Differences between the disc types

+RW	Discs are automatically finalized when
	removed from the recorder. If you want
	to record on it again, reformat the disc
	(page 67). Note however, that
	reformatting a disc erases all its
	contents.
-RWVR	Finalizing is unnecessary when playing a
	disc on VR format compatible equipment.

	VR format compatible, you may need to
	finalize the disc, especially if the

	you cannot edit or record on the disc. If
	you want to edit or record on it again,
	unfinalize or reformat the disc (page 67).
