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 31). For DVD+RWs
(digital video disc-rewritable, plus RW), and
DVD-RWs (digital video disc-rewritable, minus
RW), you can free up disc space by erasing titles
(page 72).
• Adjust the recording picture quality and picture
size if necessary (page 47).
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 (digital video disc)
equipment, finalize the disc (page 41).
Like the SP (standard play) or LP (long play)
recording mode of VCRs (video cassette
recorder), 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 (high quality)). If recording time is
your priority, Super Extended Play mode (SEP
(super extended play)) 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 (recording mode) repeatedly
to switch the recording modes.
b
Note
Situations below may cause slight inaccuracies with the
recording time.
– Recording a program with poor reception, or a program
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 can receive and record stereo/SAP
(second audio program) programs.
Stereo programs
When a stereo program is received, the
“STEREO” (stereo) indicator lights up on the
front panel display. If there is noise in the stereo
program, set “Auto Stereo” in “Options” setup to
“Off” (page 91). The sound will be recorded in
monaural but with less noise.
