If you want to repeatedly record on the same disc or you want to edit the disc after recording, select a rewritable DVD-RW or DVD-RAM type disc. If you want to save the recording without making any changes, choose a non-rewritable DVD-R. ▌Step 2 : Format the disc to start recording The recorder automatically starts formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the preparation of disc recording. Using a DVD-RAM This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). You can edit recorded video, create a playlist or edit video in a specific sequence according to your requirements. Using a DVD-RW • When an unused DVD-RW disc is first inserted, the message "Uninitialized Disc. Do you want to initialize this disc?" will be displayed. If you select Yes, initializing will begin. A DVD-RW disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode) Using a DVD-R When using a DVD-R disc, only V mode recording is possible and no initialization is needed to play it on this recorder. However, finalization is necessary to play this disc on other DVD players. ■ You can only use either the VR or Video mode on a DVD-RW, but not both at the same time. ■ You can format a DVD-RW to V or VR mode using disc manager. It should be noted that the disc's data will be lost when changing formats.
