To record video with this unit, use the discs below:

Media type

Logo mark

DVD-RW Ver.1.0 Ver.1.1

Ver.1.2

Ver.1.1CPRM support

DVD-R Ver.2.0 (Ver.2.0 /4x /8x)

DVD-RW

¥The disc can be erased and used again about 1,000 times.

¥Only the VR mode can be used for Ver.1.0 discs.

¥With Ver.1.1/1.2 discs, you can record by selecting the VR mode or Video mode.

¥When you record in the VR mode, you can repeatedly record and erase. By erasing unnecessary titles, you effectively increase remaining time.

¥When you record in the Video mode, you can record until the disc becomes full.

¥When you use the Video mode, you can newly record on the disc by formatting the disc. However, if the disc is formatted, all the recorded contents will be erased.

DVD-R

¥You can record on the disc only in the Video mode.

¥You can record until the disc becomes full.

¥Finalizing the discs allows playback on other DVD players. However, the finalized discs can no longer be recorded.

¥Discs can be recorded to repeatedly until they are finalized.

Note

¥There are some players that cannot playback discs that were recorded with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback with other units.

¥This unit cannot record on DVD-R and DVD-RW discs that are 8 cm in diameter.

¥This unit cannot record on CD-R or CD-RW.

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 27.)

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 disc is used, you can record a ÒCopy OnceÓ program (see page 53).

Video mode

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

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

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

¥In this mode, you cannot record a ÒCopy OnceÓ program (see page 53).

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