play-back time, and all recorded ﬁles may not play.

Some CD-RW/-R discs may not be playable with this unit, depending on the device which was used to

burn them. For contents recorded on CD-RW/-R media from CDs for your personal use, playability may

DVD-rW/-r Disc Playback and recording

Recording and playback can be performed on DVD-RW/-R discs in both Video and VR Modes.

Once a DVD-RW/-R is recorded in VR or Video mode and ﬁnalized, you cannot perform additional

recordings.

Once a DVD-RW/-R is recorded in Video Mode and ﬁnalized, it becomes a DVD-Video.

In both modes, playback can be performed before and after ﬁnalization, but additional recording, deleting

and editing can not be performed after ﬁnalization.

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. You can change the disc mode only

one times when the unused DVD-R disc is inserted.

• DVD-rW/-r (Vr mode)

You can record multiple titles, edit, delete, partial delete, create a playlist, etc.

- A disc that is recorded in this mode may not be played by existing DVD players.

• DVD-rW/-r (Video mode)

The disc can be played by an existing DVD player once it has been ﬁnalized.

- If a disc that has been recorded in Video mode by a different manufacturer's recorder but has not been

ﬁnalized it cannot be played or recorded by this recorder.

- When programing 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.

DVD+r Disc Playback and recording

Once a DVD+R is recorded and ﬁnalized, it is playable in a standard DVD player.

You can record onto the available space on the disc and perform editing functions such as giving titles to

discs and programs and erasing programs before ﬁnalizing.

When programing 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 update the recorded information after recording ﬁnishes.

This product optimizes the DVD+R for each recording. Optimizing is executed when you start recording

after inserting the disc or turning on the unit. Recording onto the disc may become impossible if optimizing

is performed 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 ﬁnalized with a Samsung DVD video recorder. It may
