About use of the HDD (internal hard disc)
It is not recommended that you delete many chapters
from titles recorded on the HDD to remove unnecessary
parts of the titles and copy those contents on a DVD-
RAM disc. The reason is that discontinuous space inside
the HDD expands and recorded contents are stored in
gaps between used locations. Operating this repeatedly
makes a recording area inside the HDD broken down into
small and complicated spaces. (It is called
fragmentation.) Even normal operations may get slow.
Moreover, available space may not be restored by
deleting or the HDD may have protection disabling
playback or recording.
When you want to delete unnecessary parts from titles,
collect necessary parts of chapters to make a playlist.
Then copy the playlist and delete the original title or the
playlist. For example, make a playlist and copy it to a
DVD-RAM. Then delete original titles on the HDD. It can
save time and effort and retain continuity in the HDD
space. However, when moving a copy once program from
the HDD to a DVD-RAM or DVD-R disc, delete
unnecessary chapters from original titles. For details (
page 104).
Running "All HDD titles delete" regularly prevents
fragmentation from occurring.
In addition, if you select and run "HDD format", all data
on the HDD will be erased. Copy TV programs you want
to save recorded on the HDD from the HDD to a DVD-
RAM or DVD-R disc.
When it comes to library data, back it up to a DVD-RAM
disc before initializing the HDD. Then rewrite the data on
the HDD.
