Introduction
Precautions for Disc Usage
Care of Discs to Ensure High-Quality Playback
ⅥFingerprints, dust, or any other similar contamination of the surface of a disc can lead to distortion in the playback of recorded
video and audio. For this reason, it is good practice to wipe each disc with a soft cloth before use.
Ⅵ Looking After Discs
● Using a soft cloth, wipe the disc gently from the inside to
the outside.
● If stubborn dirt is present on the surface of a disc, wipe first
using a slightly wet cloth and then using a dry cloth.
● Paint thinners, organic solvents, analog record cleaning
agents, anti-static sprays, and the like must never be used.
Failure to observe this precaution can lead to discs being
permanently damaged.
Ⅵ Handling Discs
● Removing a disc ● Placing a disc in its case
● Correct method for holding a disc
Your hands or fingers should not
come into contact with the
recording surface when holding
a disc.
Additional Notes on Disc Handling
ⅥNever wipe a disc using paint thinners, organic solvents,
alcohol, or record-cleaning fluid.
ⅥDo not use disc protectors or scratch guards.
ⅥStickers and other types of paper label should not be applied.
ⅥDo not use discs from which stickers or labels have been
removed.
ⅥDo not use discs on which illustrations or text has been printed
using a commercially-available label printer. First create a disc
using the unit before printing.
ⅥThe use of non-circular discs (i.e., heart or rectangular
shaped), warped discs, and cracked discs can lead to
breakage of the DVD recorder.
Storing Discs
ⅥAvoid storing discs in any of the following locations.
• Areas with high levels of humidity or dust, or areas where
mold is present.
• Areas exposed to direct sunlight or close to heating
equipment.
• Vehicle interiors during summer months.
ⅥTake care to avoid dropping or knocking discs.
ⅥPlace discs in cases and stack these cases for storage.
ⅥDiscs can be deformed or cracked as a result of stacking,
leaning, or dropping when not inside a case.

DVD-R & DVD-RW Details
DVD-R : Only discs that conform with DVD-R Standard 2.0
(video mode) can be used.
DVD-RW : Discs of Version 1.1 or later can be used.
Although Version 1.1 of the DVD-RW Standards
allows the selection of either video mode or VR mode
for recording, this DVD recorder performs recording
in video mode only.
* Version 1.0 of the DVD-RW Standards does not
support video-mode recording, and for this
reason, the corresponding discs cannot be used.
In terms of recording characteristics, DVD-R and DVD-RW (video
mode) differ as follows.
Ⅵ DVD-R
• Each disc can be recorded only one. Accordingly, these
discs are recommended for use in archiving or long-term
storage.
• Once a disc has been finalized, it can also be played on
other DVD players.
Ⅵ DVD-RW (video mode):
• After viewing a disc, all data can be erased and it can be
used to record new content.
• Once a disc has been finalized, it can also be played on
other DVD players.
• It is possible to cancel the finalization and add a recording.
Finalizing
When a DVD-R or a DVD-RW (video mode) has been finalized,
it can be played in the same way as any other DVD using a
standard DVD player. (
☞ Page 44)
Ⅵ Recording to unused sections of a disc and the
modification of titles or display styles can be carried
out as required before a disc is finalized.
• In the case of both DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs, it is impossible
to overwrite previously recorded content with new data,
even if the disc in question has not yet been finalized. The
deletion of specific sections of data is also impossible.
• Regardless of whether or not finalization has been carried
out, it will not be possible to use this DVD recorder to
record new content to a DVD-R or DVD-RW that has been
recorded using other devices.
Ⅵ Once a disc has been finalized, it can be used as a
standard DVD and its recorded audio and video can
be played on this and other DVD players.
• After finalizing, a disc’s titles can be selected from the top
menu.
• Additional recording will not be possible after finalizing.
• In the case of a DVD-RW, it is possible to cancel the
finalization and add a recording.
• Although a finalized disc may in principle be played on
other DVD players, certain characteristics of the disc and
its recording conditions may make this impossible.
