The recording time display,
the transfer (copying)
process display and the
displayed recording time of
MP3 are different from the
actual time.
Times shown may disagree with actual times.
In DVD-R, DVD-R DL, +R or +R DL the remaining capacity does not increase even if titles are
deleted.
Available recording space on a DVD-RW (DVD-Video format) or +RW increases when the last
recorded title is deleted. (The recording space may increase slightly when other titles are deleted.)
If you repeat recording or editing about 200 times or more, the remaining capacity of the DVD-R,
DVD-R DL, +R or +R DL is reduced and then recording or editing may be disabled. (For the second
layer on DVD-R DL and +R DL, this happens after about 60 times.)
The time during fast forward and rewind, or the process during transfer (copy) may not be displayed
accurately.
Compared to the actual
recorded time, the elapsed
time displayed is less.
