INFORMATION ON DVD-R DISC
You cannot record a still on DVD-R disc, or
delete any recorded images or data.
For optimum recording on DVD-R disc, this
DVD video camera/recorder writes control data
to the disc in order to automatically make
adjustments when it is inserted and ejected
accompanying recording. If the disc has no area
to be written for adjustment, recording may not
be possible. To prevent this, do not insert or eject
a DVD-R disc accompanying recording more
than 100 times.
Although some models are compatible with the
VR mode using DVD-R disc, this DVD video
camera/recorder is not compatible with that
mode.
