DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording
Once a DVD-R recorded in Video Mode is finalized, 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
finalizing.
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 turning 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
finalized with a Samsung DVD video 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 the Video and VR Modes.
Once a DVD-RW recorded in VR Mode or Video mode
is finalized, you cannot perform addtional recording.
Once a DVD-RW recorded in Video Mode is finalized,
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.
