possible to record onto DVD-R or 2.8 GB DVD-RAM.

dirt, dust, and scratches on the recording surface may make it
impossible to use the disc for recording.

with the write protected tab (page 65). With the tab in this
position, you cannot record to the disc, delete programmes with
the direct navigator, edit with the play list screen, or format the
disc.

DVD-RAM, but cartridge-type discs give better protection to your
valuable recordings.
