This unit can record on DVD-RW/-R discs.
DVD-RW discs allow you to record programmes repeatedly, 
and the recorded contents can be erased.
There are 2 recording formats: VR mode and video mode. VR 
and video modes are available for DVD-RW discs while as 
only video mode is available for DVD-R discs.

Video mode is the same recording format as used on the pre-
recorded DVD-videos you purchase in local shops. You can 
play back the discs recorded in this format in most of the DVD 
players. You will need to finalise such discs (see page 41) 
before playing them back in other DVD players. Unless 
finalised, you can record additional materials or edit discs 
recorded in video mode with this unit. VR (Video Recording) 
mode is a basic recording format for DVD-RW discs. 
VR mode offers advanced editing, and you can record and 
edit material repeatedly, however it is playable only on VR 
mode compatible unit. Finalisation is recommended before 
playing them back in other unit.

You can select a recording speed from 5 options.
The recording time will vary depending on the recording 
speed you select as follows.

• This table is intended for a standard new single-sided 

12 cm / 8 cm disc. The recording times are estimates and 
actual recording time may differ.

• The audio and video quality becomes poorer as the 

recording time gets longer.

You cannot record copy-protected video using this unit. Copy-
protected video includes DVD-videos and some satellite 
broadcasts. 
If copy-protected material is detected, recording will pause or 
stop automatically and an error message appears on the 
screen.
You can only record “Copy-once only” video using a DVD-RW 
disc in VR mode with Content Protection for Recordable 
Media (CPRM).
When recording a TV broadcast or an external input, you can 
display copy control information on the screen.
CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the 
protection of “copy-once” broadcast programmes.
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can 
record copy-once broadcast programmes, but you cannot 
then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can 
only be played back on DVD players that are specifically 
compatible with CPRM.

Some satellite broadcasts include copy-protected information. 
If you want to record them, refer to the following.

• This unit cannot record on CD-RW/-R discs.
• Discs recorded on a personal computer or a DVD or CD 

recorder may not be played back if the disc is damaged or 
dirty or if there is condensation on the recorder’s lens.

• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is 

recorded in a compatible format, it may not be played back 
or dubbed because of the settings of the application 
software used to create the disc. (Check with the software 
publisher for more detailed information.)

• Discs recorded in video mode on this unit cannot record 

additional information using other DVD recorders.

• Since recording is performed using the Variable Bit Rate 

(VBR) method, the actual remaining time for recording may 
be a little shorter than the remaining time displayed on the 
OSD, depending on the picture you are recording.
