OPERATIONAL WITH RECORDING
This unit will accept four disc types for Recording :
DVD+RW / DVD+R / DVD-RW / DVD-R.
DVD+R : These discs can only be written once.
Existing recordings can be hidden but not deleted.
Therefore, any disc space already used by a recording
cannot be regained. A recorded DVD+R disc must be
Finalized before it will be compatible with other DVD
recorders. Once a disc is finalized, no further record-
ings can be made. Although DVD + R offers less
recording flexibility than DVD + RW , the lower cost
per disc and the fact that the material can not be
erased or edited make it the best choice for large
distributions of recordings to friends or clients.
DVD+RW DVD+RW discs can be written to and
erased multiple times . Existing recordings can be
deleted and disc space regained. These discs do
not require a finalization procedure.
Note: For a new DVD+R/RW, it will take about a few
minutes to format it before recording.
