DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording
• Once a DVD-R recorded in V mode is
finalised, it becomes DVD-Video.
• You can record onto the available space on
the disc and perform editing functions such
as giving titles to discs and programs and
erasing programs before finalising.
• When programming is erased from a DVD-
R, that space does not become available.
Once an area on a DVD-R is recorded on,
that area is no longer available for
recording, whether the recording is erased
or not.
• It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to
complete recording management
information after recording finishes.
• This product optimizes the DVD-R for each
recording. Optimizing is carried out when
you start recording after inserting the disc
or turn on the unit. Recording onto the disc
may become impossible if optimizing is
carried out too many times.
• Playback may be impossible in some cases
due to the condition of recording.
• This unit can play back DVD-R discs
recorded and finalised with a Toshiba DVD
recorder. It may not be able to play some
DVD-R discs depending on the disc and the
condition of the recording.
DVD-RW Disc Playback and Recording
• Recording and playback can be performed
on DVD-RW discs in both Video and VR
Modes.
• Once a DVD-RW recorded in VR Mode is
finalised, you cannot perform additional
recording.
• Once a DVD-RW recorded in V mode is
finalised, it becomes DVD-Video.
• In both modes, playback can be performed
before and after finalization, but additional
recording, deleting and editing can not be
performed after finalization.
• If you want to record the disc in VR Mode
and then record in V Mode, be sure to
execute Format. Be careful when executing
Format because all the recorded data may
be lost.
• A DVD-RW blank disc is initialized to VR
Mode when first initialized.
• DVD-RW (VR mode)
- This is a format that is used for recording
data on a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc. You
can repeat recording, editing, deleting,
partial deletion, creation of playlist, and etc.
- A disc that is recorded in this mode may not
be played by existing DVD players.
