We only use -R discs and can copy the DVD's w/o problem. We also know that the copies can't be altered.

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

I have made DVDs that play on other players. You need to make sure the setup is done properly, selecting the aspect ratio and DVD compatible for the sound. Also, you need to finalize the disk after you are done recording (P. 122 in my manual). Finally, make sure you use compatible media. I have used DVD-R successfully. I hope this helps.

Only if it is an external dvd recorder/player, check the compatibility for software version, and operating system supported. Good luck.

Compatibility can be a major problem with some Recorders and Blank DVD's. Contact the Sony geek squad to get the correct answer. Make sure you have all the information about the discs handy. I once had to return another brand back to Best Buy.

To burn on to dvd's, all you do is record the session. Once recorded, save it to the dvd as the location of the file. DVD-R is non-erasable so what ever you record, it will be the only thing on the disk. To put more sessions, check google.com to see what is required on your system. The DVD-RW is erasable so you can delete sessions and record again.

They are probably identical except for packaging color. You may need to see if your equipment requires +R or -R discs if it is older, but the DVD-R is most common.

R. Tran - No. The MDR513H and MDR515H can only record to DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW or DVD-RW disks.

Yes you can record on DVD's with it but you need blank disks. Unless you get get DVD-RW you can re format and record again

The Manual officially says no to DVD+Rs, but I have some DVD+Rs that I have burned and I am able to play them without any Errors. Do not have DVD-Rs to test. I used Power2Go to burn the DVDsBut generally I found that my upscaled DVDs & DVD+Rs from BDP-1590 do not look very well on my LCD compared to my previous 3 yr old Philips DVD recorder.

DVD-R are more compatible with Players & have a little more memory almost 4.7 GB. DVD+DL & DVD-DL are for recording 8.5 GB on Two Layers with Dual Layers DVD+DL & DVD-DL. I use DVD-R for 4.7 GB & DVD+DL for 8.5 GB

If you can connect to the output rca port of your tv tuner. Since the dvd recorder does not have a tuner it cannot record directly.

It is best to record on cd-r. Also, it depends on what was recorded. Some machines cannot play certain file formars

Hi, it sounds like you are using DVR RW's? Do they say RW on them? That usually means you can rewrite on them. The -R discs only let you write on them once and then it is final. If you insert the disc it should not format it. If I burn songs or files onto one of these and put it in my DVD drive it will only let me listen to the songs or look at the files. It will not let me burn anything else on them. Hope that helps.

You can record with either the vcr or the dvd mode and you can record your vcr tapes onto dvd discs.. For months, I was using it for only vcr recording, and then decided to catch up with the times and bought some dvd-rw dics. I love the dvd recording now that I'm using it. The only down side, that I see is that you have to re-format the dvd discs before recording again and it takes a while to initialize when you insert the disc in the machine.

I think so. I have only used DVD -R discs and not +R discs, so not 100% sure, but I believe it will copy both.
