This recorder

requires

discs

and

recordings

to

meet

certain

technical

standards

in

order

to

achieve

optimal

playback

quality.

Pre-recorded

DVDs

are

automatically

set

these

standards.

There

are

many

different

types

of

recordable

disc

formats

(including

CD-R

containing

MP3

or

WMA

files)

and

these

require

certain

pre-existing

conditions

(see

above)

to

ensure

compatible

playback.

?

Customers

should

note

that

permission

is

required

in

order

to

download

MP3

/

WMA

files

and

music

from

the

Internet.

Our

company

has

no

right

to

grant

such

Disc

types

and

recording

formats,

modes,

and

settings

This recorder

can

play

many

different

kinds

of

DVD

discs:

pre-recorded

DVD-Video

discs,

DVD-RW,

DVD-R,

DVD+RW,

DVD+R(DL)

and

DVD-RAM

discs.

The

disc

format

for

DVD-R,

DVD+R(DL),

DVD+RW

discs

is

always

"Video

format"---the

same

as

pre-

recorded

DVD-Video

discs.

This

means

that

once

finalized,

you

can

play

a

DVD-R,

DVD+R

(DL),

or

DVD+RW

in

a

regular

DVD

player.

The

DVD-RAM

disc

format

is

Video

Recording

(VR)

format.

The

DVD-RW

disc

format

is

Video

Recording

(VR)

format

or

Video

format.

You

can

change

Recording

format,

if

required.

(Reinitializing

the

disc

will

erase

the

contents

of

the

disc.)

The

recording

mode

is

closely

related

to

the

disc

for-

mat.

If

the

disc

format

is

Video

Recording

format,

then

the

recording

mode

is

VR

mode;

if

the

disc

for-

mat

is

Video

format,

then

the

recording

mode

is

Video

mode

(except

for

DVD-Video,

which

is

not

recordable,

and

so

does

not

have

a

recording

mode).

These

can

be

changed

as

required

for

each

record-

ing

and

determine

the

picture

quality

and

how

much

space

the

recording

will

take

up

on

the

disc.

Notes

Notes

?

The

recording

times

shown

are

not

exact

because

the

recorder

uses

video

compression.

This

means

that

the

exact

record-

ing

time

will

depend

on

the

material

being

record-

ed.

?

When

recording

a

TV

broadcast,

if

the

reception

is

poor

or

the

picture

contains

interference,

the

recording

times

may

be

shorter.

If

you

still

pictures

the

time

may

be

longer.

The

?

The

time

available

may

decrease

if

you

heavily

?

If

using

a

disc,

make

sure

you

change
