Getting started
The following will help you to understand easily how to record to DVD discs.
Note:
Make	sure	batteries	are	in	the	remote	control	and	you	have	connected	this	unit	and	the	TV	correctly.
Step 1: Choose a disc type.
There	are	several	types	of	recordable	DVD	discs	to	
choose	from.	Choose	a	recordable	DVD	disc	type	
based	on	your	playing/recording/editing	require-
ments.	See	“DVD	disc	types”	at	the	bottom	of	
this	page	for	more	information	on	the	differences	
between	the	different	kinds	of	compatible	media.
This unit can record on the following type of 
discs.
For example, when you want to record repeat-
edly on the same disc, or when you want to
edit the disc after recording, select the rewrit-
able DVD-RW type disc.
When you want to save recordings without 
any alteration, a non-rewritable DVD-R can be
your choice.
Step 2: Insert a blank disc.
