•  The recording format setting 
is effective only for DVD-RW 
discs. You cannot change the 
recording format for a DVD-R 
disc. DVD-R discs will always 
be in Video mode.
•  You cannot mix two formats 
on one DVD-RW disc.
When you load a disc 
once recorded before, the 
recording format cannot 
be changed even if you 
change it in the Setup 
menu.
•  When inserting a blank 
DVD+RW or DVD+R disc, the 
error message (“Disc Error”) 
will appear. You cannot 
record on a DVD+RW/R. 
On this unit, DVD+RW and 
DVD+R are for playback only.
•  Playlist will be created 
automatically when recording 
on DVD-RW in VR mode.
•  In Video mode, Auto Chapter 
may not show up as you 
specified.
•  A blank chapter may be 
created depending on the 
remaining time of the disc.
