I took mine into McDonalds and got one of the guys behind the counter to look @ the instructions, he then told me.

Use DVD R.W if you want to record Tv programs over and over again and DVD R for any movie you want to keep.

Yes, you have to check your instructions to determine whether you need to use + or - media.

Hey Slippery,

Most new recorders can handle both DVD+RW and DVD+RW (but check). More importantly, I was driven nuts trying to use DVD R/W discs, my dvd player handles divx/avi files so I thought I would save money by using re-recordable media (RW discs) but every brand I bought only handled a few re-writes before it cra_pped out. Then I discovered SONY ACCUCORE disks, gold color discs with accucore written on them. These babies really are incredible, I have re-wrote over my first three discs atleast a 100 times, and now after a year two of them have cra_pped out, which beats the heck out of all the other brands I have ever used (TDK and other major manufacturers).

They are easy to find and just a little more expensive, but really worth it.

best wishes,

Jim

If your machine gives you the option use DVD-RAM disks.
