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 DVD+RW and DVD+R discs.
The disc format for 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, or DVD+RW in a regular DVD
player.
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
format. The disc format is Video format, then the
recording mode is Video 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 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.
• When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception
is poor or the picture contains interference, the
recording times may be shorter.
• 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.
• When using a DVD+R disc, you can keep record-
ing 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.
• 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 .
• 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.
