JPEG CD-R/-RW
•
Use a 700MB(80 minutes) CD-R/-RW disc.
If possible, do not use a 800MB(90 minutes) or
above disc, as the disc may not play back.
•
If the CD-R/-RW disc was not recorded as a closed
ses-sion, you may experience a delay in the early
play-back time, and all recorded files may not play.
•
Some CD-R/-RW discs may not be playable with
this unit, depending on the device which was used
to burn them.
For contents recorded on CD-R/-RW media from
CDs for your personal use, playability may vary
depending on contents and discs.
•
Once a DVD-RW/DVD-R recorded in Video Mode is
finalised, it becomes DVD-Video.
•
You can record onto the available space on the disc
and perform editing functions such as giving titles
to discs and programs and erasing programs
before finalising.
•
When programming is erased from a DVD-R, that
space does not become available. Once an area on
a DVD-R is recorded on, that area is no longer
available for recording, whether the recording is
erased or not.
Using CD-R/-RW
•
It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete
recording management information after recording
finishes.
•
This product optimizes the DVD-R for each record-
ing. Optimizing is carried out when you start record-
ing after inserting the disc or turn on the unit.
Recording onto the disc may become impossible if
optimizing is carried out too many times.
•
Playback may be impossible in some cases due to
the condition of recording.
•
This unit can play back DVD-R discs recorded and
finalised with a Toshiba DVD recorder. It may not
be able to play some DVD-R discs depending on
the disc and the condition of the recording.
DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording
DVD-RW Disc Playback and Recording
•
Recording and playback can be performed on DVD-
RW discs in both Video and VR Modes.
•
Once a DVD-RW recorded in VR Mode is finalised,
you cannot perform additional recording.
•
Once a DVD-RW recorded in Video Mode is
finalised, it becomes DVD-Video.
•
In both modes, playback can be performed before
and after finalisation, but additional recording, delet-
ing and editing can not be performed after finalisa-
tion.
•
If you want to record the disc in VR Mode and then
record in V Mode, be sure to execute Format. Be
careful when executing Format because all the
recorded data may be lost.
•
A DVD-RW blank disc is initialized to VR Mode
when first initialized.
• DVD-RW (VR mode)
- This is a format that is used for recording data on a
DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc. You can repeat record-
ing, editing, deleting, partial deletion, creation of
playlist, and etc.
- A disc that is recorded in this mode may not be
played by existing DVD players.
• DVD-RW (Video mode)
-
This is a format that is used for recording data on a
DVD-RW or DVD-R disc. The disc can be played by
an existing DVD player once it has been finalised.
- If a disc that has been recorded in Video mode by a
different manufacturer's recorder but has not been
finalised it cannot be played or additionally be
recorded by this recorder.
•
DVD-RAM discs come with or without a cartridge.
For this product, we recommend DVD-RAM discs
that come with cartridges.
•
Some cartridges are able to eject the disc inside.
Even if you are able to eject the disc, always use
the disc with the cartridge to ensure correct opera-
tion.
•
DVD-RAM discs have a Write Protect tab in order
to avoid accidental erasure of recorded data. With
the Write Protect tab set to PROTECT, you can
play the disc, but recording or erasing will not work.
Set the Write Protect tab to UNPROTECT to format
the disc or erase data.
•
Ensure that the recording mode is set to VR mode.
Otherwise, this product will not be able to play the
recording.
•
You cannot play a DVD-RAM in most DVD players
due to compatibility issues.

played in this unit.

DVD-RAM recorded on this unit may not work with
other DVD Players. To determine compatibility with
these DVD-RAM discs, refer to the user’s manual
for the player.

This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and car-
tridge DVD-RAM, but the write-protect tabs on car-
tridge-type discs give better protection to your record-
ings.
