Recording
Discs for recording
Several different types of recordable
DVD discs can be used with this
recorder:
DVD±RW (DVD Rewritable)
– Discs that are rewritable can be used
for multiple recordings once the existing
data is erased.
DVD±R (DVD Recordable)
– Discs can only be used for a single
recording. Each new recording is always
added at the end of all previous
recordings as existing recordings cannot
be overwritten.
– Editing can be done on DVD±R discs
as long as they have not been fi nalized.
– To play a DVD±R on other DVD
player, it must be fi nalized (see the
chapter “Editing/ Finalizing Recording –
Playing your recordings on other DVD
players (DVD±R)”.) After this is done, no
more data can be added to the disc.
DVD+R DL (DVD+R Double Layer)
– Like the DVD+R, these discs can only
be used for a single recording. The only
difference is the capacity- 8.5GB. It offers
two recordable layers on a single DVD
disc. The layers are accessible from the
same side of the disc, so recording can
occur completely uninterrupted.
