The disc must be fi nalized after recording ( 49).
All DVD-R, etc. discs recorded on this unit must be fi nalized before they can be played on other DVD players. Once
fi nalized, DVD-R, etc. become “read-only” and can no longer be used for recording. DVD-RW can be reused after
fi nalizing.
Whether DL discs recorded on this unit can be played on other DVD players will depend entirely on the capabilities of
that player. 100% compatibility is not guaranteed.

DVD-R DL and +R DL discs have two layers of recording surface on one side.
[-R]DL] Recordings are divided when recording changes from the fi rst layer to the second. Some images and audio
may be lost at this point.
[+R]DL] Recordings continue through the layer change with only a slight pause similar to what you will see with
commercial DVD-Video discs. Any recording exceeding 8 hours in length is automatically divided whether a layer
change is required or not.
