About
DVD-R
and
DVD-RW
disc
How
are
DVD-R
and
DVD-RW
discs
different?
The
essential
difference
between
DVD-R
and
DVD-RW
is
that
DVD-R
is
a
record-once
medium,
while
DVD-RW
is
a
re-recordable/erasable
medium.
You
can
re-record/
erase a
DVD-RW
disc
approximately
1,000
times.
Can
I
play
my
recordable
discs
in
a
regular
DVD
player?
Generally,
DVD-R
discs
and
DVD-RW
discs
recorded
in
Video
mode
are
playable
in
a
regular
DVD
player,
but
they
must
be
'finalized'
first.
This
process
fixes
the
con-
tents
of
the
disc
to
make
them
readable
to
other
DVD
players
as
DVD-Video
discs.
DVD-RW
discs
recorded
in
VR
(Video
Recording)
mode
are
playable
in
some
players.
This
indicates
a
product
feature
that
is
capa-
ble
of
playing
DVD-RW
discs
recorded
with
Video
Recording
format.
What
are
'recording
modes'?
There
are
two
recording
modes
available
using
this
recorder:
VR
mode
and
Video
mode.
When
recording
to
a
DVD-R
disc,
recordings
are
always
in
Video
mode.
DVD-RW
discs
can
be
formatted
for
VR
mode
recording
or
Video
mode
recording.

Many
functions
of
this
recorder
are
dependent
on
the
recording
mode.
One
or
more
of
the
symbols
(,
)
appear
by
each
function
explained
in
this
manual
so
that
you
can
see
at
a
glance
whether
it's
relevant
for
the
disc
loaded.
You
can
find
more
information
on
disc
formats
and
recording
modes
on
page

ote
DVD-Video
Format
(Video
mode)
is
a
new
format
for
recording
on
DVD-R/RW
discs
that
was
approved
by
the
DVD
Forum
in
2000.
You
may
therefore
experience
problems
playing
recordable
DVD
discs
in
some
play-
ers.
Symptoms
include
video
artifacts,
audio
and/or
video
dropouts
and
playback
suddenly
stopping.
Our
company
cannot
take
responsibility
for
problems
playing
discs
recorded
on
this
recorder
in
other
players.
Is
editing
a
DVD
like
editing
a
video
tape?
No.
When
you
edit
a
video
tape
you
need
one
video
deck
to
play
the
original
tape
and
another
to
record
the
edits.
With
DVD,
you
edit
by
making
a
'Playlist'
of
what
to
play
and
when
to
play
it.
On
playback,
the
recorder
plays
the
disc
according
to
the
Playlist.
About
word
'Original'
and
'Playlist'
Throughout
this
manual,
you
will
often
see
the
words
Original
and
Playlist
to
refer
to
the
actual
content
and
the edited
version.
?
Original:
content
refers
to
what's
actually
recorded
on
the
disc.
?
Playlist:
content
refers
to
the
edited
version
of
the
disc
---
how
the

is
to
be
played.

About
the
internal
hard
disk
drive
The
internal
hard
disk
drive
(HDD)
is
a
fragile
piece
of
equipment.
Please
use
the
recorder
following
the
guide-
lines
below
to
protect
against
possible
HDD
failure.
We
recommend
that
you
back
up
your
important
record-
ings
onto
DVD-R/RW
discs
in
order
to
protect
against
accidental
loss.
?
Do
not
move
the
recorder
while
it
is
on.
?
Install
and
use
the
recorder
on
a
stable,
level
surface.
?
Do
not
block
the
rear
vent/cooling
fan.
?
Do
not
use
the
recorder
in
excessively
hot
or
humid
places,
or
in
places
that
may
be
subject
to
sudden
changes
in
temperature.
Sudden
changes
in
tempera-
ture
can
cause
condensation
to
form
inside
the
recorder.
This
can
be
a
cause
of
HDD
failure.
?
While
the
recorder
is
switched
on,
do
not
unplug
from
the
wall
socket
or
switch
the
electricity
off
from
the
breaker
switch.
?
Do
not
move
the
recorder
immediately
after
switching
it
off.
If
you
need
to
move
the
recorder,
please
follow
the
steps
below:
1.
After
the
message
POWER
OFF
is
shown
in
the
display,
wait
at
least
two
minutes.
2.
Unplug
from
the
wall
socket.
3.
Move
the
player.
?
If
there's
a
power
failure
while
the
recorder
is
on
there
is
a
chance
that
some
data
on
the
HDD
will
be
lost.
?
The
HDD
is
very
delicate.
If
used
improperly
or
in
an
unsuitable
environment,
it
is
possible
that
the
HDD
will
fail
after
a
few
years
of
use.
Signs
of
problems
include
playback
unexpectedly
freezing
and
notice-
able
block noise
(mosaic)
in
the
picture.
However,
sometimes
there
will
be
no
warning
signs
of
HDD
failure.
If
the
HDD
fails,
no
playback
of
recorded
material
will
be
possible.
In
this
case
it
will
be
necessary
to
replace
the
HDD
unit.

