Using different disc types for different purposes
Use DVD-RAM discs for your personal library.
DVD-RAM discs comply with the global standard DVD-VR (Video Recording) format, and are optimized for recording of
TV programs. You can rewrite repeatedly without any deterioration, erase unnecessary parts, divide a chapter, or
specify playback area by frame. Its cartridge is suitable for a long-term storage and family use, and its large capacity of
9.4 GB double sided disc is space saving.
Use DVD-R discs when creating your own original discs for distribution.
DVD-R discs comply with the global standard DVD-Video format, and can be recorded only once. DVD-R discs are
convenient when you edit your original content (recorded personal events such as a wedding party) with your PC, and
send them to your friends or relatives. The discs can be played on other DVD players. DVD-RW discs, which are
rewriteable can be used as well.
* This format is not suited for recording TV programs. According to DVD-Video format, recording and dividing into
chapters must be by 15 frames. Possibly an unnecessary part may remain even after editing. Also, you cannot record
programs that include a scene with bilingual sounds, and programs that permit copying only once.
* This recorder records on a DVD-R/RW disc in DVD-Video format only. In DVD-VR format, recording is not possible.
We cannot guarantee that DVD-RAM/R/RW discs recorded on this recorder will be playable on all DVD players.
Similarly, there is no guarantee that all DVD-RAM/R/RW discs recorded on other recorders will be playable on this
player.
Select a DVD-RAM disc that shows a statement on its package such as “this disc can be used with video
recorders and drives compatible with 4.7GB DVD-RAM discs” or “this disc can copy images that permit single
copying.”
