times on average. The disc can be played on DVD-RAM compatible players,
RAM
recorders and computers. The recording is made in DVD Video Recording format
(VR). Movies or parts of movies can be edited and deleted. The deletion of movies
releases previously used storage space. The creation of playlists does not take up any
additional storage space.
Dual channel sound and 16:9 format are supported in addition to the TIME SLIP
function.
DVD-R/+R (Recordable)
DVD-R/+R can only be recorded once. Movies or parts of movies can be deleted during
