DVD-R & DVD-RW Details

DVD-R : Only discs that conform with DVD-R Standard 2.0 (video mode) can be used.

DVD-RW : Discs of Version 1.1 or later can be used. Although Version 1.1 of the DVD-RW Standards allows the selection of either video mode or VR mode for recording, this DVD recorder performs recording in video mode only.

* Version 1.0 of the DVD-RW Standards does not support video-mode recording, and for this reason, the corresponding discs cannot be used.

In terms of recording characteristics, DVD-R and DVD-RW (video mode) differ as follows.

DVD-R

•Each disc can be recorded only one. Accordingly, these discs are recommended for use in archiving or long-term storage.

•Once a disc has been finalized, it can also be played on other DVD players.

DVD-RW (video mode):

•After viewing a disc, all data can be erased and it can be used to record new content.

•Once a disc has been finalized, it can also be played on other DVD players.

•It is possible to cancel the finalization and add a recording.

When a DVD-R or a DVD-RW (video mode) has been finalized, it can be played in the same way as any other DVD using a standard DVD player. (☞ Page 44)

Recording to unused sections of a disc and the modification of titles or display styles can be carried out as required before a disc is finalized.

•In the case of both DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs, it is impossible to overwrite previously recorded content with new data, even if the disc in question has not yet been finalized. The deletion of specific sections of data is also impossible.

•Regardless of whether or not finalization has been carried out, it will not be possible to use this DVD recorder to record new content to a DVD-R or DVD-RW that has been recorded using other devices.

Once a disc has been finalized, it can be used as a standard DVD and its recorded audio and video can be played on this and other DVD players.

•After finalizing, a disc’s titles can be selected from the top menu.

•Additional recording will not be possible after finalizing.

•In the case of a DVD-RW, it is possible to cancel the finalization and add a recording.

•Although a finalized disc may in principle be played on other DVD players, certain characteristics of the disc and its recording conditions may make this impossible.
