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.
