DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording

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

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 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.

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 not be able to play some DVD-R discs depending on the disc and the condition of the recording.

The unfinalized DVD-R discs can not play back in the P Tray.

DVD-RW Disc Playback and Recording

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

Once a DVD-RW recorded in both the Video and VR Modes is finalized, you cannot perform additional recording.(See pages 106~107)

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

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 execute Format because all the recorded data may be lost.

A DVD-RW blank disc is initialized to VR Mode when first initialized.

The unfinalized DVD-RW(Video mode)discs can not play back in the P Tray.

DVD-RAM Disc Playback and Recording

DVD-RAM discs come with or without a cartridge. For this product, we recommend DVD-RAM discs that come with cartridges.

Cartridges can only be used in the R tray of this

 

product.

 

 

 

• Some cartridges are able to eject the disc inside.

 

Even if you are able to eject the disc, always use the

 

 

disc with the cartridge to ensure correct operation.

Getting

DVD-RAM discs have a Write Protect tab in order to

avoid accidental erasure of recorded data. With the

 

Write Protect tab set to PROTECT, you can play the

 

disc, but recording or erasing will not work. Set the

Started

Write Protect tab to UNPROTECT to format the disc

 

or erase data.

 

• This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and

 

cartridge DVD-RAM, but the write-protect tabs on

 

cartridge-type discs give better protection to your

 

recordings.

 

 

 

• You cannot play a DVD-RAM in most DVD components

 

due to compatibility issues.

 

• Only DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0. discs can be

 

played in this unit.

 

DVD-RAM recorded on this unit may not work with

 

other DVD components. To determine compatibility

 

with these DVD-RAM discs, refer to the user’s manual

 

for the player.
