pletion of recording.
It may not be able to play some CD-R or CD-RW due to the
condition of the recording.

CDs are played. This means that you may not be able to control play

³
Do not allow the disc to become dirty or scratched. Fingerprints,
dirt, dust, and scratches on the recording surface may make it im-
possible to use the disc for recording.
³
If you use DVD-RAM with cartridges, you can protect your record-
ings with the write-protect tab (
➡
page 99). With the tab in the pro-
tect position, you cannot record to the disc, delete programs with
the direct navigator, edit with the play list screen, or format the
disc.
³
This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and cartridge
DVD-RAM, but cartridge-type discs give better protection to your
valuable recordings.
For your reference
³
DVD-RAM recorded on this unit cannot be played on
incompatible players (including players manufactured by
Panasonic).
³
Using a Panasonic DVD-RAM, you can record broadcasts that
allow you to make one copy, such as some CATV broadcasts.
