or DVD+R DL discs. They are
compatible with DVD-Video players and
DVD-ROM drives in computers.

+RW disc?

store only one hour of recordings on a
single disc at the highest quality (DVD
standard) and about 6 hours recording at

hours that will fi t on a single disc.
What is the difference between
DVD±R and DVD±RW?
DVD±R is "recordable" and DVD±RW is
"erasable" and "rewritable". With a

same disc, but when the disc is full, no
more recordings can be made to the disc.
The DVD±RW allows you to record
over the same disc repeatedly.
How do I check the remaining space
available on a recordable DVD disc?
In disc menu mode, press REC MODE on
the remote control repeatedly to display
the remaining recording time in different
