Information on copy control
Some satellite broadcasts include copy-protected
information. If you wish to record them, refer to the
following.
Note
• This unit cannot record on CD-RW or CD-R discs.
• DVD-RW / R and CD-RW / R discs recorded on a
personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may
not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or
if there is condensation on the player’s lens.
• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even
if it is recorded in a compatible format, it may not be
played back because of the settings of the
application software used to create the disc. (Check
with the software publisher for more detailed
information.)
• Discs recorded in Video mode on this unit cannot
record additional information using other DVD
recorders.
• It is not possible to use a DVD-RW disc formatted
with this unit in another DVD recorder unless the
content of the disc was also recorded with this unit.
• Since recording is performed using the Variable Bit
Rate (VBR) method, the actual remaining time for
recording may be a little shorter than the remaining
time displayed on the OSD, depending on the
picture you are recording.
Making discs playable in other DVD
players (Finalise)
After recording, you must finalise the disc to play it
back in other players. (See page 34.)
You cannot finalise discs in other DVD recorders.
After finalising:
• After a DVD-RW / R disc (Video mode) is finalised, a
title menu is created automatically and additional
recording or editing is not possible.
• Even if after a DVD-RW disc (VR mode) is finalised,
additional recording or editing is possible.
• To play back in other DVD players, finalise discs
recorded on this unit.
