About VR Format Discs

The unit can play back DVD-RAM and DVD-

to such discs as a “VR format disc” in this
manual.

VR Format Discs

done with VR format discs:

set to “DISC RESUME”

•Reverse slow motion playback
•Replaying the previous scenes (one touch

the time (time search)
NOTES: The RDV-1050 does not support
playback by play list.
There are two types of commercially
available DVD-RAM discs one with a car-
tridge and the other without a cartridge.
The RDV-1050 can play back DVD-RAM
discs without a cartridge, and discs with a
cartridge that can be removed from their
cartridge (Type 2 and Type 4).
Some discs may not play due to disc
characteristics or recording conditions.
