    1It is not possible to record or play continuously from one side of a 
    double sided disc to the other.
    *
    2When “Recording Time in EP Mode” is set to “EP–Extended Play 
    (6H)” in the Setup menu. (➡ page 38)
    The sound quality is better when using “EP–Extended Play (6H)” 
    than when using “EP–Extended Play (8H)”.
    *
    3It is not possible to record continuously from the first layer to the 
    second layer.
    ]Note]pThis unit uses variable bit rate (VBR) recording which varies the 
    amount of data recorded to suit the images, so actual recording 
    times and remaining recording times shown by the unit will be 
    different. (The difference will be especially noticeable with DVD-R 
    DL and +R DL.)
    Use a disc with plenty of remaining time.
    p[RAM] When recording to DVD-RAM using EP (8H) mode, play may 
    not be possible on DVD players that are compatible with DVD-
    RAM. Use EP (6H) mode if playback may be on other equipment.The unit automatically selects a recording rate between XP and EP 
    (8H) that will enable the recordings to fit in the remaining disc space 
    with the best possible recording quality.
    pYou can use FR mode in Scheduled recording (
    ➡ page 14, step 3) 
    and Flexible Recording (➡ page 13).
