➠ This recorder cannot write to CD-R or CD-RW discs.
➠ This recorder cannot write data discs (e.g. no MP or JPEG files).
➠ The displayed recording time is not exact because the recorder uses a vari-
able bit rate video compression. This means that the exact recording time
depends on the contents being recorded.
➠ When recording a television broadcast the remaining recording time may be
shorter if the reception is poor or the picture contains interference.
➠ If you record only still pictures or audio, the recording time may be longer.
➠ The displayed recording time and remaining time may not always add up to
the total length of the disc.
➠ The available recording time may be shorter following intensive editing of the
disc.
➠ If you use a DVD-R disc you can continue recording until the disc is full or
until you finalize it. Before you start recording check how much recording
time is available on the disc.
➠ If you use a DVD-RW disc in video mode, the available recording time is
extended again when you delete the last title recorded on the disc.
➠ The Delete Parts function (page 57) only hides the title but does not delete
it from the disc and does not extend the recording time (except for the last
recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in video mode).
➠ Overwrite recording is only possible on DVD+RW discs (Page 64).
