On DVD-Audio, DVD-Video and Video CD, the producer of the material can control how these discs are played. This means that you may
not be able to control play of a disc with some operations described in these operating instructions. Read the disc’s information for details.
The features you can use with the different types of disc are as follows.

°°
The remaining capacity of the disc will not be increased even if erased.
DVD-RAM
≥
This unit is compatible with the Content Protection for Recordable
Media
(CPRM)
system so you can record broadcasts that allow
one copy, such as some CATV broadcasts, onto 4.7 GB/9.4 GB
DVD-RAM (these are CPRM compatible). It is not possible to
record onto DVD-R or 2.8 GB DVD-RAM.
≥
DVD-RAMs recorded on this unit cannot be played on incompatible
players.

We recommend using Panasonic’s DVD-RAM, which has
confirmed compatibility with this unit.

Some broadcasts carry signals that allow you to copy once, but you
cannot record them with DVD-R. Use DVD-RAM to record these
kinds of broadcast.

Before finalizing, erasing titles will not increase the disc’s available
time.
≥
After finalizing, these DVD-R can no longer be recorded on or
edited.
