Before Recording

This unit can record on various types of discs. Before
recording, read the following instructions and select the
disc type according to your preference.

Recordable discs

This recorder can record on the following discs.
DVD-RAM DVD-RW DVD-R
•DVD-RWs and DVD-RAMs are rewritable.
•DVD-Rs are non-rewritable.
This can be due, among other reasons, to problems and
errors that can occur during the creation or recording of
DVD and other software and the manufacture of soft-
ware discs (including blank discs).
Moreover, because of variations in the quality of discs,
this recorder may not be able to record on all discs that
bear a DVD-RAM, DVD-R or DVD-RW logo, but you
should not encounter difficulty if you use only high quality
recordable DVD discs.
If you happen to encounter difficulties playing or record-
ing a DVD disc of playing a CD disc, please feel free to
call our Customer Service Hotline.
