Cautions on handling discs
• Do not write on the printed side with a ball-point pen or
pencil.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic. Also, do
not use volatile chemicals, such as benzene or thinner.
• 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 suddenly from a cold
place to a warm place, condensation may generate on
the operating parts and lens and cause abnormal disc
playback. If this occurs, remove the disc and wait for one
to two hours with the power on before attempting
playback.

DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording

does not become available. Once an area on a DVD-R is
recorded on, that area is no longer vailable for recording,
whether the recording is erased or not.
• It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete
recording management information after recording
finishes.
• This product optimises the DVD-R for each recording.
Optimising is carried out when you start recording after
inserting the disc or turning on the unit.
Recording onto the disc may become impossible if
optimising 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 Hitachi DVD recorder. It may not be able

after finalisation, but additional recording, deleting and
editing cannot 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.
