Before Recording
Before you start recording…
• This recorder can record on various discs. Select
the disc type according to your needs (page 8).
• Check that the disc has enough available space
for the recording (page 25). For HDD,
DVD+RWs, and DVD-RWs, you can free up
disc space by erasing titles (page 66).
• Adjust the recording picture quality and picture
size if necessary (page 42).
z Hint
Timer recordings will be made regardless whether or not
the recorder is turned on. You can turn off the recorder
without affecting the recording even after recording
starts.
b Note
To play a recorded disc on other DVD equipment,
finalize the disc (page 35).
Like the SP or LP recording mode of VCRs, this
recorder has eight different recording modes.
Select a recording mode according to the time and
picture quality you need. For example, if picture
quality is your top priority, select the High Quality
mode (HQ). If recording time is your priority,
Super Extended Play mode (SEP) can be a
possible choice. Note that recording times in the
following table are approximate and the actual
times may differ. Note also that the maximum
continuous recording time for a single title is eight
hours. Contents beyond this time will not be
recorded.
Press REC MODE repeatedly to switch the
recording modes.
* The recording time for DVD+R DL (Double Layer)
discs is as follows:
HQ: 1 hour 48 minutes
HSP: 2 hours 42 minutes
SP: 3 hours 37 minutes
LSP: 4 hours 31 minutes
LP: 5 hours 25 minutes
EP: 7 hours 14 minutes
SLP: 10 hours 51 minutes
SEP
: 14 hours 28 minutes
“HQ+” recording mode
“HQ+” records pictures in higher quality than HQ
on the HDD. Set “HQ Setting” in “Features” setup
to “HQ+” (page 90). Maximum recording time is
21 hours for RDR-HX710 or 34 hours for RDR-
HX910. “HQ” appears in the display.
b Note
Situations below may cause slight inaccuracies with the
recording time.
– Recording a programme with poor reception, or a
programme or video source of low picture quality
– Recording on a disc that has already been edited
– Recording only a still picture or just sound

The recorder automatically receives and records
stereo and bilingual programmes based on the
ZWEITON system or the NICAM system.
The HDD and a DVD-RW (VR mode) can record
both main and sub sounds. You can switch
between main and sub when playing the disc. For
the HDD, you can select the sound track before
recording. Select “Main,” “Sub,” or “Main+Sub”
in “HDD Bilingual Rec.” of “Options” setup
(page 91).
A DVD+RW, DVD-RW (Video mode), DVD+R,
or DVD-R can record only one sound track (main
or sub) at a time. Select the sound track using the
Setup Display before recording starts. Set “DVD
Bilingual Rec.” to “Main” (default) or “Sub” in
“Options” setup (page 91).
ZWEITON (German stereo) system
When a stereo based programme is received,
“Stereo” appears.
When a bilingual ZWEITON based programme is
received, “Main,” “Sub,” or “Main/Sub” appears.
NICAM system
When a stereo or bilingual NICAM based
programme is received, “NICAM” appears in the
front panel display.
To record a NICAM programme, be sure to set
“Audio” of “Channel Setting” in “Settings” setup
to “NICAM” (default). If the sound is not clear
when listening to NICAM broadcasts, set “Audio”
to “Standard” (see “Channel Setting” on page 80).
z Hint
You can select the audio (main or sub) while recording
bilingual programmes using the (audio) button.
This does not affect the recorded sound.
Pictures with copy protection cannot be recorded
on this recorder.
When the recorder receives a copy guard signal,
the recorder continues to record but only a blank,
grey coloured screen will be recorded.
* The recorded disc can be played only on CPRM
compatible equipment (page 8).
