What kind of disc should I use for
recording?
You can record on DVD±R, DVD±RW
or DVD+R DL discs. They are
compatible with DVD-Video players and
DVD-ROM drives in computers.
What is the capacity of a DVD±R/
+RW disc?
4.7GB, or equivalent to six CDs. You can
store only one hour of recordings on a
single disc at the highest quality (DVD
standard) and about 6 hours recording at
the lowest quality (VHS standard). The
recording mode indicates the number of
hours that will fi t on a single disc.
What is the difference between
DVD±R and DVD±RW?
DVD±R is “recordable” and DVD±RW is
“erasable” and “rewritable”. With a

same disc, but when the disc is full, no
more recordings can be made to the disc.
The DVD±RW allows you to record
over the same disc repeatedly.

available on a recordable DVD disc?
In disc menu mode, press REC MODE on
the remote control repeatedly to display
the remaining recording time in different
recording mode.
