Essential Information

What are “Recording Modes“?

This recorder offers three recording modes: VR mode, Video mode and Data mode. Recordings on DVD-R discs are always in Video mode. Record- ings on DVD-RW discs can be in either VR or Video mode. Files of memory cards, e.g. MP3 can be recorded on discs in Data mode.

Our company cannot take any responsibility for problems playing discs recorded on this recorder on other players.
