The above table is based on the information as of February 2004. Recording and playback may not be performed depending on the characteristics and condition of the disc used, leading to unsatisfactory results. Using discs manufactured by JVC is recommended since they have been tested to be compatible with this unit.
DVD-RAM Discs It is only possible to use discs which conform with DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0 or 2.1.
Edited titles are displayed as the DVD menu in video mode. It is impossible to record, edit or delete the data either in video mode or in VR mode. Either in video mode or in VR mode, although the disc can be played back on DVD players from other manufacturers, sometimes it may not be possible to play back depending on the disc and recording conditions. It is impossible to record on CD-R/RW or DVD-R discs used for authoring. It is impossible to record onto DVD-R/RW (Video mode) discs broadcasts that allow you to copy once. The copy once programs can only be recorded onto DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode.
The following may result if you play back a DVD-R disc recorded on another unit. The disc does not play. A mosaic pattern (block noise) appears on the screen. Video or audio may be dropped out. The unit stops during playback.
It is impossible to record on DVD-RAM discs which do not conform to this standard. If you use a disc formatted under a different standard version, format it on this unit before use. It may not be possible to record, play back, edit or dub a DVD-RAM disc even if it conforms to the standard if it was recorded or edited on the devices from other manufacturers or on a PC, or if it has far too many titles, or if there is very little available capacity remaining on the disc. DVD-RAM discs recorded on this unit cannot be played back on an incompatible DVD player. It is possible to record copy-once programs of digital broadcasts only onto 4.7/9.4 GB DVD-RAM discs (2.8 GB DVD-RAM discs are not compatible).
