Note that older models of DVD recorders and DVD
writers may reject DVD-RW ver. 1.2 discs and/or corrupt
the data on the disc. If you want to share DVD-RW discs
between this recorder and an older recorder/writer, we
recommend using ver. 1.1 discs.
The following table shows older Pioneer DVD recorders’
limited compatibility with DVD-RW ver. 1.2 discs.
