Guide to Recording Times
The time available for recording on a disc will depend on the video encoding bit rate and audio encoding format that have been set.
Furthermore, the more titles a disc contains, the less time will be available for recording. Use the following table as a guide to the
amount of time available for recording.
Notes
● If the SET UP button is pressed while in Recording mode, the video bit-rate setting and audio encoding format will be
displayed on-screen. Press the SET UP button once again to hide this information.
● When recording a music source it is recommended that the setting is either DOLBY DIGITAL or LPCM.
For MPEG, there can be deterioration in the sound quality, depending upon the compression characteristics.
