About Recording

Recording Format

There are two recording formats available with this recorder consisting of the VR mode and Video mode.

The recording format that can be selected may differ depending on the disc. Refer to the section on Discs and Recording Formats.

VR (Video Recording) Mode

The VR mode is the basic DVD-RW recording format, and lets you enjoy the various editing functions available with this recorder.

When a disc has been recorded in the VR mode, it can be recorded and erased repeatedly. Erasure also allows the recording time to be increased.

Recorded discs can only be played back with DVD- RW-compatible DVD players*1.

“Copy-once” programs can also be recorded*2.

*1: • Although there are some cases in which the disc must be finalized, the disc can be recorded and erased after it has been finalized.

The following mark is indicated on DVD-RW- compatible DVD players.

This mark indicates that the player on which it is indicated has the function of being able to play back DVD-RW discs recorded in the VR mode with a DVD recorder.

*2: When using a disc compatible with DVD-RW Ver. 1.1 (CPRM). Recorded programs cannot be played back with other DVD players (including DVD-RW players) or DVD recorders not compatible with CPRM.

Video Mode

This recording format is compatible with commercially available DVD players and DVD-ROM drives.

Discs recorded in the Video mode can be played back with other DVD players by finalizing them after recording. (However, this does not guarantee that these discs can be played back on all DVD players.)

When recording in the Video mode, discs can be played back, additionally recorded and edited only with this recorder until they are finalized. Editing- functions are limited.

Recordings onto DVD-R/RW discs using the Video mode (video format) employ a new standard approved by the DVD Forum in 2000, and compatibility with this standard is left to the discretion of the respective DVD player manufacturer. Consequently, there are some models of DVD players and DVD-ROM drives that are unable to play back DVD-R/RW discs.

“Copy-once” programs cannot be recorded.

Discs and Recording Formats

DVD-RW and DVD-R discs can be recorded with this recorder. The recording format that can be selected may vary according to the disc version and types of disc.

Make sure to use a disc that has the words “For Video” or “For recording” on the disc or disc jacket for recording and playback with this recorder.

DVD-RW Discs

DVD-RW discs are available in Ver. 1.1 or Ver. 1.1 (CPRM).

Ver. 1.1 discs can be recorded in either the VR mode or Video mode*1.

In the case a disc has been recorded in the VR mode, it can be recorded and erased repeatedly. Erasure also allows the recording time to be in- creased.

In the case a disc has been recorded in the Video mode, although additional recordings can be made until the disc is full, recording time cannot be increased by erasure*2.

When a disc is initialized, all of its recorded contents can be erased allowing it to be recorded even if it has been recorded in the Video mode. (Refer to pages 12 and 88 regarding initialization.)

*1: Recordings in the VR mode and Video mode cannot be mixed on one disc.

*2: Recording time can only be increased when the last title is erased (titles cannot be erased after a disc has been finalized).

DVD-R Discs

DVD-R discs can only be recorded in the Video mode.

Although additional recordings can be made until the disc is full, disc space does not increase even if titles are erased (because erasure here refers only to making the titles not visible).

Although these discs can be played back with other DVD players once they have been finalized, the discs can no longer be recorded or erased after they have been finalized.

Discs can be additionally recorded and edited with this recorder only until they are finalized.

Important!

This recorder cannot be used to record CD-R or CD-RW discs.
