DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording

Once a DVD-R recorded in Video Mode is finalised, it becomes DVD-Video.

You can record onto the available space on the disc and perform editing functions such as giving titles to discs and programmes and erasing programmes before finalising.

When programming is erased from a DVD-R, that space does not become available. Once an area on a DVD-R is recorded on, that area is no longer available for recording, whether the recording is erased or not.

It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete recording management information after recording finishes.

This product optimizes the DVD-R for each recording. Optimizing is carried out when you start recording after inserting the disc or turning on the unit. Recording onto the disc may become impossible if optimizing is carried out too many times.

Playback may be impossible in some cases due to the condition of recording.

This unit can play back DVD-R discs recorded and finalised with a Samsung DVD video recorder. It may not be able to play some DVD-R discs depending on the disc and the condition of the recording.

Once a DVD-RW recorded in both the Video and VR Modes is finalised, you cannot perform addtional recording.

Once a DVD-RW recorded in Video Mode is finalised, it becomes DVD-Video.

In both modes, playback can be performed before and after finalisation, but additional recording, deleting and editing can not be performed after finalisation.

If you want to record the disc in VR Mode and then record in V Mode, be sure to execute Format. Be careful when executing Format because all the recorded data may be lost.
