DVD- R
12 cm: 4.7 GB 8 cm: 1.4 GB General Ver. 2.0 (Video mode)
The above table is based on the information as of February 2004.
Recording and playback may not be performed depending on the
characteristics and condition of the disc used, leading to unsatisfactory results. Using discs manufactured by JVC is recommended since they have been tested to be compatible with this unit.
DVD-RAM Discs
It is only possible to use discs which conform with DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0 or 2.1.
It is impossible to record on DVD-RAM discs which do not conform to this standard. If you use a disc formatted under a different standard version, format it on this unit before use.
It may not be possible to record, play back, edit or dub a DVD-RAM disc even if it conforms to the standard if it was recorded or edited on the devices from other manufacturers or on a PC, or if it has far too many titles, or if there is very little available capacity remaining on the disc.
Some DVD-RAM discs are contained in a cartridge. This unit cannot handle this type of disc. Remove the disc from the cartridge (only discs with a removable cartridge); or the use of DVD-RAM discs not contained in a cartridge is recommended.
DVD-RAM discs recorded on this unit cannot be played back on an incompatible DVD player.
It is possible to record copy-once programmes of digital broadcasts only onto 4.7/9.4 GB DVD-RAM discs (2.8 GB DVD-RAM discs are not compatible).
DVD-RW

DVD-R/RW Discs
It is only possible to use DVD-R discs which conform with DVD-R standard Version 2.0. When a DVD-R/RW disc (Video mode) is finalised (pg. 87), it can be played back on a standard DVD player as a DVD VIDEO disc. When a DVD-RW disc (VR mode) is finalised (pg. 87), it can be played back on a standard DVD player compatible with the VR mode of DVD-RW discs.
Before finalising —
— it is possible to record on unrecorded areas of the disc, edit the disc title and programme titles, and delete programmes.

It is impossible to overwrite recorded areas of DVD-R discs.
Available recording capacity does not increase even if a recorded
programme is deleted from a DVD-R disc.
After finalising —
After a DVD-R/RW disc (Video mode) has been finalised, it is possible to play back the recorded programmes (video and/or audio) on a standard DVD video player as a DVD VIDEO disc.
Edited titles are displayed as the “DVD menu” in video mode.
It is impossible to record, edit or delete the data either in video mode or in VR mode.
Either in video mode or in VR mode, although the disc can be played back on DVD players from other manufacturers, sometimes it may not be possible to play back depending on the disc and recording conditions.
It is impossible to record on CD-R/RW or DVD-R discs used for authoring.
It is impossible to record onto DVD-R/RW (Video mode) discs broadcasts that allow you to copy once. The copy once programmes can only be recorded onto DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode.

File Structure Of Discs

DVD VIDEO
Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called “titles”. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called “chapters”. Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that can also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs are not divided into titles and chapters.
When you record a programme on a DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode) disc
A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural or bilingual to stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during playback. (墌 pg. 27)
When you record a programme on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode) disc
A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during either recording or playback. Once the disc has been finalised, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter marks are assigned automatically approximately every 5 minutes.

If the disc is not in its groove, it may be scratched or otherwise damaged. To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.
DVD-RAM discs contained in cartridges
Double-sided discs:
Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the side you wish to play back or record facing down. If you insert the disc with “Side A” facing down, programmes are recorded on the side A.

DISC INFORMATION

Care And Handling Of Discs

How to handle discs
When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the unit to malfunction.
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesives on its surface.
Recording side
Make sure that discs are not scratched and dirty on the recording side before use. Scratches and dirt on the recording side of a disc may hinder proper playback and recording. Also be careful that a DVD-RAM disc may get scratched or dirt when removed from cartridge then put back in after use.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the centre outwards. If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.
CAUTION:
Sometimes during playback, noise may appear or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.) These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.
