The recorder cannot record on a disc formatted in any other standard. When using such a disc, initialize it by using the disc-format function of this recorder. • The recorder may not record, dub, or edit some DVDRAM discs because they are edited/recorded with another manufacture's equipment or PC, contain a large number of titles, or have little remaining capacity. Also, a DVD-RAM disc may not be edited or recorded if its title contains still pictures. • When you load a DVD-RAM disc for PC, "INCORRECT DISC"may appear on screen. In this case, please format the disc to use with this recorder. • When you load a DVD-RAM disc for PC, "INCORECT DISC" may appear on screen. In this case, please format the disc to use with this recorder. • DVD-RAM discs formatted in UDF2.0 on a PC may be incompatible with this recorder. Before using these discs, initialize them on this recorder. • This recorder complies with current copyright protection technology and can copy a disc only when the disc permits copying once. When there is no indication on the disc, copying will not be allowed. Such an indication on a disc is required also for the Library Management database. DVD-RW • The disc can be erased and used again about 1,000 times. • Only the VR mode can be used for Ver.1.0 discs. • With Ver.1.1/1.2 discs, you can record by selecting the VR mode or Video mode. • When you record in the VR mode, you can record and erase repeatedly. By erasing unnecessary titles, you effectively increase remaining time. • When you record in the Video mode, you can record until the disc becomes full. • When you use the Video mode, you can newly record on the disc by formatting the disc. However, if the disc is formatted, all the recorded contents will be 10erased. DVD-R • You can record on the disc only in the Video mode. • You can record until the disc becomes full. • Finalizing the discs allows playback on other DVD players. However, the finalized discs can no longer be recorded. • Discs can be recorded repeatedly until they are finalized. • Only titles that were recorded under video mode can be played. However, titles recorded onto a CPRM compatible disc in the VR mode cannot be played. NOTES: • There are some players that cannot playback discs that were recorded with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback with other units. • This unit cannot record on DVD-RAM/RW/R discs that are 8 cm in diameter. • This unit cannot record on CD-RW/R. Recording format This unit has two modes for formatting discs for recording: VR mode and Video mode. When a blank new disc is loaded into this unit, the automatic format function starts to format the disc. (For the disc format setting in this step, see page 29.) VR mode • This mode can be used for DVD-RAM/-RW. • In this mode, the discs can be recorded and edited repeatedly. • The disc recorded in this mode can be played back with other DVD-RW-compatible players. • When a Ver.1.1 CPRM or Ver. 1.2 disc is used, you can record a "Copy Once" program (see page 51). Video mode • This mode can be used for DVD-R and DVD-RW (Ver.1.1/1.2). • When you finalize the disc after recording, the disc recorded with this unit can be played back with other DVD players. • Recording, editing or playback of an unfinalized disc can be done only with this unit. However, there are some limitation to editing operations. • In this mode, you cannot record a "Copy Once" program (see page 51). • When you record a TV program of a bilingual broadcast, only one of the audio modes can be recorded. You have to select it. Format modes that can be used with each disc The usable format depends on the media type as shown in the below table.
