DVD-RAM Disc Playback and Recording
DVD-RAM discs come with or without a cartridge.
For this product, we recommend DVD-RAM discs that
come with cartridges.
Some cartridges are able to eject the disc inside. Even
if you are able to eject the disc, always use the disc
with the cartridge to ensure correct operation.
DVD-RAM discs have a Write Protect tab in order to
avoid accidental erasure of recorded data.
With the Write Protect tab set to PROTECT, you can
play the disc, but recording or erasing will not work.
Set the Write Protect tab to UNPROTECT to format
the disc or erase data.
Ensure that the recording mode is set to VR mode.
Otherwise, this product will not be able to play the
recording.
You cannot play a DVD-RAM in most DVD players
due to compatibility issues.
Only DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0. discs can be
played in this unit.
DVD-RAM recorded on this unit may not work with
other DVD players. To determine compatibility with
these DVD-RAM discs, refer to the user’s manual for
the player.
This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and
cartridge DVD-RAM, but the write-protect tabs on
cartridge-type discs give better protection to your
recordings.
Protection
Only JPEG files with the ".jpg", ".JPG" extension can
be used.
The unit can handle a maximum of 1000 files and
folders.
Maximum size of progressive JPEG is 3M pixels.
MOTION JPEG is not supported.
Use a 700MB(80 minutes) CD-R/RW disc.
If possible, do not use a 800MB(90 minutes) or above
disc, as the disc may not play back.
If the CD-R/RW disc was not recorded as a closed ses-
sion, you may experience a delay in the early play-
back time, and all recorded files may not play.
Some CD-R/RW discs may not be playable with this
unit, depending on the device which was used to burn
them.
For contents recorded on CD-R/RW media from CDs
for your personal use, playability may vary depending
on contents and discs.
DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording
Once a DVD-R recorded in Video Mode is finalized, it
becomes DVD-Video.
You can record onto the available space on the disc and
perform editing functions such as giving titles to discs
and programs and erasing programs before finalizing.
When programming is erased from a DVD-R, that
space does not become available. Once an area on a
DVD-R is recorded on, that area is no longer available
for recording, whether the recording is erased or not.
It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete
recording management information after recording
finishes.
This product optimizes the DVD-R for each recording.
Optimizing is carried out when you start recording
after inserting the disc or turning on the unit.
Recording onto the disc may become impossible if
optimizing is carried out too many times.
Playback may be impossible in some cases due to the
condition of recording.
This unit can play back DVD-R discs recorded and
finalized with a Samsung DVD video recorder. It may
not be able to play some DVD-R discs depending on
the disc and the condition of the recording.
DVD-RW Disc Playback and Recording
Recording and playback can be performed on a DVD-
RW discs in both the Video and VR Modes.
Once a DVD-RW recorded in VR Mode or Video mode
is finalized, you cannot perform addtional recording.
Once a DVD-RW recorded in Video Mode is finalized,
it becomes DVD-Video.
In both modes, playback can be performed before and
after finalization, but additional recording, deleting
and editing can not be performed after finalization.
If you want to record the disc in VR Mode and then
record in V Mode, be sure to execute Format. Be care-
ful when executing Format because all the recorded
data may be lost.
A DVD-RW blank disc is initialized to VR Mode when
first initialized.
