About DVD recording
otes
This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or
CD-RW discs.
Our company takes no responsibility for recording fail-
ure due to power cuts, defective discs, or damage to
the recorder.
Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect
playback and/or recording performance. Please take
proper care of your discs.
Disc types and recording formats, modes,
and settings
This recorder can play five different kinds of DVD disc:
pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, DVD-R,
DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format for DVD-R
discs is always “Video format”—the same as pre-record-
ed DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized,
you can play a DVD-R in a regular DVD player.
Notes for recording
The recording times shown are not exact because the
recorder uses variable bit-rate video compression.
This means that the exact recording time will depend
on the material being recorded.
When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception is
poor or the picture contains interference, the record-
ing times may be shorter.
If you record still pictures or audio only, the recording
time may be longer.
The displayed times for recording and time remaining
may not always add up to exactly the length of the
disc.
The recording time available may decrease if you
heavily edit a disc.
The overwrite recording is available with DVD+RW
disc.
