Samsung DVD-R145 DVD-RW Disc Playback and Recording, DVD+RW Disc Playback and Recording

Page 5

This unit can play back DVD±R discs recorded and finalized with a Samsung DVD video 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 the Video and VR Modes.

Once a DVD-RW recorded in VR Mode or Video mode is finalized, you cannot perform additional recording.

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

In both modes, playback can be performed before and after finalization, but additional recording, deleting and editing can not be performed after finalization.

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.

For an unused disc, a message that asks whether to initialize a disc or not. If you select “Yes”, disc will be formatted in VR mode.

DVD-RW (VR mode)

-This is a format that is used for recording data on a DVD-RW disc. You can record multiple titles, edit, delete, partial delete, create a playlist, etc.

-A disc that is recorded in this mode will not play in standard 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 finalized.

-If a disc that has been recorded in Video Mode by a different maker’s recorder but has not been finalized, it cannot be played or additionally be recorded by this recorder.

DVD+RW Disc Playback and Recording

With DVD+RW discs, there is no difference between DVD-Video format (Video mode) and DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode).

You can make your own chapters on DVD+RWs and edit them using the Chapter Edit menu.

Finalizing is generally unnecessary when using a DVD+RW disc.

DVD-RAM Disc Playback and Recording

For cartridge type DVD-RAM discs, remove the cartridge and use the disc only.

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.
