Playing the disc on other DVD players

The disc must be fi nalized after recording ( 49).

All DVD-R, etc. discs recorded on this unit must be fi nalized before they can be played on other DVD players. Once

nalized, DVD-R, etc. become “read-only” and can no longer be used for recording. DVD-RW can be reused after

nalizing.

Whether DL discs recorded on this unit can be played on other DVD players will depend entirely on the capabilities of that player. 100% compatibility is not guaranteed.

DVD-R DL and +R DL

DVD-R DL and +R DL discs have two layers of recording surface on one side.

[-R]DL]Recordings are divided when recording changes from the fi rst layer to the second. Some images and audio may be lost at this point.

[+R]DL] Recordings continue through the layer change with only a slight pause similar to what you will see with commercial DVD-Video discs. Any recording exceeding 8 hours in length is automatically divided whether a layer change is required or not.
