Step 1: Choose a disc type
There are several types of recordable DVD discs
to choose from. Choose a recordable DVD disc
type based on your playing/recording/editing
requirements. See “DVD disc types” at the bot-
tom of this page for more information on the dif-
ferences among various compatible media.
This DVD recorder can record on the following
type of discs.
* This unit cannot record on the following discs.
• DVD-RW Ver 1.2 / 2-4x CPRM compatible
• DVD-R General Ver 2.0 / 8x
For example, when you want to record repeated-
ly on the same disc or when you want to edit the
disc after recording, select the rewritable DVD-
RW type disc.
When you want to save recordings without any
alteration, a non-rewritable DVD-R can be your
choice.
