Using 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 experi-

ence 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 con-

tents and discs.

❿ DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording

• Once a DVD-RW/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 programs and erasing programs 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 record-

ing, whether the recording is erased or not.

after recording finishes.
