MP3 CD-R/-RW

Only CD-R discs with MP3 files recorded with ISO9660 or JOLIET format can be played back

Only MP3 files with the "mp3", and "MP3" exten- sion can be used.

For MP3 files recorded with a VBR(Variable Bit Rates), from 32 Kbps to 320 Kbps, the sound may cut in out.

Playable bitrate range is from 56Kbps to 320Kbps.

The unit can handle a maximum of 1000 files and folders.

JPEG CD-R/-RW

Only JPEG files with the ".jpg", ".JPG" extension can be used.

The unit can handle a maximum of 1000 files and folders.

Maximum size of progressive JPEG is 3M pixels.

MOTION JPEG is not supported.

Using CD-R/-RW

Use a 700MB(80 minutes) CD-R/-RW disc.

If possible, do not use a 800MB(90 minutes) or above disc, as the disc may not play back.

If the CD-R/-RW disc was not recorded as a closed ses-sion, you may experience a delay in the early play-back time, and all recorded files may not play.

Some CD-R/-RW discs may not be playable with this unit, depending on the device which was used to burn them.

For contents recorded on CD-R/-RW media from CDs for your personal use, playability may vary depending on contents and discs.

DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording

Once a DVD-RW/DVD-R recorded in Video Mode is finalised, 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 finalising.

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 record- ing. Optimizing is carried out when you start record- ing 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 condition of recording.

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

DVD-RW Disc Playback and Recording

Recording and playback can be performed on DVD- RW discs in both Video and VR Modes.

Once a DVD-RW recorded in VR Mode is finalised, you cannot perform additional recording.

Once a DVD-RW recorded in Video Mode is finalised, it becomes DVD-Video.

In both modes, playback can be performed before and after finalisation, but additional recording, delet- ing and editing can not be performed after finalisa- tion.

If you want to record the disc in VR Mode and then record in V Mode, be sure to execute Format. Be careful when executing Format because all the recorded data may be lost.

A DVD-RW blank disc is initialized to VR Mode when first initialized.

DVD-RW (VR mode)

-This is a format that is used for recording data on a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc. You can repeat record- ing, editing, deleting, partial deletion, creation of playlist, and etc.

-A disc that is recorded in this mode may not be played by existing DVD players.

DVD-RW (Video mode)

-This is a format that is used for recording data on a DVD-RW or DVD-R disc. The disc can be played by an existing DVD player once it has been finalised.

-If a disc that has been recorded in Video mode by a different manufacturer's recorder but has not been finalised it cannot be played or additionally be recorded by this recorder.

DVD-RAM Disc Playback and Recording

DVD-RAM discs come with or without a cartridge. For this product, we recommend DVD-RAM discs that come with cartridges.

Some cartridges are able to eject the disc inside. Even if you are able to eject the disc, always use the disc with the cartridge to ensure correct opera- tion.

DVD-RAM discs have a Write Protect tab in order to avoid accidental erasure of recorded data. With the Write Protect tab set to PROTECT, you can play the disc, but recording or erasing will not work. Set the Write Protect tab to UNPROTECT to format the disc or erase data.

Ensure that the recording mode is set to VR mode. Otherwise, this product will not be able to play the recording.

You cannot play a DVD-RAM in most DVD players due to compatibility issues.

Only DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0 discs can be played in this unit.

DVD-RAM recorded on this unit may not work with other DVD Players. To determine compatibility with these DVD-RAM discs, refer to the user’s manual for the player.

This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and car- tridge DVD-RAM, but the write-protect tabs on car- tridge-type discs give better protection to your record- ings.

COPY PROTECTION

Many DVD discs are encoded with copy protection. Because of this, you should only connect your DVD Recorder-VCR directly to your TV, not to a VCR.

Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture from copy-protected DVD discs.
