Recording format

This unit has two modes for formatting discs for recording: VR mode and Video mode.

When a blank, new disc is loaded into this unit, the automatic format function starts to format the disc. (For the disc format setting in this step, see page 23.)

VR mode

¥This mode can be used for DVD-RW.

¥In this mode, the discs can be recorded and edited repeatedly.

¥The disc recorded in this mode can be played back with other DVD-RW-compatible players.

¥When a Ver.1.1 CPRM or Ver.1.2 CPRM disc is used, you can record a ÒCopy OnceÓ program (see page 51).

Video mode

¥This mode can be used for DVD-R and DVD-RW (Ver.1.1/1.2).

¥When you finalise the disc after recording, the disc recorded with this unit can be played back with other DVD players.

¥Recording, editing or playback of an unfinalised disc can be done only with this unit. However, there are some limitation to editing operations.

¥In this mode, you cannot record a ÒCopy OnceÓ program (see page 51).

¥When you record a TV program of a bilingual broadcast, only one of the audio modes can be recorded. You have to select it.
