English Recording Discs for recording Several different types of recordable DVD discs can be used with this recorder: DVD±RW (DVD Rewritable) - Discs that are rewritable can be used for multiple recordings once the existing data is erased. DVD±R (DVD Recordable) - Discs can only be used for a single recording. Each new recording is always added at the end of all previous recordings as existing recordings cannot be overwritten. - Editing can be done on DVD±R discs as long as they have not been finalized. - To play a DVD±R on other DVD player, it must be finalized (see the chapter "Editing/ Finalizing Recording - Playing your recordings on other DVD players (DVD±R)".) After this is done, no more data can be added to the disc. DVD+R DL (DVD+R Double Layer) - Like the DVD+R, these discs can only be used for a single recording. The only difference is the capacity- 8.5GB. It offers two recordable layers on a single DVD disc. The layers are accessible from the same side of the disc, so recording can occur completely uninterrupted.
