Information on DVD recording
Note
• This recorder cannot record on CD-RW or
CD-R discs.
• DVD-RW/R and CD-RW/R discs recorded on a
personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may
not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or
if there is dirt of condensation on the player’s lens.
• If you record on a disc using a personal
computer, there are cases in which it may not
be played back because of the settings of the
application software used to create the disc, even
if it is recorded in a compatible format. (Check
with the software publisher for more detailed
information.)
• Discs recorded in Video mode on this unit cannot
record additionally using other DVD recorders.
• A DVD-RW disc formatted with this unit cannot be
used on other DVD recorders.
• Since the recording is made by the variable bit
rate (VBR) method, the actual remaining time
for recording may be a little bit shorter than the
remaining time displayed on the OSD, depending
on the picture you are recording.
