Performance of any other discs are not guaranteed.

•You can play back DVD+RW on most DVD players without finalizing. However, if you have added or deleted chapters, or made chapters hidden, you must perform “Make Edits Compatible” before being able to see those effects on other units. (Refer to page 67 for more details.) To play back discs other than DVD+RW on other DVD players, you will need to finalize.

Unrecordable Discs

•DVD-RW recorded in the mode other than +VR is not recordable on this unit unless you erase all contents in the disc (refer to page 66).

•DVD-R recorded in the mode other than +VR is not recordable on this unit.

•The recording time is only an estimate. The actual recording time may differ.

•The audio and video quality gets poorer as the recording time becomes longer.

•Each time [REC MODE] is pressed, recording mode and its allowed recording time will be displayed.

Note

•This unit cannot record to CD-RW or CD-R.

•DVD+RW/+R, DVD-RW/-R and CD-RW/-R recorded on a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or if there is condensation on the player’s lens.

•If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format it may not be played back because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

•Since the recording is made by the VBR (variable bit rate) method, depending on the picture you are recording, the actual remaining time for recording may be a little shorter than the remaining time displayed on the TV screen.

•You cannot record copy-protected program using this unit. (Copy-protected signal is included in DVD- video or some satellite broadcasts.)

•You cannot record “copy-once only” program on DVD.
