Before Recording
Recording media
The recording media for this recorder are internal hard disk drive and DVD±R/ ±RW/+R DL.
–The hard disk has a high storage density which enables long recording duration and quick access to the recording titles.
DVD±RW (DVD Rewritable)
–Discs that are rewritable can be used for multiple recordings once the existing data is erased.
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.
–You can also delete unwanted recordings. However, the disc space occupied by the deleted recordings cannot be recovered for further recording.
–To play a DVD±R disc on other DVD players, it must be finalised. After this is done, no more data can be added to the disc. See ‘Edit Recordings - Recordable DVD - Finalising the DVD±R for playback’ for details.
DVD+R DL (DVD+R Double Layer)
–It contains the same usage as DVD+R, the only difference is the capacity of 8.5 GB. It offers two recordable layers on a single DVD disc. The layers are accessible from the same side of the disc, so recording can occur completely uninterrupted.
