Using different disc types for different purposes
DVD-R/RW discs when creating your own original discs for distribution
DVD-R discs are designed to comply with the global standard DVD-Video format, and can be recorded only once.
DVD-R discs are convenient when you edit your original content (recorded personal events such as a wedding party)
with this recorder, transfer them to the recorder and make copies to send to your friends or relatives. The discs can
be played on other compatible DVD players. DVD-RW discs, which are rewritable, can be used as well.
We cannot guarantee that DVD-R/RW discs recorded on this recorder will be playable on all DVD recorders/players.
Similarly, there is no guarantee that all DVD-R/RW discs recorded on other recorders will be playable on this recorder.
