All sound signals are recorded in stereo when you record to the hard disk or DVD. By pressing the HDD/DVD button on the remote control you choose between the two recording modes: D V D : To record to DVDs; H D D : To record to the hard disk. In hard disk operation the hard disk indicator on the front of the device lights up. You can only record DVDs to the hard disk if they were recorded on this device! Manual recording You can playback and write the following disk formats with your DVD/ HDD recorder. Writable formats: The device can write blank DVD+R and DVD+RW discs. Readable formats: The device can read DVD Video, SVCD, DVD+RW, DVD+R, CD-R, DVD-RW, DVD-R, CD-RW, Audio-CD, MP3, JPEG, DivX and MPEG4 formats. We cannot guarantee that DVDs you have written will be playable on other DVD devices. Please refer to "Finalise DVD", Page 52 on this. Formatting discs To record to an unused DVD+R or DVD+RW you first have to format the blank DVD in the recorder's drive. After you have inserted a blank DVD and the recorder has started the read process, a query as to whether the disc is to be formatted is displayed. This process is frequently also called initialising. Formatting usually takes around 1 minute. To start confirm the OK entry by pressing ENTER. You can also open this function via the D I S C > F o r m a t D i s c menu. DVD-/HDD-RECORDER ­ MD 80857 31 RECORDING TO DVD/HARD DISK Memory media: DVD+RW, DVD+R and hard disk DVD+RW DVD+RWs can be written and deleted again but repeated recording and deleting worsens the recording quality. Please also note that you can delete a title on a DVD+RW but the memory space freed up can only be used in consecutive blocks. The following graphic shows as an example that Title1 has been recorded and this takes up 20% of the DVD's memory capacity. In the second example, Title2 was recorded and this takes up 30% of the memory capacity. If, as in the third example, the first title is deleted the memory space is only available from the end of the second title, i. e. 50%. It may not be possible to record to a DVD+RW that already contains recordings from another DVD/HDD recorder or a computer. [. . . ] Check on the DVD cover or in the DVD menu whether the selected language is actually available on the DVD. Some DVDs disable the SKIP function for certain titles or chapters. Only a few discs allow camera angles to be selected and usually only for selected scenes on any one DVD. Check the audio settings in the SETUP menu: has the correct sound format been selected? SKIP function does not work The camera angle cannot be changed. You have forgotten the password. [. . . ]
