Recording format
This unit has two modes for formatting discs for record-
ing: VR mode and Video mode.
When an unused DVD-RW (Ver.1.1) is loaded into this
unit, the automatic format function starts to format the
disc. (For the disc format setting in this step, see page
27.)
VR mode
This mode can be used for DVD-RW.
In this mode, the discs can be recorded and edited
repeatedly.
The disc recorded in this mode can be played back
with other DVD-RW-compatible players.
When a Ver.1.1 CPRM disc is used, you can record a
"Copy Once" program (see page 53).
Video mode
This mode can be used for DVD-R and DVD-RW
(Ver.1.1).
When you finalize the disc after recording, the disc
recorded with this unit can be played back with other
DVD players.
Recording, editing or playback of an unfinalized disc
can be done only with this unit. However, there is some
limitation to editing operations.
In this mode, you cannot record a "Copy Once" pro-
gram (see page 53).
When you record a TV program of a bilingual broad-
cast, only the audio selected from main or sub can
be recorded.
