DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording

•Once a DVD-R/RW recorded in Video Mode is finalized, it becomes DVD-Video.

•You can record onto the available space on the disc and perform editing functions such as giving titles to discs and programs and erasing programs before finalizing.

•When programming is erased from a DVD-R, that space does not become available. Once an area on a DVD-R is recorded on, that area is no longer available for recording, whether the recording is erased or not.

•It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete recording management information after recording finishes.

•This product optimizes the DVD-R for each recording. Optimizing is carried out when you start recording after inserting the disc or turn on the unit. Recording onto the disc may become impossible if optimizing is carried out too many times.

•Playback may be impossible in some cases due to the recording condition.

•This unit can play back DVD-R discs recorded and finalized with a DVD video recorder. It may not be able to play some DVD-R discs depending on the disc and the recording condition.
