An Introduction to DVDs You have probably heard of DVD discs and they come in various types and in two sizes the more common 12 cm DVDs and 8 cm Mini DVDs. This camcorder uses 8 cm DVD-R discs (like the supplied one) or DVD-RW discs (commercially available). So... what disc to choose? DVD-R Can be recorded only once. You cannot edit or delete the recordings. DVD-RW You can record it many times. You can delete scenes or initialize the disc and start recording again. Now that I have the disc... What disc standard do I choose to initialize it? VIDEO mode Once finalized, a disc recorded in VIDEO mode will play in most common DVD players. However, you cannot edit the recordings. VR* mode You can easily edit the recordings. However, you will be able to play the disc only with DVD-RW compatible DVD players. * Video Recording • Recommended Discs: This camcorder's performance was tested using the supplied discs and Hitachi-Maxell HG-series DVD discs. For use of other DVD media, contact directly the manufacturer's customer support center. • Attempting to record or play in this camcorder DVD discs that were recorded, initialized, edited or finalized with other digital devices can result in lost data. • You need to initialize newly bought DVD-RW discs with this camcorder before using them for the first time. 5
