DVD-RAM

¥When using cartridge-type DVD-RAM discs, it will be necessary to remove the disc from the car- tridge.

¥Use only DVD-RAM discs that comply with DVD- RAM standard Version 2.0 or 2.1.

The recorder cannot record on a disc formatted in any other standard. When using such a disc, initial- ize it by using the disc-format function of this recorder.

¥The recorder may not record, dub, or edit some DVD- RAM discs, because they are edited/recorded with another manufactureÕs equipment or PC, contain a large number of titles, or have little remaining capac- ity. Also, a DVD-RAM disc may not be edited or re- corded if its title contains still pictures.

¥When you load a DVD-RAM disc for PC, ÒINCORECT DISCÓ may appear on screen. In this case please format the disc to use with this recorder.

¥DVD-RAM discs formatted in UDF2.0 on a PC are not compatible with this recorder. Before using these discs, initialize them on this recorder.

¥This recorder complies with current copyright protection technology and can copy a disc only when the disc permits copying once. When there is no indication on the disc, copying will not be allowed. Such an indication on a disc is required also for the Library Management database.

DVD-RW

¥The disc can be erased and used again about 1,000 times.

¥Only the VR mode can be used for Ver.1.0 discs.

¥With Ver.1.1/1.2 discs, you can record by selecting the VR mode or Video mode.

¥When you record in the VR mode, you can repeat- edly record and erase. By erasing unnecessary titles, you effectively increase remaining time.

¥When you record in the Video mode, you can record until the disc becomes full.

¥When you use the Video mode, you can newly record on the disc by formatting the disc. However, if the disc is formatted, all the recorded contents will be erased.

DVD-R

¥You can record on the disc only in the Video mode.

¥You can record until the disc becomes full.

¥Finalizing the discs allows playback on other DVD players. However, the finalized discs can no longer be recorded.

¥Discs can be recorded to repeatedly until they are finalized.

NOTES:

¥There are some players that cannot playback discs that were recorded with this unit. We cannot guaran- tee the playback with other units.

¥This unit can record on DVD-RAM/RW/R discs that are 8 cm in diameter.

¥This unit cannot record on CD-RW/R.

Recording format

This unit has two modes for formatting discs for record- ing: VR mode and Video mode.

When a blank, new disc is loaded into this unit, the automatic format function starts to format the disc. (For the disc format setting in this step, see page 28).

VR mode

¥This mode can be used for DVD-RAM/-RW.

¥In this mode, the discs can be recorded and edited repeatedly.

¥The disc recorded in this mode can be played back with other DVD-RW-compatible players.

¥When a Ver.1.1 CPRM or Ver. 1.2 disc is used, you can record a ÒCopy OnceÓ program (see page 54).

Video mode

¥This mode can be used for DVD-R and DVD-RW (Ver.1.1/1.2).

¥When you finalize the disc after recording, the disc recorded with this unit can be played back with other DVD players.

¥Recording, editing or playback of an unfinalized disc can be done only with this unit. However, there are some limitation to editing operations.

¥In this mode, you cannot record a ÒCopy OnceÓ pro- gram (see page 54).

¥When you record a TV program of a bilingual broad- cast, only one of the audio modes can be recorded. You have to select it.
