2) Record at the end of the disc (appending), the
new content will be written on free space.
The new title is shorter than the old (Title B).
Because the new title is shorter, a portion of the
previous title will remain on the disc. The unit will
automatically update the thumbnail and content
information of Title B as needed. A new Title D will
be created automatically. You can use the unit edit
functions to delete Title B.
The new title is longer than the old Title B.
Because the new title is longer, part of the old Title
C will be overwritten as well. The unit will remove
Title B, create a new Title D, and update the Title
C recording time.
This unit will accept four disc types for
:
DVD+RW /
DVD+R /
.
Recording
DVD-RW /
DVD-R
DVD+R :
These discs can only be written once.
Existing recordings can be hidden but not deleted.
Once a disc is finalized, no further record-
ings can be made. Although DVD + R offers less
recording flexibility than DVD + RW , the lower cost
per disc and the fact that the material can not be
erased or edited make it the best choice for large
distributions of recordings to friends or clients.
DVD+RW
DVD+RW discs can be written to and
erased multiple times . Existing recordings can be
deleted and disc space regained. These discs do
not require a finalization procedure.
If the disc has never been used, the format window
will be displayed on the screen:
Select OK and press button,
If the disc has been used, please consult page 19.
Therefore, any disc space already used by a recording
cannot be regained. A recorded DVD+R disc must be
Finalized before it will be compatible with other DVD
recorders.
formatting will
start automatically:
