DVD-R Disc Pla back and Recording

• Once a D D-R recorded in ideo Mode is finalized,

it becomes D D- ideo.

• You can record onto the available space on the disc

and perform editing functions such as giving titles to

discs and programs and erasing programs before

finalizing.

• When programming is erased from a D D-R, that

space does not become available. Once an area on

a D D-R is recorded on, that area is no longer

available for recording, whether the recording is

erased or not.

• It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete

recording management information after recording

finishes.

• This product optimizes the D D-R for each

recording. Optimizing is carried out when you start

recording after inserting the disc or turning on the

unit. Recording onto the disc may become

impossible if optimizing is carried out too many

times.

• Playback may be impossible in some cases due to

the condition of recording.

• This unit can play back D D-R discs recorded and

finalized with a Samsung D D video recorder. It may

not be able to play some D D-R discs depending on

the disc and the condition of the recording.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic. Also,

do not use volatile chemicals, such as benzene or

thinner.

• If you move your D D Recorder suddenly from a

cold place to a warm place, condensation may

generate on the operating parts and lens and cause

abnormal disc playback. When this occurs, do not

connect the plug to the power outlet. Wait for two

hours, then insert the disc and try to playback again.

It will work properly when condensation has

evaporated.
