Using different disc types for different purposes
DVD-RAM discs for your personal library
DVD-RAM discs comply with the global standard DVD-VR (Video Recording) format, and are optimized for recording
of TV programs. You can rewrite repeatedly without deterioration of an image quality, erase unnecessary parts,
divide a chapter, or specify playback area by frame. Its cartridge is suitable for a longer-term storage and family use,
and its large capacity of 9.4 GB allows more recording space.
DVD-R discs when creating your own original discs for distribution
DVD-R discs are designed to comply with the global standard DVD-Video format, and can be recorded only once.
DVD-R discs are convenient when you edit your original content (recorded personal events such as a wedding party)
with this recorder, transfer them to the recorder and make copies to send to your friends or relatives. The discs can
be played on other compatible DVD players. DVD-RW discs, which are rewriteable, can be used as well.
* DVD-R may not be the best suited format for recording TV programs. Because of the way the discs are
formatted, it may not be possible to edit or divide the program as you may prefer, to record secondary languages,
or programs that are copy protected in a way that allows only one copy. (NOTE: "Copy once" protected programs
generally can be recorded to DVD-RAM/RW discs.)
We cannot guarantee that DVD-RAM/R/RW discs recorded on this recorder will be playable on all DVD recorders/
players. Similarly, there is no guarantee that all DVD-RAM/R/RW discs recorded on other recorders will be playable
on this recorder.
