• About Video mode and VR (Video Recording)
mode:
Video mode is the same recording format as
DVD-Video discs purchased locally, so that you
can play in most DVD players. To play in other
DVD players, you will need to finalize (see
page 35). Unless finalized, you can play, record
additionally or edit discs recorded in Video
mode with this unit.
VR (Video Recording) mode is a basic
recording format for DVD-RW. You can record
and edit repeatedly.
Recording speed
You can select a recording speed among 6 options,
and the recording time will depend on the recording
speed you select as follows.
*
Discs recorded in SLP or SEP on this recorder
may not be played back on other DVD
recorders or DVD players.
• The recording time are estimates and actual
recording time may differ.
• The audio and video quality is getting poorer as
the Recording time becomes longer.
• Each time [REC SPEED] is pressed, recording
speed and its allowed recording time will be
displayed.
Note
• This recorder cannot record CD-RW or CD-R
discs.
• DVD-RW/R and CD-RW/R discs recorded on a
personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may
not play if the disc is damaged or dirty or if there
is dirt of condensation on the player’s lens.
• If you record a disc using a personal computer,
even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there
are cases in which it may not play because of the
settings of the application software used to create
the disc. (Check with the software publisher for
more detailed information.)
• Discs recorded in Video mode on this unit cannot
record additionally using other DVD recorders.
• A DVD-RW disc formatted with this unit cannot be
used in other DVD recorders without any recording
using this unit.
• Since the recording is made by the variable bit rate
(VBR) method, depending on the picture you are
recording, the actual remaining time for recording
may be a little shorter than the remaining time
displayed on the OSD.
