Several different types of recordable 
DVD discs can be used with this 
recorder:

 

DVD±RW (DVD Rewritable)
–  Discs that are rewritable can be used 
for multiple recordings once the existing 
data is erased.
      

 

DVD±R (DVD Recordable)
–  Discs can only be used for a single 
recording. Each new recording is always 
added at the end of all previous 
recordings as existing recordings cannot 
be overwritten.
–  Editing can be done on DVD±R discs 
as long as they have not been fi nalized.
–  To play a DVD±R on other DVD 
player, it must be fi nalized (see the 
chapter “Editing/ Finalizing Recording – 
Playing your recordings on other DVD 
players (DVD±R)”.) After this is done, no 
more data can be added to the disc.

DVD+R DL (DVD+R Double Layer)
–  Like the DVD+R,  these discs can only 
be used for a single recording. The only 
difference is the capacity- 8.5GB. It offers 
two recordable layers on a single DVD 
disc. The layers are accessible from the 
same side of the disc, so recording can 
occur completely uninterrupted.
