Recording times and track lengths
DVD±RW discs recording
The total time recordable on a DVD±RW single-layer
disc depends on the sampling frequency.
In addition, the maximum file size is fixed at 2GB.
This means that the maximum recording time per track
also varies according to the sampling frequency.
All audio files must be at least four seconds in length.

HD recording
The total time recordable on the HD is significantly
longer than the time recordable on a DVD±RW disc.
However, the maximum file length on the HD is the
same as for a DVD±RW disc. There is a limit to the
recording time for each project. All audio files on the HD must be at least four seconds
in length.
The following recording times are estimates. You can-
not extend the recording time beyond the maximum
time specified for each project.
When you insert a new DVD±RW disc into the tray and
close it, the DV-RA1000HD displays a popup screen.
Press the
ENTER key to display the format screen
shown below. Follow the steps below to format the disc:
NOTE
You cannot use a DVD±R disc which is not re-
