Preparing a Disc for Recording
ⅥThis DVD recorder is capable of recording to DVD-R and DVD-RW (in video mode).
DVD-R : Only discs that conform with DVD-R Standard 2.0 (video mode) can be used.
DVD-RW : Discs of Version 1.1 or later can be used.
Although Version 1.1 of DVD-RW standards allows the selection of video mode and VR mode for recording, this
DVD recorder performs recording in video mode only.
* Version 1.0 of the DVD-RW standards does not support video-mode recording, and for this reason, the corresponding
discs cannot be used.
ⅥIn terms of recording characteristics, DVD-R and DVD-RW (video mode) differ as follows.
DVD-R : Each disc can be recorded only once. Erasing of data and re-recording are not possible.
DVD-RW (video mode) : After viewing a disc, all data can be erased and it can be used to record new content.
The condition of the disc being used will dictate the available recording options as follows.
Disc condition Recording operations
DVD-R New content can be recorded. A new title is created and recording
starts from that title’s first chapter.
A new title is created in the unused section of the disc, and recording
starts from that title’s first chapter.
DVD-RW New content can be recorded. A new title is created and recording
starts from that title’s first chapter.

It is possible to cancel the finalization and add a recording to a DVD-RW finalized on this machine.

content to a DVD-R or DVD-RW that has been recorded on using other devices.
