DVD-RAM
The DVD-RAM can be compared with the hard disk and can be written to 100,000 times
on average. The disc can only be played on DVD-RAM-compatible players.
The recording occurs in DVD Video Recording format (VR). Movies and parts of movies can
be edited and deleted. The deletion of movies frees previously used storage space.
The creation of playlists does not require any additional storage space.
Dual-channel sound and 16:9 format are supported in addition to the TIME SLIP function.
DVD-Video format (V)
This recording format is the standard DVD-Video. Digital programmes that are limited to
"one-time recording" cannot be recorded. Not for recording and playback of still pictures.

The DVD-R/+R can only be recorded once. Movies or parts of them can be deleted during
processing, but storage space is still taken up and cannot be used for other movies.
Through finalization, the DVD-R/+R becomes DVD-V that can be played on other units.
The movies can no longer be edited after finalization.
DVD-RW(V)/+RW
(Rewritable)
DVD-RW(V)/+RW is rewritable and erasable. You must format this disc to be able to
rewrite it again. Through finalization, the DVD-RW(V) becomes a DVD-V that can be
played on other units. A finalized DVD-RW(V) can be reformatted and rewritten.
Formatting deletes all data!
A +RW becomes a DVD-V by creating a Top Menu.

DVD-R DL / +R DL (Double Layer DVD / Dual Layer DVD)
The data are saved on two parallel layers. You have more
space available. If the laser changes layers during playback, brief
image and sound distortions may occur.
If there is not enough capacity to record a title on the first layer, the rest is
recorded on the second layer. During the playback of a title recorded on two layers,
the unit automatically switches between the layers and plays the title back like a normal title.
You cannot record directly on a DVD-R DL/+R DL with this unit. You can record on the
hard disc and then copy the recording to the DVD disc.
