•The unit may not be able to play some CD-R or CD-
RW discs due to the condition of the recording.
•Use a 700MB(80 minutes) CD-R/RW disc. If possible,
do not use a 800MB(90 minutes) or above disc, as the

• If the CD-R/RW disc was not recorded as a closed
session, you may experience a delay in the early
playback time, all recorded files may not play.
• Some CD-R/RW discs may not be playable with this
unit, depending on the device which was used to burn
them. For contents recorded on CD-R/RW media from
CDs for your personal use, playability may vary
depending on contents and discs.
•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
