About DVD recording

Notes:

This Recorder cannot record CD-R or CD-RW discs.

Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect playback and/or recording performance. Please take proper care of your discs.

The company does not hold any responsibility to compensate the contents which should have been recorded, and any losses or damages (e.g. losses of business profit, or business intermis- sion) that may arise from malfunction of this recorder (not recording/editing as intended).

Disc types and recording formats, modes, and settings

This recorder can play many different kinds of DVD discs: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format for DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW discs is always “Video format”—the same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD-R, DVD+R, or DVD+RW in a regular DVD play- er.

The DVD-RW disc format is Video Recording (VR) format or Video format. You can change Recording format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase the contents of the disc.)

The recording mode is closely related to the disc for- mat. If the disc format is Video Recording format, then the recording mode is VR mode; if the disc for- mat is Video format, then the recording mode is Video mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not recordable, and so does not have a recording mode). These can be changed as required for each record- ing and determine the picture quality and how much space the recording will take up on the disc.

Notes for recording

The recording times shown are not exact because the recorder uses variable bit-rate video compression. This means that the exact record- ing time will depend on the material being record- ed.

If you record still pictures or audio only, the recording time may be longer.

The displayed times for recording and time remaining may not always add up to exactly the length of the disc.

The recording time available may decrease if you heavily edit a disc.

If using a DVD-RW disc, make sure you change the recording format (Video mode or VR mode) before you record anything on the disc. See page 19 (Initialize) for how to do this.

When using a DVD-R or DVD+R disc, you can keep recording until the disc is full, or until you finalize the disc. Before you start a recording session, check the amount of recording time left on the disc.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video mode, recording time available will only increase if you erase the last title recorded on the disc.

The Delete Title option in the Title List (Original) menu only hides the title, it does not actually erase the title from the disc and increase the recording time available (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in Video mode).

Overwrite recording is available using DVD+RW discs.

When using a DVD+R/RW, the recorder will exe- cute the Menu-making operation to update the new title and editing when removing the disc from the recorder.
