We recommend using the discs that have been recommended in the operating instructions of the 
DVD burner. Usually discs compatible with the DVD standard can be used for recording and 
playback with no problems. However, some commercially available discs do not meet the DVD 
standard for quality and performance. If you use one of these discs, you may not be able to record 
or playback normally. Refer to the operating instructions of the DVD burner for details about 
recommended discs, disc handling etc.
* You cannot record on a disc that has already been used. However if a DVD-RAM or a DVD-RW is 
formatted, then it can be used for copying.
