Information on DVD recording

Note

• This recorder cannot record on CD-RW or

CD-R discs.

• DVD-RW/R and CD-RW/R discs recorded on a

personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may

not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or

if there is dirt of condensation on the player’s lens.

• If you record on a disc using a personal

computer, there are cases in which it may not

be played back because of the settings of the

application software used to create the disc, even

if it is recorded in a compatible format. (Check

with the software publisher for more detailed

information.)

• Discs recorded in Video mode on this unit cannot

record additionally using other DVD recorders.

• A DVD-RW disc formatted with this unit cannot be

used on other DVD recorders.

• Since the recording is made by the variable bit

rate (VBR) method, the actual remaining time

for recording may be a little bit shorter than the

remaining time displayed on the OSD, depending

on the picture you are recording.
