DVD-R
You can play DVD-R on compatible DVD players by finalizing
[the process that allows recordings on DVD-R to be played on
compatible DVD players, (page 35)] them on this unit,
effectively making them into DVD-Video.
ªBefore finalizing
You can record onto the available space on the disc and perform
editing functions, such as giving titles to discs and programmes
and erasing programmes.
You cannot record to or edit DVD-R with this unit if it was recorded
with another unit, whether it is finalized or not.
You cannot record over parts that have been recorded.
Erasing programmes will not increase the disc’s available time.
ªAfter finalizing
The video and audio is recorded according to the DVD-Video
specifications, and your very own DVD-Video is created.
≥The titles you entered with this unit appear as menus.
≥Programmes longer than 5 minutes are divided into 5-minute
chapters.
≥These DVD-R can no longer be recorded on or edited.
≥These DVD-R can be played on other DVD players, but this is not
guaranteed.
Play may not be possible due to the player you are using, the
DVD-R, or the condition of the recording. Use this unit to play the
disc if the player is unable.

For your reference
≥It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete recording
management information after recording finishes.
≥To record on DVD-R, this unit optimizes the disc for each
recording. Optimizing is carried out when you start recording after
inserting the disc or turning the unit on. Recording may become
impossible after the disc is optimized more than 50 times.
≥The first 30 seconds of a programme may not be recorded if you
make successive timer recordings.
≥The video is recorded in a 4:3 aspect irrespective of the video
signal input. Use the television's screen modes to change the
screen size for play.
≥Some broadcasts carry signals that allow you to make one copy,
but you cannot record these broadcast with DVD-R. Use
DVD-RAM to record these kinds of broadcast.
≥Play may be impossible in some cases due the condition of the
recording.
≥We recommend using DVD-R manufactured by Panasonic as
they have been tested to be compatible with this unit.
≥You cannot change audio type if a DVD-R is in the unit. Select
the audio type (M1 or M2) before recording by going to “Bilingual
Audio Selection” in the “Sound” menu.
