Philips DVDR3475/37 Menu Scene screen

I have a Philips DVDR3475/37 standalone and every DVD I burn has this annoying Menu Screen that pops up with two scenes. One is my video the other is blank and cant be deleted before or after finalizing. I have searched the manual for a setting that would turn this off but cant find it. All I want is for the DVD to just play when inserted in a dvd player.Any thoughts?

Thanks
Daryl

I have a Philips DVDR3575, and assuming it works the same way, you can use DVD+R discs in the 3575, and the 3575 and other DVDRs (at least my Panny player) will not auto-display the menu screen. They will load, show a "+R" briefly on screen (in the 3575, nothing on my Panny), then sit there waiting for your command to show Disc Menu or PLAY. If you load the +R disc then press PLAY (not Close the tray), the disc will auto-play from the beginning.

A DVD-R created in the 3575 will always auto-display the title menu in the 3575 and prob. most other DVDRs.

Commercial DVDs will do whatever the producer wants it to do. Mine play at least the FBI warnings, etc., then either play or put up a menu for op. selection.

To get rid of the Empty Title block, you have to rec. something of the length it shows (fill up the disc), then delete that title before finalizing.

This happens strangely with the Magnavox I picked up recently from Walmart. The best thing I say you can do is fill up the blank (overwrite it) and when it fills up the disc space go edit it and just delete it. I know it's not the same brand or dvd recorder but that's what I have been doing with the similar problem.
