Precaution
❿ DVD-RAM Disc Playback and Recording
• DVD-RAM discs come with or without a cartridge. For this product, we recommend
DVD-RAM discs that come with cartridges.
• Some cartridges are able to eject the disc inside. Even if you are able to eject the
disc, always use the disc with the cartridge to ensure correct operation.
• DVD-RAM discs have a Write Protect tab in order to avoid accidental erasure of
recorded data. With the Write Protect tab set to PROTECT, you can play the disc, but
recording or erasing will not work. Set the Write Protect tab to UNPROTECT to format
the disc or erase data.
• Ensure that the recording mode is set to VR mode. Otherwise, this product will not be
able to play the recording.
• You cannot play a DVD-RAM in most DVD players due to compatibility issues.

compatibility with these DVD-RAM discs, refer to the user's manual for the player.
• This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and cartridge DVD-RAM, but the write-
protect tabs on cartridge-type discs give better protection to your recordings.
