depending on the device which was used to burn them.
For contents recorded on CD-R/RW media from CDs for
your personal use, playability may vary depending on
contents and discs.
• Once a DVD-R recorded in Video Mode is finalised, it
becomes DVD-Video.
• You can record onto the available space on the disc and
perform editing functions such as giving titles to discs and
programmes and erasing programmes before finalising.
• When programming is erased from a DVD-R, that space
does not become available. Once an area on a DVD-R is
recorded on, that area is no longer available for
recording, whether the recording is erased or not.
• It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete
recording management information after recording
finishes.
• This product optimizes the DVD-R for each recording.
Optimizing is carried out when you start recording after
inserting the disc or turning on the unit. Recording onto
the disc may become impossible if optimizing is carried
out too many times.
• Playback may be impossible in some cases due to the
condition of recording.
• This unit can play back DVD-R discs recorded and
finalised with a Samsung DVD video recorder. It may not
be able to play some DVD-R discs depending on the disc
and the condition of the recording.
• Recording and playback can be performed on DVD-RW
discs in both the Video and VR Modes.
• Once a DVD-RW recorded in both the Video and VR
Modes is finalised, you cannot perform additional
recording.
• Once a DVD-RW recorded in Video Mode is finalised, it
becomes DVD-Video.
• In both modes, playback can be performed before and
after finalisation, but additional recording, deleting and
editing can not be performed after finalisation.
• If you want to record the disc in VR Mode and then
record in V Mode, be sure to execute Format. Be careful
when executing Format because all the recorded data
may be lost.
• A DVD-RW blank disc is initialized to VR Mode when first
initialized.
• Do not use discs printed with label printers available
on the market.
• Do not load warped or cracked discs.

the operating parts and lens and cause abnormal disc
playback. If this occurs, do not connect the plug to the
power outlet and wait for two hours. Then insert the disc
