• DVD-RW/R and CD-RW/R discs recorded using
a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder
may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if
there is dirt or condensation on the pickup lens.
• If you record a disc using a personal computer,
even if it is recorded in a compatible format,
there are cases in which it may not play because
of the settings of the application software used
to create the disc. (Check with the software pub-
lisher for more detailed information.)
• Discs recorded in video mode on this DVD
recorder cannot record additionally using other
DVD recorders.
• A DVD-RW disc formatted with this unit cannot
be used in other DVD recorders without any
recording using this unit.
• Since the recording is made by the variable bit
rate (VBR) method, depending on the picture you
are recording, the actual remaining time for
recording may be a little shorter than the
remaining time displayed on the OSD.
