You can use DVD-RW and DVD-R discs to record video. This unit has two modes for formatting discs for recording: VR
mode and Video mode.
VR mode
• This mode can only be used for recording onto DVD-RW
discs.
• You can edit the recorded contents of a disc.
• You can record on a disc repeatedly, by deleting items that
you have recorded previously.
• The disc recorded in this mode can be played back with
other DVD-RW-compatible players.
Video mode
• This mode can be used for the recording on DVD-R and
DVD-RW (DVD-RW Ver.1.1, Ver.1.1 CPRM support and
Ver.1.2 CPRM support).
Read this before recording onto a disc
• You cannot edit the recorded contents of a disc.
• Additional recording is possible, but deleting of recorded
contents is not possible (Deleting is only possible in VR
mode).
• When you finalise a disc in Video mode, the recordings can
be viewed on compatible DVD Players. To confirm compat-
ibility, refer to your DVD Players operation manual.
Once you have finalised a DVD-R disc, you cannot make
any additional recordings.

If you want to play back your recordings on other DVD players, it is recommended to use DVD-R discs that have been recorded in Video
mode. You must finalise the disc to ensure that other players can read it correctly.
Please note that once a DVD-R disc is finalised, it is not possible to make any additional recordings.
DVD-RW discs, although not generally compatible with other DVD players, can be un-finalised after the finalisation process has taken place.
