Information on DVD recording

Note

• This recorder cannot record CD-RW or CD-R

discs.

• DVD+RW/R, DVD-RW/R and CD-RW/R discs

recorded on a personal computer or a DVD or
CD recorder may not play if the disc is damaged
or dirty or if there is dirt of condensation on the
player’s lens.

• If you record a disc using a personal computer,

even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there
are cases in which it may not play because of the
settings of the application software used to create
the disc. (Check with the software publisher for
more detailed information.)

• DVD-RW/R discs recorded in Video mode cannot be

recorded additionally using the unit.

• Since the recording is made by the variable bit rate

(VBR) method, depending on the picture you are
recording, the actual remaining time for recording
may be a little shorter than the remaining time
displayed on the OSD.

• You cannot record copy-protected video using

this unit. (Copy-protected video includes DVD-
Video discs and some satellite broadcasts.)

• You cannot record videos that includes “copy-

once only” signal.
