Toshiba RD-XS24SB owner manual On DVD-RW discs, On DVD-R discs

To protect recorded contents Slide the write-protect tab to “PROTECT” with something small enough. The disc can play, but cannot be edited or erased. Refer

PROTECT

to the instructions that come with the disc.

When using a disc without a cartridge (commercially

available discs) Discs without cartridges can easily

attract fingerprints and dust, which

is the reason they are not recommended. If you cannot avoid using them, handle with proper care. When you write in a title column on a disc, use a pen with a soft tip. Do not use a pen with a hard tip, such as a ballpoint pen.

Recommended discs

The following discs have been tested with this recorder:

9.4GB double-sided cartridge: Panasonic 2X, 3X, 5X

4.7GB single-sided cartridge: Panasonic 2X, 3X, 5X

On DVD-RW discs

Discs compatible with 2X speed recording (labeled Ver.1.1/2X etc,) can also be used.

Select discs labeled “for video,” “for recording,” “120 min.” etc.

Recording conditions

Video mode cannot record contents with restrictions on recording (copy once contents). To record such contents, select a CPRM compatible disc and initialize it in VR mode before recording. (You can initialize the disc again either VR mode or Video mode. Initializing erases all contents in the disc.)
