DISC INFORMATION

Recordable/Playable Discs

You can use discs with the following logos for recording and
playback.

●

The above table is based on the information as of October 2004.

●

Recording and playback may not be performed depending on the
characteristics and condition of the disc used, leading to
unsatisfactory results. Using discs manufactured by JVC is
recommended since they have been tested to be compatible with
this unit.

DVD-RAM Discs

It is only possible to use discs which conform with DVD-RAM
standard Version 2.0 or 2.1.

●

It is impossible to record on DVD-RAM discs which do not
conform to this standard. If you use a disc formatted under a
different standard version, format it on this unit before use.

●

It may not be possible to record, play back, edit or dub a
DVD-RAM disc even if it conforms to the standard if it was
recorded or edited on the devices from other manufacturers or on
a PC, or if it has far too many titles, or if there is very little
available capacity remaining on the disc.

●

DVD-RAM discs recorded on this unit cannot be played back on
an incompatible DVD player.

●

It is possible to record copy-once programmes of digital
broadcasts only onto 4.7/9.4 GB DVD-RAM discs (2.8 GB
DVD-RAM discs are not compatible).

●

Although this unit supports 3x speed DVD-RAM discs, dubbing
cannot be achieved at 3x speed.

DVD-R/RW Discs

It is only possible to use DVD-R discs which conform with DVD-R
standard Version 2.0.

●

Although this unit supports 8x speed DVD-R and 4x speed
DVD-RW discs, dubbing cannot be achieved at 8x speed and 4x
speed respectively.

When a DVD-R/RW disc (Video mode) is finalised (

pg. 80), it

can be played back on a standard DVD player as a DVD VIDEO
disc.
When a DVD-RW disc (VR mode) is finalised (

pg. 80), it can be

played back on a standard DVD player compatible with the VR
mode of DVD-RW discs.

Before finalising

it is possible to record on unrecorded areas of the disc, edit the
disc title and programme titles, and delete programmes.

It is impossible to record or edit DVD-R/RW discs recorded on
other devices even if they have not been finalised.

Available recording capacity does not increase even if a recorded
programme is deleted from a DVD-R disc.

After finalising

After a DVD-R/RW disc (Video mode) has been finalised, it is
possible to play back the recorded programmes (video and/or
audio) on a standard DVD video player as a DVD VIDEO disc.

It is impossible to record,
edit or delete the data
either in video mode or in

depending on the disc and recording conditions.
