Preparing a Disc for Recording
ⅥThis DVD recorder is capable of recording to DVD-R and DVD-RW (in video mode).
DVD-R : Only discs that conform with DVD-R Standard 2.0 (video mode) can be used.
DVD-RW : Discs of Version 1.1 or later can be used.
Although Version 1.1 of DVD-RW standards allows the selection of video mode and VR mode for recording, this
DVD recorder performs recording in video mode only.
*Version 1.0 of the DVD-RW standards does not support video-mode recording, and for this reason, the corresponding
discs cannot be used.
ⅥIn terms of recording characteristics, DVD-R and DVD-RW (video mode) differ as follows.
DVD-R : Each disc can be recorded only once. Erasing of data and re-recording are not possible.
DVD-RW (video mode) : After viewing a disc, all data can be erased and it can be used to record new content.
The condition of the disc being used will dictate the available recording options as follows.

Notes
● If data has been erased from a disc using a different DVD recorder, it may not be possible to record new content to it using
this recorder. To avoid this type of situation, ensure that this DVD recorder is used to erase recorded data.
● New content cannot be recorded to discs that have been finalized.
It is possible to cancel the finalization and add a recording to a DVD-RW finalized on this machine.
● Regardless of whether or not finalization has been carried out, it will not be possible to use this DVD recorder to record new
content to a DVD-R or DVD-RW that has been recorded on using other devices.
