times.

effectively increase remaining time.

the disc becomes full.

the disc if you reformat the disc. However, if the disc

erased.

players, the disc must be finalised. If a disc has been
finalised, you can no longer edit or record.

finalised or full.

NOTES:
• There are some players that cannot playback discs

that were recorded with this unit. We cannot guaran-
tee the playback with other units.

that are 8 cm in diameter.

• This unit cannot record on CD-R or CD-RW.

This unit has two modes for formatting discs for record-
ing: VR mode and Video mode.
When a new or unused disc is loaded into this unit, the
automatic format function starts to format the disc. (For
the disc format setting in this step, see page 24.)
