Selecting the disc mode (Disc Mode)

When you insert a 60/74/80-minute standard disc (blank) into the recorder, you can use this function to specify use of the disc in Hi-MD mode or MD mode. When you record on this recorder without using a computer, set “Disc Mode” to “Hi-MD”. Recording is not possible if “Disc Mode” is set to “MD”. To allow a disc recorded on this recorder to be used on another component that does not support Hi-MD, set “Disc Mode” to “MD” and use a computer to record in MD mode (refer to “Software Operation” section).
