Are these DVD-RW/-R formats? That's the required format my Funai Dvd/VCR recorder which I bought with them.

It's DVD-R format. It works fine with my recorder/writer, I hope it'll work fine for you, too.

The -R format is an older format "pre-2003" or so. I purchased the discs 6 months ago and they have worked with our -R format devices. I'm not an expert but as far as I know - yes these work with -R DVD devices.

It cannot read my DVD-RW's in VR format. I cannot comment on the +R, +RW, -R or the -RW's in video format right now because I have not tried them.

Bud Bundy is right, it is personal preference and also what works best if you intend on playing recorded disks on another player. I use the -R and -RW disks, because this format is more compatible with most DVD players - especially if you have an older one you want to play your recordings on. Eventhough the -R can only be recorded once, I'll use it for things I want to keep and have no intention of recording over. The -RW I use for everyday use and a good quality disk is supposed to allow you at least 2000 recordings. I hear Verbatims are very good quality, but I've been using Maxell & Memorex , because that's what I had on hand. Has worked excellent for me.

These Sony DVD-R Discs (for recording video) should work in your recorder because I see that it accepts DVD-R,DVD+R,& DVDRW (which arereusable DVDs) & I have always prefered Sony over the other brands - Digital Audio Blank discs (also known as Cd-R Audio discs) are for music only. I hope this helps.

I'm not near the user manual or the device itself right now. I've only used it with DVD-R media. Normally any recorder that handles DVD-R ALSO handles DVD+R media. Don't know about DVD-RW.

I have been using a Teac recorder for several years and they work fine with it. My understanding is that the key words required are either "audio" rw cds or "music" rw cds, (they are one and the same) as opposed to regular data cds which are what we normally use on a computer. This was my second order on these and I'm pleased. I suggest trying them. Don't think they can hurt your recorder, even should theynot be the required ones.

I asked this question in another discussion but this discussion may be more appropriate:Which DVD format is best for recording on the Toshiba D-R400?DVD-R; DVD+R; DVD-RW; or DVD+RW? If there is info in the manual I don't see it.Thank you.

Yes, you can use +RW, -RW dvd's. Itvdoes not have a tuner, so you have to use the rca video from a tv tuner to the input of this recorder.

It's the dvd recording technology -R was developed by Pioneer the other by DVD Forum long time ago it mattered what equipment you had whether it was for -R or +R but now the machines (computers dvd recorders etc) can record & play back any of the two, same quality same speed, myself I've used both nowadays i go for the cheaper one, hopefully I've answered your question.

The main functional differences between DVD-R and DVD+R are:1) the DVD recorder's built-in defects management,2) the way the recorders format and rewrite DVDs,3) the price.They are created/approved by different organisations: -R (and -RW) are approved by the DVD Forum; +R (and +RW) are instead supported by the DVD+RW Alliance. The DVD+RW Alliance is supported by Sony, Yamaha, Philips, Dell, and JP, so it also has tremendous industry support for its technical standards. Note that Sony supports both organizations.If burning disks, you need to check which your burner supports, although as far as I'm aware, most (if not all burners) these days support both -R and +R. But it doesn't hurt to check, just to be on the safe side.

It's a different format. I use +. I can make data discs for my computer, or a DVD (Video_TS) for my DVD player on the TV.

According to the card specs that come with these blank discs, the Sony card says: These discs are compatible with DVD+R 4.7 Gbytes Basic Format Specifications Version 1.3. It also says to check your hardware manufacturer to confirm compatibility. Depending on the differences in use environment, equipment, & configuration, the actual usable capacity may be smaller than the one described on the device. 1 GB= 1 Billion Bytes. I have not had any trouble with them. My recorder is 5 years old & is a Panasonic Recorder. The Sony Discs are 1x-16x. It also depends on Recorder age of the unit. When the recorders wear out I've noticed that formatting any discs start acting up as far as discs being excepted by the recorder if regular cleaning of the unit does not work after so many years of recording. This Panasonic is my 3rd recorder which has a hard-drive. The other two were Lite-On and the oldest a Phillips model. Most of the original blanks were of different capacity in their early stages like 8x blanks. Now virtually all are 1x-16x today.

Be careful what DVD blanks you purchase. DVD+Rs that I recorded only played back on this machine. I was about to try DVD-R when the machine seemed to lose its control logic. Now it does not recognize any DVDs as readable or writable. It is not that old and has been flakey for a while.

Thank you message! The format of this product is Japan specification. You can only recording of Japanese specifications. Best regards!

Hi there, DVD-R stands for Recordable. DVD+R stands for Rewritable. +R = you can use again but they cost more. I'm sorry but I have not tried that feature on these.
