Information:
This unit can record on DVD-RW / R discs and
DVD+RW / R discs.
DVD-R / +R discs allow you to record programmes
only once, and the recorded contents can be erased
although the space left on the disc does not change.
DVD-RW / +RW discs allow you to record
programmes repeatedly, and the recorded contents
can be erased.
There are 3 recording formats: VR mode, Video mode
and +VR mode. VR and Video modes are available
for DVD-RW discs while as only Video mode is
available for DVD-R discs. +VR mode is available for
DVD+RW / R discs.
Video mode is the same recording format as used on
the pre-recorded DVD-Videos you purchase in local
shops. You can play back the discs recorded in this
format on most of the DVD players. You will need to
finalise such discs (see page 57) before playing them
back on other DVD players. Unless finalised, you can
record additional materials or edit discs recorded in
Video mode with this unit.
VR (Video Recording) mode is a basic recording
format for DVD-RW discs.
You can record and edit material repeatedly. It is
impossible to record additional materials on a disc
formatted in VR mode and already recorded in
another video system other than PAL, such as NTSC.
+VR mode is a recording format for DVD+RW / R. You
can play back in this format on most of the DVD
player.
