IMPORTANT!
NOTE: For Best Results:
1. Use only DVD+R,+R/W, DVD-R or -R/W media. DVDR is
the most universally compatible with other DVD players.
Using other media may result in discs which cannot be
played on other systems.
2. Keep media clean and in protective sleeves. Hold DVDs
by edges and do not lay on surfaces unprotected. Avoid
scratches.
3. Always remember to finalize the disc if you want it to be
playable on other devices. See Table 1 for types of discs
which require finalization. Failure to finalize the disc will
make it unplayable in other systems.
4. Do not drop or move unit while recording.
5. Do not use in conditions colder than 5°C or warmer than
40°C.
6. Do not allow moisture into the unit or the remote
control.
7. If power is lost while recording the current recording will
not be saved. If the disc has no prior recordings on it,
the disc will not be able to make new ones after a power
loss.
Recording Audio
Audio is recorded through the built-in microphone in front
of the LCD Monitor+DVD unit. The microphone is sensitive
enough to record comments made in the vicinity of the unit
during recording.
NOTE: If you do not wish to capture audio during recording,
turn the volume control to OFF.