Notes
on
JPEG
Recordings
Depending
on
the
size
and
number
of
JPEG
files,
it
may
take
several
minutes
for
the
recorder
to
read
the
content.
If
you
don't
see
an
on-screen
display
after
several
minutes,
some
of
the
files
are
too
big
---
reduce
the
resolution
of
the
JPEG
files
to
less
than
4
megapixels.
The
total
number
of
files
and
folders
on
a
media
are
free
but
the
total
number
of
files
and
folders
on
the
folder
should
be
less
than
1999.
Some
media
may
be
incompatible
due
to
different
recording
formats
or
the
condition
of
the
media.
When
you
are
using
software
such
as
"Easy
CD
Creator"
to
burn
JPEG
files
on
a
CD-R,
ensure
that
all
selected
files
have
the
".jpg"
extension
before
copying
them
into
the
CD
layout.
If
the
files
have
".jpe"
or
".jpeg"
extensions,
please
rename
them
as
".jpg"
files.
File
names
without
the
".jpg"
extension
cannot
be
read
by
this
DVD
player,
even
though
the
files
are
shown
as
JPEG
image
files
in
Windows
Explorer.
Notes
on
MP3
Recordings
About
MP3
An
MP3
file
is
audio
data
compressed
using
the
MPEG1
audio
layer
3
file-encoding
scheme.
Files
that
have
the
".mp3"
file
extension
are
called
"MP3
files".
The
recorder
cannot
read
MP3
files
that
have
file
extensions
other
than
".mp3".
MP3
file
compatibility
with the
recorder
is
lim-
ited
as
follows:
1.
CD-R/RW
physical
format
should
be "ISO
9660"
and
"JOLIET".
2.
If
you
record
MP3
files
using
software
which
cannot
create
a
FILE
SYSTEM
(e.g.,
Direct-CD,
etc.),
it
is
impossible
to
playback
MP3
files.
"Easy-CD
Creator"
is
recommended.
3.
The
total
number
of
files
and
folders
on
the
media
are
free
but
the
total
number
of
files
and
folders
on
the
folder
should
be
less
than
1999.
This recorder
requires
discs/recordings
to
meet
certain
technical
standards
in
order
to
achieve
optimal
playback
quality.
Pre-recorded
DVDs
are
automatically
set
to
these
standards.
There
are
many
different
types
of
recordable
disc
formats
(including
CD-R
containing
MP3
files)
that
require
certain
pre-existing
conditions
(see
above)
to
insure
compatible
playback.
Please
note
that
permission
is
required
in
order
to
download
MP3
files
and
music
from
the
Internet.
Our
company
has
no
right
to
grant
such
permis-
sion.
Permission
should
always
be
sought
from
the
copyright
owner.

Precautions
Handling
the
unit
When
shipping
the
unit
The
original
shipping

and
packing
materials
come
in
handy.
For
maximum
protection,
re-pack
the
unit
as
it
was
originally
packaged
at
the
factory.
When
setting
up
the
unit
The
picture
and
sound
of
a
nearby
TV,
VCR,
or
radio
may
be
distorted
during
playback.
In
this
case,
position
the
unit
away
from
the
TV,
VCR,
or
radio,
or
turn
off
the
unit
after
removing
the
disc.
To
keep
the
surface
clean
Do
not
use
volatile
liquids,
such
as
insecticide
spray,
near
the
unit.
Do
not
leave
rubber
or
plastic
products
in
contact
with
the
unit
for
a
long
period
of
time.
They
will
leave
marks
on
the
surface.
Cleaning
the
unit
To
clean
the
cabinet
Use
a
soft,
dry
cloth.
If
the
surfaces
are
extremely
dirty,
use
a
soft
cloth
lightly
moistened
with
a
mild
detergent
solution.
Do
not
use
strong
solvents
such
as
alcohol,
benzine,
or
thinner,
as
these
might
damage
the
surface
of
the
unit.
To
obtain
a
clear
picture
The
recorder
is
a
high-tech,
precision
device.
If
the
opti-
cal
pick-up
lens
and
disc
drive
parts
are
dirty
or
worn,
the
picture
quality
will
be
poor.
Regular
inspection
and
maintenance
are
recommended
after
every
1,000
hours
of
use.
(This
depends
on
the
operating
environment.)
For
details,
