Chapter 3: Recording, Playback & Features
Playback
To play recordings, do the following:
1. Turn on the TV and the DVD recorder.
2. Make sure the TV is tuned to the correct Video Input Channel (for help, go to page 18).
3. Insert the DVD+R or DVD+RW disc you want to play.
4. Once the DVD recorder reads the disc’s contents, the main menu appears. If the main menu
doesn’t appear, press MENU (the main menu appears).
Notes:
If you selected Autoplay On in the Disc Options menu (page 44), the disc’s title menu appears
automatically when you insert the disc.
If the screen is blank, you might not have your TV tuned to the correct Video Input Channel.
For more information about Video Input Channels, go to page 18.
5. Use the up and down arrow buttons on the remote to highlight the Disc menu, and press OK (the
options appear).
6. There are two ways to access your recordings within these menu options:
Play Disc: If you want to play all of the recordings on the disc (or there is only one recording), just
press OK when this menu is highlighted (the fi rst recording plays).
Disc Title Menu: Press OK when this menu option is highlighted (all of the recordings/titles on the
disc appear). Use the arrow buttons to highlight the title you want to select:
• To watch the program that you’ve highlighted, press PLAY.
• If you want to name the program, delete it, or change the play mode, press OK (the options
appear).
Rename Title: For DVD+RW discs or DVD+R discs which have not been fi nalized.
Play Title: Plays the movie, program or show.
Play Full Title: Can only be selected for DVD+RW discs that may have hidden chapters.
Delete Title: For DVD+RW discs only.
Note: You can delete a title from a DVD+R disc that hasn’t been fi nalized but the
program will still be on the disc. You will not be able to access the program once the
title has been deleted.
Clear Chapters: For DVD+RW discs only.
Disc Information
In addition to providing information about individual titles on the disc, the Disc Title Menu gives you helpful information about the disc itself. After
you’ve inserted the DVD+RW disc or DVD+R disc, select Disc from main menu, highlight Disc Title Menu and press OK.
The picture above is an example of what you’ll see (details are on the next page).
