Note
• The recording format setting
is effective only for DVD-RW
discs. You cannot change the
recording format for a DVD-R
disc. DVD-R discs are always
in Video mode.
• You cannot mix two formats
on one DVD-RW disc. If
you insert a disc that has
been recorded before, the
recording format cannot be
changed even if you change
it in the Setup menu.
• The unit is not compatible
with DVD+RW/+R discs. If
a brand-new DVD+RW or
DVD+R disc is inserted, the
error message (“Disc Error”)
will appear.
