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.

Yes when you are in "VR" mode...not "video" recording mode for DVD-RW and DVD+RW disks. I just did it using a -RW formated in VR.RP

It will record on either one. The - discs a have to be finalized to play on other machines.

Hi Sydney,Yes. You can use these blank DVD-Rs to record your videos and audio sources onto.

You can use DVD+R discs. There is no real difference between DVD+R and DVD-R essentially they are the same. Yes you can watch recorded DVD's.

Yes you can record directly to a DVD. Or if you wish first to HDD, edit it, and then copy to DVD.

This unit can record to DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD-R. Does not handle double layer disks. The RW varieties can be written and rewritten. The R varieties can only be written to once. All are 4.7Gb but you can choose several recording modes that will give you from one hour (best quality) to 6 hours (poorest quality) recording times per disk.

I am getting a similar problem using dvd + r discs. I used to be able to record onto these discs, but now suddenly I keep getting the message: "This disc cannot be played. please check the disc". It is now impossible for me to record and may as well junk this machine and buy a more reliab le unit.

I prefer to use DVD-RW media...it also works. But as the previous poster said you have to finalize the DVD in the recorder. After that you can use any DVD player.

If you record on a DVD+R,DVD-RW,or DVD-R disc, you have to finalize the disc to play them back on other machines. This procedure is explained on pages 54 and 55 of the owners manual. You begin by pressing setup on the remote,select disc edit then press OK,use up/down arrows to select finalize then press OK,use up/down arrows to select yes then press OK. It will take several minutes to complete the process and you can monitor it with the display at the bottom of the screen. After the display shows 100%,the display will disappear and the disc will be finalized. If you record on DVD+RW disc, you do not have to finalize the disc. The DVD+RW disc can also be erased and recorded on many times. You can find this information on page 80 of the owners manual.

Yes, you can. This unit only records when there is a DVD in the drive bay-I originally thought there was a hard drive to buffer the recording; there is not. Great unit, have using ours for a couple of years.

Yes, the unit accepts most common recordable DVD media. You may record directly to DVD or dub from the HDD of previously recorded items.

YES!.....You can DEFINITELY record from the unit's HDD onto a DVD-R.....(and also VICE-VERSA)! You can also record from the unit's HDD onto other formats, such as DVD-RAM, DVD+R.

According to the instructions Pioneer dv-2012k dvd player Can play DVD-R, -RW, -R DL and DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD+R DL discs recorded in the video mode and finalized, DVD-R/-RW/DVD-R DL discs recorded in the VR mode, Commercially available DVD Video Discs, Video CDs, and more The only Discs that won't play are: DVD-Audio discs, DVD-RAM discs, SACDs, CD-G, Blu-ray discs, HD DVDs, Discs that Have NOT been finalized, discs recorded with a packet writing, programs that can be recorded only once and that are already recorded on a DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD-R DL. So apparently it can play DVD9 Format Discs.

I think you mean dvd- or dvd+ discs. Yes it will record on both. With the DVD+ you can erase and record over if you want.

According to the manual for the DMR-EA-18. the following disks can be used: DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, +R, +r DL, and +RW. DVD-R DL is usable, but finalization is needed, and it will record only 4:3 aspect ratio. -R DL disks can only be played on equipment compatible with these discs. DVD RAM is rewritable, can record a 16:9 picture, and can record broadcasts that allow only one copy. So the answer is yes, but.
