Depending on the content being recorded, the recording times may

become shorter than indicated.

It is not possible to record or play continuously from one side of a

double sided disc to the other.

When “Recording time in EP mode” is set to “EP ( 6Hours )” in

the Setup menu (➔ page 39).

The sound quality is better when using “EP ( 6Hours )” than when

using “EP ( 8Hours )”.

It is not possible to record continuously from the first layer to the

second layer.

Note

• This unit uses variable bit rate (VBR) recording which varies the

amount of data recorded to suit the images, so actual recording

times and remaining recording times shown by the unit will be

different. (The difference will be especially noticeable with DVD-R

DL and +R DL.)

Use a disc with plenty of remaining time to be sure.

• When recording to DVD-RAM using EP ( 8Hours ) mode, play may

not be possible on DVD players that are compatible with DVD-

RAM. In this case use EP ( 6Hours ) mode.

The unit automatically selects a recording rate between XP and EP

( 8Hours ) that will enable the recordings to fit in the remaining disc

space with the best possible recording quality.

• You can use FR mode in timer recording (➔ page 18, 19, step 3)

and Flexible Recording (➔ page 17).

Refer to the control reference on page 12.

When you insert a new disc and a disc recorded on a computer or

other equipment, a format confirmation screen might be displayed.

Format the disc to use it. However all the recorded contents are

deleted.

Press [w,q] to select “Yes” and press [ENTER].

• Several steps are necessary to format a disc. Refer to “Deleting all

the contents of a disc –Format Disc” (➔ page 36).

The following screen appears when you have not processed the disc

for play on other equipment.

in “DVD Management” before finalizing.
