DVD-R & DVD-RW Details
DVD-R
: Only discs that conform with DVD-R Standard 2.0
(video mode) can be used.
DVD-RW : Discs of Version 1.1 or later can be used.
Although Version 1.1 of the DVD-RW Standards
allows the selection of either video mode or VR mode
for recording, this DVD recorder performs recording
in video mode only.
* Version 1.0 of the DVD-RW Standards does not
support video-mode recording, and for this
reason, the corresponding discs cannot be used.
In terms of recording characteristics, DVD-R and DVD-RW (video
mode) differ as follows.
DVD-R
• Each disc can be recorded only one. Accordingly, these
discs are recommended for use in archiving or long-term
storage.
• Once a disc has been finalized, it can also be played on
other DVD players.
DVD-RW (video mode):
• After viewing a disc, all data can be erased and it can be
used to record new content.
• Once a disc has been finalized, it can also be played on
other DVD players.

Finalizing
When a DVD-R or a DVD-RW (video mode) has been finalized,
it can be played in the same way as any other DVD using a
standard DVD player. (☞ Page 42)
Recording to unused sections of a disc and the
modification of titles or display styles can be carried
out as required before a disc is finalized.
• In the case of both DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs, it is impossible
to overwrite previously recorded content with new data,
even if the disc in question has not yet been finalized. The
deletion of specific sections of data is also impossible.
• Regardless of whether or not finalization has been carried
out, it will not be possible to use this DVD recorder to
record new content to a DVD-R or DVD-RW that has been
recorded using other devices.
Once a disc has been finalized, it can be used as a
standard DVD and its recorded audio and video can
be played on this and other DVD players.
• After finalizing, a disc's titles can be selected from the top
menu.
• Additional recording will not be possible after finalizing.
• Although a finalized disc may in principle be played on
other DVD players, certain characteristics of the disc and
its recording conditions may make this impossible.
