Disc types and recording formats, modes, and settings

This recorder can play five different kinds of DVD disc: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format for DVD-R discs is always “Video format”—the same as pre-record- ed DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD-R in a regular DVD player.

Notes for recording

•The recording times shown are not exact because the recorder uses variable bit-rate video compression. This means that the exact recording time will depend on the material being recorded.

•When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception is poor or the picture contains interference, the record- ing times may be shorter.

•If you record still pictures or audio only, the recording time may be longer.

•The displayed times for recording and time remaining may not always add up to exactly the length of the disc.

•The recording time available may decrease if you heavily edit a disc.

•The overwrite recording is available with DVD+RW disc.
