3.3 Set The Burn Mode
Set Burn Mode
===================
Burn: auto mode
Eject: manual
Set the burn options by pressing the “MENU” key again. In auto-mode (the default), once
AfterBurner has enough data, and if there is a suitable blank disk in the DVD tray,
AfterBurner will automatically burn a DVD (4.7 GB). For example, if the unit has been set to
record in 24 hour mode, it will start burning a DVD 24 hours after recording starts. If a DVD is
unavailable to burn, AfterBurner starts a new file on the internal hard disk, which can be
burnt when complete.
The burn options are as follows and selected by the ▲ ▼ keys:
MB num of copies: 1 to 8 sets the number of copies of each file burnt to DVD,
partiality when a MultiBurner is connected to the unit.
Burn: auto mode : (default) unit records to internal hard disk, closes the
record file and attempts to burn a DVD x hours after the recording
started (where x is the AfterBurner mode, e.g. 24 hours).
When recording with MultiBurner connected, AfterBurner attempts
to burn a new DVD each time a new compete file becomes
available. NB: As of version 45c Auto-mode replaces MB Cascade
mode.
manual only: unit records to internal hard disk but only burns a
DVD under user instruction. This mode can be used when
AfterBurner is left recording unattended collecting several DVDs of
data.
at given time: forces AfterBurner to attempt a burn at a given time
of day, to the nearest hour (if blank disk in drive). Even if a blank
disk is unavailable a new DVD file will be created.
NB1: AfterBurner will only automatically start burning when a
suitable blank DVD disk is in the drive.
NB2: Once recording has started, it is possible to override the
above setting and burn a DVD manually, see Section 3.5 page 10.
Eject: manual: (default) control of disk eject. Note: DVD drive has to be
switched on via the DVD button before disk can be manually
ejected.
when burnt: the DVD is automatically ejected once a burn is
complete.
