Disc StorageDisc Specifications
• A digital versatile disc (DVD) can contain up to 135-
minutes of images, 8-language audio and 32 subtitle
languages. It is equipped with MPEG-2 picture com-
pression and Dolby 3D surround, allowing you to
enjoy vivid and clear theater quality images in the
comfort of your own home.
• When switching from the first layer to the second
layer of a double-layered DVD Video disc, there may
be momentary distortion in the image and sound.
This is not a malfunction of the unit.
• Once a DVD-R/RW recorded in Video Mode is final-
ized, it becomes DVD-Video.

JPEG CD-R/RW
• Use a 700MB(80 minutes) CD-R/RW disc.
If possible, do not use a 800MB(90 minutes) or above
disc, as the disc may not play back.
• If the CD-R/RW disc was not recorded as a closed ses-
sion, you may experience a delay in the early play-
back time, and 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.
Using CD-R/RW
• Once a DVD-RW/-R recorded in Video Mode is final-
ized, 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 programs and erasing programs before final-
izing.
• 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 fin-
ishes.
• This product optimizes the DVD-R for each recording.
Optimizing is carried out when you start recording
after inserting the disc or turn on the unit. Recording
onto the disc may become impossible if optimizing is
carried out too many times.
DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording

cloth.
