Discs for recording

Several different formats of DVD
recordable discs can be used:
DVD±RW (DVD Rewritable)
– Discs that are rewritable can be used
for multiple recordings once the existing
data has been erased.
DVD±R (DVD Recordable)
– Discs can only be used for a single
recording. Each new recording is added at
the end of all previous recordings as
existing recordings cannot be overwritten.
– Editing can be made on any DVD±R
discs as long as they have not been
fi nalised (except { A-B Hide }).
– To play a DVD±R on other DVD
player, it must be fi nalised (see the
chapter "Edit Recordings - Playback your
recordings on other DVD Players
(DVD±R)"). After this is done, no more
data can be added to the disc.
DVD±R DL (DVD±R Double Layer)
– It contains the same usage as DVD±R,
the only difference is the capacity of 8.5
GB. It offers two recordable layers on a
single DVD disc. The layers are accessible
from the same side of the disc, so
recording can occur completely
uninterrupted.
Helpful Hint:
– If the recordable DVD contains recordings
made on another DVD recorder, you may
not be able to add new recordings.
– It is normal to encounter noise when
recording to discs of higher media speeds.
– Avoid using discs with labels.
