Precaution
Using CD-R/-RW
• Use a 700MB(80 minutes) CD-R/-RW disc.
If possible, do not use a 800MB(90 minutes) or above disc, as the disc may not
play back.
• If the CD-R/-RW disc was not recorded as a closed ses-sion, you may experi-
ence a delay in the early play-back time, and all recorded files may not play.
• Some CD-R/-RW discs may not be playable with this unit, depending on the
device which was used to burn them. For contents recorded on CD-R/-RW
media from CDs for your personal use, playability may vary depending on con-
tents and discs.
❿ DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording
• Once a DVD-RW/DVD-R recorded in Video 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 record-
ing, 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 Samsung DVD
recorder. It may not be able to play some DVD-R discs depending on the disc and the
condition of the recording.
❿
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 Video Mode is finalised, it becomes DVD-Video.
• In both modes, playback can be performed before and after finalisation, but additional
recording, deleting and editing can not be performed after finalisation.
• 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.
• DVD-RW (Video mode)
- This is a format that is used for recording data on a DVD-RW or DVD-R disc. The disc
can be played by an existing DVD player once it has been finalised.
- If a disc that has been recorded in Video mode by a different manufacturer's recorder
but has not been finalised it cannot be played or additionally be recorded by this
recorder.
