DVDs
No
need to worry about recording over a tape.

will automatically record on the
empty
space
of
the disc. So you

have
to
worry
about
mistakenly recording over a
precious memory.
Just select a scene from the index screen.

to
play back. Simply select a scene from
the
index screen and
start
the
playback in a breeze.
