About Recordable discs

How are recordable discs different?

The essential difference among DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW is that DVD-R and DVD+R are a record-once medium, while DVD-RW and DVD+RW are a re-recordable/erasable medium. You can re-record/ erase a DVD-RW and DVD+RW disc approximately 1,000 times.

Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD player?

Generally, DVD-R, DVD+R discs and DVD-RW discs recorded in Video mode are playable in a regular DVD player, but they must be ‘finalized’ first. This process fixes the contents of the disc to make them readable to other DVD players as DVD-Video discs.

DVD-RW discs recorded in VR (Video Recording) mode are playable in some players.

Unfinalized DVD+RW discs are playable in a regular DVD player.

This indicates a product feature that is capable of playing DVD-RW discs recorded with Video Recording (VR) format.

What are “Recording modes”?

There are various recording modes available using this recorder. When recording to a DVD-R, DVD+R or DVD+RW disc, recordings are always in Video mode. DVD-RW discs can be formatted for VR mode recording or Video mode recording.

DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for recording on DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs that was approved by the DVD Forum in 2000. You may therefore experience problems playing recordable DVD discs in some players. Symptoms include video arti- facts, audio and/or video dropouts and playback sud-

denly stopping.

Our company cannot take responsibility for problems playing discs recorded on this Recorder Combi Receiver in other players.

Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?

No. When you edit a video tape you need one video deck to play the original tape and another to record the edits. With DVD, you edit by making a ‘Playlist’ of what to play and when to play it. On playback, the Recorder Combi Receiver plays the disc according to the Playlist.

About word ‘Original’ and ‘Playlist’

Throughout this manual, you will often see the words Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and the edited version.

•Original: content refers to what’s actually recorded on the disc.

•Playlist: content refers to the edited version of the disc — how the Original content is to be played.
