Performance of any other discs are not guaranteed.

• You can play back DVD+RW on most DVD players

without finalizing. However, if you have added or
deleted chapters, or made chapters hidden, you
must perform “Make Edits Compatible” before being
able to see those effects on other units. (Refer to
page 68 for more details.) To play back discs other
than DVD+RW on other DVD players, you will need
to finalize.

Note

• This unit cannot record to CD-RW or CD-R.

• DVD+RW/+R, DVD-RW/-R and CD-RW/-R recorded on

a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may
not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or
if there is condensation on the player’s lens.

• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even

if it is recorded in a compatible format it may not be
played back because of the settings of the
application software used to create the disc. (Check
with the software publisher for more detailed
information.)

• Since the recording is made by the VBR (variable bit

rate) method, depending on the picture you are
recording, the actual remaining time for recording
may be a little shorter than the remaining time
displayed on the TV screen.

• You cannot record copy-protected program using

this unit. (Copy-protected signal is included in DVD-
video or some satellite broadcasts.)

• You cannot record “copy-once only” program on

DVD.
