Using CD-R/RW

sion, you may experience a delay in the early play back
time, and all recorded files may not play.
·
Some CD-R/RW discs may not be playable with this unit,
depending on the device which was used to burn them.
For contents recorded on CD-R/RW media from CDs for
your personal use, playability may vary depending on
contents and discs.
DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording
·
Once a DVD-R/RW recorded in Video Mode is finalized,
it becomes DVD-Video.
·
You can record onto the available space on the disc and
perform editing functions such as giving titles to discs
and programs and erasing programs before finalizing.
·
When programming is erased from a DVD-R, that space
does not become available. Once an area on a DVD-R is
recorded on, that area is no longer available for
recording, whether the recording is erased or not.
·
It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete
recording management information after recording
finishes.
·
This product optimizes the DVD-R for each recording.
Optimizing is carried out when you start recording after
inserting the disc or turn on the unit. Recording onto the
disc may become impossible if optimizing is carried out
too many times.
·
Playback may be impossible in some cases due to the
recording condition.
·
This unit can play back DVD-R discs recorded and
finalized with a DVD video recorder. It may not be able
to play some DVD-R discs depending on the disc and the
recording condition.
DVD-RW Disc Playback and Recording
·
Recording and playback can be performed on DVD-RW
discs in both Video and VR Modes.
·
Once a DVD-RW recorded in VR Mode is finalized, you
cannot perform additional recording.
·
Once a DVD-RW recorded in Video Mode is finalized, it
becomes DVD-Video.
·
In both modes, playback can be performed before and
after finalization, but additional recording, deleting and
editing cannot be performed after finalization.
·
If you want to record the disc in VR Mode and then
record in V Mode, be sure to execute Format. Be careful
when executing Format because all the recorded data
may be lost.
·
A DVD-RW blank disc is initialized to Video Mode when
first initialized.
·
