DVD±R (DVD Recordable)
–Discs can only be used for a single recording. Each new recording is always added at the end of all previous recordings as existing recordings cannot be overwritten.
–Editing can be done on DVD±R discs as long as they have not been finalised.
–To playback a DVD±R on other DVD player, it must be finalised (see the chapter “Editing/ Finalising Recording – Playing your recordings (DVD±R) on other DVD players”). After this is done, no more data can be added to the disc.
VHS Tape
–VHS tapes have record safety tabs to ensure that recordings will not be accidentally erased. To prevent recording, break off the tab. To allow recording, cover the hole of the tab with clear tape.
–Without the record safety tab, the VHS tape will start playback once your insert the VHS tape into the tape slot.
–The VCR automatically marks the tape with an index signal at the point where each recording begins.
