General
Discs you can use
DVD+RW (Digital Versatile Disc + rewriteable)
This disc is rewriteable. That means, you can delete your
recordings an use the disc again and again. More than
1000 times. DVD+RW discs can be used without
finalising procedure in the most existing and future
DVD-Players.
DVD+R (Digital Versatile Disc + recordable)
Unlike a DVD+RW disc, this disc can only be written to
once. If it is not finalised after a recording, further
recordings can be added to it. Old recordings can be later
deleted but they can no longer be overwritten. Before
this disc can be played in a DVD player, it must be
finalised in the DVD recorder.
Two way compatibility
This Philips DVD recorder can play back pre-recorded DVDs and CDs.
DVDs recorded using this DVD recorder can be played back on
current and future DVD players. DVD+R discs must be finalised to play
it back on a DVD-player.
