Frequently asked questions
• What's the difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW?
The most important difference between DVD-R and
DVD-RW is that DVD-R is a record-once medium,
while DVD-RW is a re-recordable/erasable medium.
You can re-record/erase a DVD-RW disc
approximately 1,000 times.
For more information, see About DVD recording on
page 42.
• What's VR mode?
VR (Video Recording) mode is a special mode
designed for home DVD recording. It allows flexible
editing of recorded material compared to 'Video
mode'. On the other hand, Video mode discs are
more compatible with other DVD players.
• Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD player?
Generally, DVD-R discs and DVD-RW discs recorded
*
in Video mode are playable in a regular DVD player,
but they must be 'finalized' first. This process fixes
the contents of the disc to make them readable to
other DVD players as DVD-Video discs.
DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode are playable in
some players.
This label indicates playback compatibility with
DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode (Video
Recording format). However, for discs recorded with
a record-only-once encrypted program, playback can
only be achieved using the CPRM compatible device.
Note that Pioneer cannot guarantee that discs
recorded using this recorder will play on other players.
*
'DVD-Video format' recording: The use of the DVD-
Video format for recording on DVD-R and DVD-RW discs
is referred to as recording in 'Video mode' on Pioneer's
DVD recorders. Supporting playback of DVD-R / DVD-
RW discs is optional for manufacturers of DVD
playback equipment, and there is DVD playback
equipment that does not play DVD-R or DVD-RW discs
recorded in the DVD-Video format.
Note: 'Finalization' is required.
This recorder supports the recording of 'copy-once'
broadcast programs using the CPRM copy protection
system (see CPRM on page 43) on CPRM-compliant
DVD-RW discs in VR mode. CPRM recordings can only
be played on players that are specifically compatible
with CPRM.
