Performance of any other discs are not guaranteed.

You can play back DVD+RW on most DVD players without finalizing. However, if you have added or deleted chapters, or made chapters hidden, you must perform “Make Edits Compatible” before being able to see those effects on other units. (Refer to page 71 for more details.) To play back discs other than DVD+RW on other DVD players, you will need to finalize.

Unrecordable Discs

DVD-RW recorded in the mode other than +VR is not recordable on this unit unless you erase all contents in the disc (refer to page 70).

DVD-R recorded in the mode other than +VR is not recordable on this unit.

The recording time is only an estimate. The actual recording time may differ.

The audio and video quality gets poorer as the recording time becomes longer.

Each time [REC MODE] is pressed, recording mode and its allowed recording time will be displayed.

Note

This unit cannot record to CD-RW or CD-R.

All high definition pictures will be down converted to the standard definition pictures when they are recorded on this unit.

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

Since the recording is made by the VBR (variable bit rate) method, depending on the picture you are recording, the actual remaining time for recording may be a little shorter than the remaining time displayed on the TV screen.

You cannot record copy-protected program using this unit. (Copy-protected signal is included in DVD- video or some satellite broadcasts.)

You cannot record “copy-once only” program on DVD.
