Note
• This recorder cannot record on 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 be played back 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,
there are cases in which it may not be played back
because of the settings of the application software
used to create the disc, even if it is recorded in a
compatible format. (Check with the software pub-
lisher 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 on other DVD recorders.
• Since the recording is made by the variable bit rate
(VBR) method, the actual remaining time for record-
ing may be a little shorter than the remaining time
displayed on the OSD, depending on the picture you
are recording.
