index Picture Screen 
is shown on your TV screen.
➤ If the inserted disc is a completely empty 
recordable disc, the message EMPTY DISC appears on 
the display.
➤ If the inserted disc is a DVD+RW disc with a 
content that is not DVD video compatible (e.g. a data 
disc), a dialog box is shown with the option to erase 
or eject the disc. You can only record on this disc after 
erasing it with the REC
A disc can hold up to 48 titles (including empty titles). 
When this maximum is reached, the on-screen message 
‘Too many titles’ appears if you want to make a new 
recording. You have to erase a title first. See ‘Managing 
Disc Content - Erasing a Title.’
Notes: 
- You can not access the system menu while recording.
- On a disc containing PAL recordings, no NTSC recordings can 
be made and vice versa. On an empty disc, either type of 
recordings can be made.
- No recordings can be made from so-called ‘Pseudo-PAL’ or 
PAL-60 sources.
- Power interruption to the Recorder while recording on a 
DVD+R or a unit failure/system crash may destroy all material 
recorded on the Disc.
Manual recording of a TV channel 
or from a video camera
Checking input
Normally, the DVD Recorder displays the contents of the 
current disc on the screen, allowing you to select a place 
on the disc to start recording. However, if you want to 
view TV channels, press the MONITOR so that TV 
programming appears on the TV. In this mode you can 
choose channels directly with the digit buttons 0-9 on the 
remote control.
Make sure your TV is on the correct Video In channel. 
Press MONITOR again to return to disc viewing only at 
the Recorder.
