DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording
•
Once a DVD-R recorded in V Mode is finalised, it
becomes DVD-Video.
•
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 before finalising.
•
When programming is erased from a DVD-R, that space
does not become available. Once an area on a DVD-R is
recorded on, that area is no longer available for record-
ing, whether the recording is erased or not.
•
It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete record-
ing management information after recording finishes.
•
This product optimizes the DVD-R for each recording.
Optimizing is carried out when you start recording after insert-
ing the disc or turning on the unit. Recording onto the disc may
become impossible if optimizing is carried out too many times.
•
Playback may be impossible in some cases due to the
condition of recording.
•
This unit can play back DVD-R discs recorded and
finalised with a Samsung DVD video recorder. It may not
be able to play some DVD-R discs depending on the disc
and the condition of the recording.
DVD-RW Disc Playback and Recording
•
Recording and playback can be performed on DVD-RW
discs in both V and VR Modes.
•
Once a DVD-RW recorded in VR Mode is finalised, you
cannot perform additional recording.
•
Once a DVD-RW recorded in V Mode is finalised, it
becomes DVD-Video.
•
In both modes, playback can be performed before and
after finalisation, but additional recording, deleting and
editing can not be performed after finalisation.
•
If you want to record the disc in VR Mode and then
record in V Mode, be sure to execute Format.
Be careful when executing Format because all the
recorded data may be lost.
•
For an unused disc, a message that asks whether to ini-
tialize a disc or not.
If you select "Yes", disc will be formatted in VR mode.
•
Do not apply labels or stickers to discs. (Do not use discs fixed
with exposed tape adhesive or leftover peeled-off stickers.)
•
Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.
•
Do not use discs printed with label printers available on
the market.
•
Do not load warped or cracked discs.
Disc Storage
Be careful not to harm the disc because the data on these
discs is highly vulnerable to the environment.
•
Do not keep under direct sunlight.
•
Keep in a cool ventilated area.
•
Store vertically.
•
Keep in a clean protection jacket.
•
If you move your DVD Recorder & VCR suddenly from a cold
place to a warm place, condensation may generate on the
operating parts and lens and cause abnormal disc playback.
In this case, do not connect the plug to the power outlet and
wait for two hours. Then insert the disc and try to play again.
