The recording media for this recorder 
are DVD±R, DVD±RW and DVD+R DL 
discs.

 

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 nalised. 

–  You can also delete unwanted recordings. 

However, the disc space occupied by the 
deleted recordings cannot be recovered 
for further recording.

–  To play a DVD±R disc on other DVD 

players, it must be fi nalised. After this is 
done, no more data can be added to the 
disc.  Read chapter “Edit Recordings - 
Recordable DVD - Finalising the DVD±R 
for playback” for details.

DVD+R DL (DVD+R Double Layer)

–  It contains the same usage as DVD+R, the 

only difference is the capacity of 8.5 GB. 
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.
