Introduction
To protect recorded contents
Slide the write-protect tab to
“PROTECT” with something small
enough. The disc can play, but
cannot be edited or erased. Refer
to the instructions that come with
the disc.
When using a disc without a
cartridge (commercially
available discs)
Discs without cartridges can easily
attract fingerprints and dust, which
is the reason they are not recommended. If you
cannot avoid using them, handle with proper care.
When you write in a title column on a disc, use a pen
with a soft tip. Do not use a pen with a hard tip, such
as a ballpoint pen.
Recommended discs
The following discs have been tested with this recorder:
9.4 GB double-sided cartridge: Panasonic 2X, 3X, 5X
4.7 GB single-sided cartridge: Panasonic 2X, 3X, 5X
On DVD-RW discs
Standards
Discs labeled DVD-RW Ver.1.1 can be used.
Discs compatible with 2X speed recording (labeled
Ver.1.1/2X etc,) can also be used.
Select discs labeled “for video,” “for recording,” “120
min.” etc.
Recording conditions
Video mode cannot record contents with restrictions
on recording (copy once contents). To record such
contents, select a CPRM compatible disc and initialize
it in VR mode before recording. (You can initialize the
disc again either VR mode or Video mode. Initializing
erases all contents in the disc.)
If deterioration in writing area on a disc is advanced by
repeat erasing and recording, the disc may not be
played on other device even if it can be played on this
recorder.
