DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording

●Once a DVD Recorder 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 a
vailable 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.

RW discs in both the Video and VR Modes.
●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

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.
