What kind of disc should I use for
recording?
You can record on DVD±R, DVD±RW
or DVD+R DL discs. They are
compatible with DVD-Video players and
DVD-ROM drives in computers.
What is the capacity of a DVD±R/
+RW disc?
4.7GB, or equivalent to six CDs. You can
store only one hour of recordings on a
single disc at the highest quality (DVD
standard) and about 6 hours recording at
the lowest quality (VHS standard). The
recording mode indicates the number of
hours that will t on a single disc.
What is the difference between
DVD±R and DVD±RW?
DVD±R is “recordable” and DVD±RW is
“erasable” and “rewritable”. With a

same disc, but when the disc is full, no
more recordings can be made to the disc.
The DVD±RW allows you to record
over the same disc repeatedly.

In disc menu mode, press REC MODE on
the remote control repeatedly to display
the remaining recording time in different
recording mode.
