How do I record over a +rw disk while the disk is in the recorder? Thanks for your help!

I dont us +RW. I use -R (permanent) and -RW (rerecord). You can try to delete or erase what is on disk and record. Make sure you dont want old programs anymore. Your user manual should explain all this. Good luck! JD

I'm sorry for your trouble but you must hit menu and formate disk before an RW can be recorded on, but I wouldn't count on it. I have a DR420 and a 430 and its been some time sence mine would formate my -RW disk and I have 6 left. Also I was recording "Play Misty For Me" on Encore Suspence and they stopped the DVD recording and I put in a tape in my VCR and hit record and the tape ejected. I know Dish Network and these movie channels are reprogramming these units to prevent recording, I've operated a VCR service center for 35 years and they are overiding the system programming.

Well you don't "record over" on a dvd recorder (it's not like video tape). You can press the "top menu" button on the remote. Then you delete an existing recording to make more room for new recordings.

HiOur units record continuously but in segments, until SD card is full the loops to record over what was previously recorded. Thank you Darren Brock

I can't find any way to do that. It seems to be set up to only record audio while recording video.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand the question. I have used this to record Blu-Ray disks with no difficulty without having to modify the recording other than to choose the recording speed which I set at slow. Sorry I can't help more - but I am very pleased with this unit. No troubles of any kind as opposed to others I've had.

Not sure about your first question, since I always start manually. But regarding the second, is it possible you haven't "connected" the recorder-- that is, clicked on "USB" in the main menu of File Manager Software and then clicked on "Connect Recorder"?

FYIThe Toshiba DR400 manual says it will record content at the correct (source) aspect on DVD-RW but "always at 4:3 on DVR+RW/ +R."Go figure. Might be something to look into.

If you record on a DVD+R,DVD-RW,or DVD-R disc, you have to finalize the disc to play them back on other machines. This procedure is explained on pages 54 and 55 of the owners manual. You begin by pressing setup on the remote,select disc edit then press OK,use up/down arrows to select finalize then press OK,use up/down arrows to select yes then press OK. It will take several minutes to complete the process and you can monitor it with the display at the bottom of the screen. After the display shows 100%,the display will disappear and the disc will be finalized. If you record on DVD+RW disc, you do not have to finalize the disc. The DVD+RW disc can also be erased and recorded on many times. You can find this information on page 80 of the owners manual.

If by 'over-record' you mean record in a loop than no you can not. As others have stated you must attach the drive to a computer and delete the files and folders from there.

I am getting a similar problem using dvd + r discs. I used to be able to record onto these discs, but now suddenly I keep getting the message: "This disc cannot be played. please check the disc". It is now impossible for me to record and may as well junk this machine and buy a more reliab le unit.

This unit can record to DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD-R. Does not handle double layer disks. The RW varieties can be written and rewritten. The R varieties can only be written to once. All are 4.7Gb but you can choose several recording modes that will give you from one hour (best quality) to 6 hours (poorest quality) recording times per disk.

Alex, This is not an issue relating to the disk, but rather the hardware/software you are using to record the show. Most recording devices allow for a disk to remain "open" after recording and "finalized" at some later point. That being the case, you should be able to do what you want to do for multiple recordings. For example, I am using a dual VCR/DVD machine to copy my personal VCR tapes, and my system allows me to put multiple tapes on one DVD before finalizing it.

Thanks for the comeback, I accidently found the recordings in the "Record State" page this morning and was able to view them. my next task is how to save them for later viewing since it has erased them???? The FORMAT box is not checked and overwrite is disabled in the HDD page.

Mine has options in the menu for loop recording ("off", "3 min", "5 min", and "10 min"). I have it set to "off". When full it displays an icon that indicates that it's recording over the old footage, but when I go to play back the latest recording it isn't available. I pulled the card to check it on my laptop and

I buy the DVD's and a friend records them for me since I don't have that capability. But I would check out these links: http://forums.support.roxio.com/topic/29636-disc-in-burner-not-recordable-help-please/ and also http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/dvd-burner-says-disc-is-not-recordable-dvd.162056/ I assume it may be a software program glitch. If using a computer, I'm not computer savvy enough to say for sure. If using an external DVD recording device - - I don't know. Sorry I couldn't be or more help.

I asked this question in another discussion but this discussion may be more appropriate:Which DVD format is best for recording on the Toshiba D-R400?DVD-R; DVD+R; DVD-RW; or DVD+RW? If there is info in the manual I don't see it.Thank you.
