• This DVD recorder features ‘AllWrite™’
technology, which allows users to record on
almost all types of recordable and rewritable
discs (CD-R/-RW, DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW).
However, it is still likely that certain brands of
discs cannot be used for recording on this DVD
recorder. For best results, please visit our website
for a list of recommended discs.
• Please note that you may not be able to success-
fully record a program, if the source material
is copy-protected (e.g. set in ‘Copy-Once’ or
‘Copy-Never’ modes).
• If you are using models which support double-
layer DVD recording, please be reminded that
one recording session in double-layer discs
cannot exceed 8 hours. Once the session has
lasted for over 8 hours, this DVD recorder will
automatically stop recording.
