DVD-RAM Disc Playback and Recording
• DVD-RAM discs come with or without a cartridge. For
this product, we recommend DVD-RAM discs that come
with cartridges.
• Some cartridges are able to eject the disc inside. Even if
you are able to eject the disc, always use the disc with
the cartridge to ensure correct operation.
• DVD-RAM discs have a Write Protect tab in order to
avoid accidental erasure of recorded data. With the Write
Protect tab set to PROTECT, you can play the disc, but
recording or erasing will not work. Set the Write Protect
tab to UNPROTECT to format the disc or erase data.
• Ensure that the recording mode is set to VR mode.
Otherwise, this product will not be able to play the
recording.
• You cannot play a DVD-RAM in most DVD players due
to compatibility issues.
• Only DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0 discs can be
played in this unit.
• DVD-RAM recorded on this unit may not work with
other DVD Players. To determine compatibility with
these DVD-RAM discs, refer to the user’s manual for the
player.
• This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and
cartridge DVD-RAM, but the write-protect tabs on
cartridge-type discs give better protection to your
recordings.
• Many DVD discs are encoded with copy protection.
Because of this, you should only connect your DVD
Recorder-VCR directly to your TV, not to a VCR.
Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture
from copy-protected DVD discs.
