television broadcasts and so on.
You can delete unwanted parts of a title, create playlists, etc.
The broadcasts that allow “One time only recording” can be
recorded to a CPRM compatible disc.

This recording method is the same as commercially available DVD-
Video.
The broadcasts that allow One time only recording” cannot be
recorded even if using a CPRM compatible disc.

other equipment.
+VR (+R/+RW Video Recording) format [+R] [+R]DL] [+RW]
This is a method for recording moving pictures to +R/+RW discs.
You can playback such discs recorded in this method in a similar
way as contents recorded in the DVD-Video format.
The broadcasts that allow One time only recording” cannot be
recorded.
After finalising the disc or creating the top menu, you can play the
disc on DVD players and other equipment.

You cannot directly record to a DVD-R DL and +R DL
disc on this unit.
Record to the HDD and then copy to the disc.
When playing DVD-R DL (Dual Layer, single-sided) and
+R DL (Double Layer, single-sided)
DVD-R DL (Dual Layer, single-sided) and +R DL (Double Layer,
single-sided) discs have two writable layers on one side. If there is
not enough space on the first layer to record a programme, the
remainder is recorded on the second layer. When playing a title
recorded on both layers, the unit automatically switches between
layers and plays the title in the same way as a normal programme.
However, video and audio may momentarily cut out when the unit
is switching layers.
When switching layers:
