Recording for DVD Discs
Before Recording
Recordable Discs
DVD-RW Discs
DVD-RW discs make it possible to
repeatedly make about 1,000 recordings of
high-quality sound and pictures attainable.
There are two types of DVD-RW discs
consisting of Ver. 1.1 and Ver. 1.1 (CPRM).
These discs can be recorded while
selecting the preferred mode from two
different recording formats (VR mode or
Video mode).
DVD-R Discs
4.7
DVD-R discs are able to record the high
quality pictures only once.
DVD-R discs can only be recorded in the
Video mode.
NOTE
When using DVD-RW discs in the Video
mode, record these discs after first
initializing the disc in the Video mode. For
further details, read the section on VIDEO
MODE INITIALIZE (page 88) of Disc
Setup.
When recording onto DVD-RW or DVD-R
discs, it takes a while until recording
begins (about 2 seconds for DVD-RW discs
and about 10 seconds for DVD-R discs).
Make sure to press ÆREC earlier when
recording onto DVD-RW or DVD-R discs.

Before Starting
Recording

NOTE
DVD recorders perform high-precision
recording. Pay attention to the following
matters so that data is recorded accurately
on the disc.
Do not subject the recorder to impacts.
Do not use the recorder in unstable
locations or locations subject to vibrations.
Do not unplug the recorder during
recording, writing of data, editing,
initialization, finalizing or any other
occasions when the recorder is operating.
Unplug the recorder only after turning the
power OFF. Furthermore, the
manufacturer is not responsible for
compensation for the contents of data in
the case data has been lost or was not
recorded.
Titles for which recording has been
interrupted due to a scratched disc, soiled
disc or other reason are displayed with an
exclamation point ! in front of the title
displayed on the DiscNavi menu and so
forth.
* CD-R and CD-RW discs cannot be
recorded with this recorder.
Initialization
DVD-RW discs must be initialized (formatted)
before using for recording. (Since DVD-R
discs are not required to be initialized, they
can immediately be recorded in the Video
mode.)
Initializing in the VR Mode
When an unused disc is loaded onto the
recorder, it is automatically initialized in the
VR mode.
