Information on DVD recording

Information

● This unit can record on DVD-R and DVD-RW. You can record on DVD-R only once. On DVD-RW, you can
record and erase many times.
● It is possible to record on DVD-R only in Video mode. DVD-RW can record in the format you select from Video
mode or VR mode.
● If you want to record repeatedly on the same disc or if you want to edit the disc after recording, use a rewritable
DVD-RW type disc.
● If you want to save recordings without any alteration, use a non-rewritable DVD-R type disc.
Notes
• This unit cannot record on CD-R or CD-RW discs.
• DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded on a personal computer or on a DVD or CD recorder may not be played back if
the disc is damaged or dirty or if there is condensation on the player's lens.
• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, it may not be played back
because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more
detailed information.)
• Discs recorded in Video mode on this unit cannot record additional information using other DVD recorders.
• It is impossible to use a DVD-RW disc formatted with this unit on other DVD recorder unless the content of the disc was
also recorded with this unit.
• Since recording is performed using the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) method, the actual remaining time for recording may be a
little shorter than the remaining time displayed on the OSD, depending on the picture you are recording.
