You must format a new disc before recording on it.

When loading a DVD-RW disc you must format it in Video or VR mode. When loading a DVD+RW disc you must format it.

We cannot guarantee that you will be able to play back in all other manufacturer’s DVD Camcorders, DVD Players/ Recorders, or PC’s. For compatibility information, please refer to the manual of the device you wish to play back on.

Discs must be finalised before they can be played on standard DVD Players/Recorders. Refer to the page 12 for Finalised disc compatibility.

You can play back DVD+RW discs on DVD Players/Recorders without finalising them. DVD+RW discs do not need to be Finalised/Unfinalised.

When formatting a recorded disc, the data recorded on the disc is deleted and disc capacity is restored, enabling you to re-use the disc.
