You can use either of them with this recorder, but the former ones are recommended. • In order to record highly detailed data, make sure the disc is clean. DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are easier to handle in this regard. • Do not open the cartridge shutter. The disc may not play, or may not be recorded or edited once it becomes dirty. • There are two types of DVD-RAM car- tridges: removable (TYPE 2/4) and non- removable (TYPE 1).
