About the Teletext function
Some broadcasts systems ensure a Teletext service* in which the
complete programmes and their data (title, date, channel,
recording start time etc.) are stored day by day. When recording
a programme, the recorder automatically takes the programme
name from the Teletext pages and stores it as the title name. For
details, see “TV Guide Page” (page 79).
Before you start…
• Check that the disc has enough available space for the
recording (page 21).
• When recording a bilingual programme on a DVD+RW,
DVD-R, or DVD-RW (Video mode), you cannot record both
sound tracks. Select the sound track, main or sub using the
Options Setup Display (page 82).
• Adjust the recording picture quality and picture size if
necessary (page 30).
