General Description > Overview
DVD-RW (Video Mode)
This is a format that is used for recording data on a DVD-RW or DVD-R disc. The disc can be
played by an existing DVD player once it has been finalized.
If a disc that has been recorded in Video Mode by a different maker?s recorder but has not been
finalized, it cannot be played or additionally be recorded by this recorder.
DVD-RAM Disc Playback and Recording
DVD-RAM discs come with or without a cartridge. For this product, we recommend DVD-RAM
discs that come with cartridges.
Some cartridges are able to eject the disc inside.
Even if you are able to eject the disc, always use the disc with the cartridge to ensure correct
operation.
DVD-RAM discs have a Write Protect tab in order to avoid accidental erasure of recorded data.
With the Write Protect tab set to PROTECT, you can play the disc, but recording or erasing will
not work.
Set the Write Protect tab to UNPROTECT to format the disc or erase data.
Ensure that the recording mode is set to VR Mode. Otherwise, this product will not be able to
play the recording.
You cannot play a DVD-RAM in most DVD players due to compatibility issues.
Only DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0 discs can be played in this unit.
DVD-RAM recorded on this unit may not work with other DVD players. To determine
compatibility with these DVD-RAM discs, refer to the user?s manual for the player.
This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and cartridge DVD-RAM, but the write-protect
tabs on cartridge-type discs give better protection to your recordings.
COPY PROTECTION
Many DVD discs are encoded with copy protection. Because of this, you should only connect your
DVD recorder directly to your TV, not to a VCR.
Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture from copy-protected DVD discs.
