Information on DVD recording

Information

This unit can record on DVD-R and DVD-RW. You can record on DVD-R only once. On DVD-RW, you can record and erase many times.

It is possible to record on DVD-R only in Video mode. DVD-RW can record in the format you select from Video mode or VR mode.

If you want to record repeatedly on the same disc or if you want to edit the disc after recording, use a rewritable DVD-RW type disc.

If you want to save recordings without any alteration, use a non-rewritable DVD-R type disc.

Notes

This unit cannot record on CD-R or CD-RW discs.

DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded on a personal computer or on 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.)

Discs recorded in Video mode on this unit cannot record additional information using other DVD recorders.

It is impossible to use a DVD-RW disc formatted with this unit on other DVD recorder unless the content of the disc was also recorded with this unit.

Since recording is performed using the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) method, the actual remaining time for recording may be a little shorter than the remaining time displayed on the OSD, depending on the picture you are recording.
