≥We recommend using Panasonic discs and cards. We also recommend using DVD-RAM discs with cartridges to protect them from scratches and dirt.
≥You may not be able to record depending on the condition of the discs and you may not be able to play them due to the condition of the recording.
≥You cannot record programs that allow "One time only recording" to CPRM compatible DVD-R and DVD-RW on this unit. You can record other
programs as DVD-Video format.
[Note]
When "Enable High-Speed Mode" is set to "On", the restrictions on secondary audio recording etc. are also applied to DVD-RAM. Turn this setting
"Off" if high speed copy to DVD-R, etc. is not necessary when recording a program (➡ 61). ( The default setting is "On". )
Finalize
A process that makes play of a recorded disc possible on equipment that can play such media. After finalizing, the disc becomes play-only and
you can no longer record or edit. (➡ 58)
Formatting
Formatting is the process of making a disc (such as DVD-RAM, etc.) recordable on recording equipment. (➡ 57)
You cannot directly record to DVD-R DL and +R DL discs on this unit.
Record to the HDD and then copy to the disc.
When playing DVD-R DL (Dual Layer, single-sided) and +R DL (Double Layer, single-sided)
DVD-R DL (Dual Layer, single-sided) and +R DL (Double Layer, single-sided) discs have two writable layers on one side. If there is not enough
space on the first layer to record a program, the remaining portion of the program is recorded on the second layer. When playing a title
recorded on both layers, the unit automatically switches between layers and plays the title in the same way as a normal program. However,
video and audio may momentarily cut out when the unit is switching layers.
