Basic Recording from a TV
Follow the instructions below to record a TV program.
Recording starts immediately and continues until the
disc is full or you stop the recording.
Note:
You must load a recordable disc for DVD recording.
1. Set a recording mode as necessary by pressing
REC MODE repeatedly. (HQ, SQ, LQ, EQ)
2. Use PR (v / V) buttons to select the TV channel to
record.
Changing TV Audio Channel
You can select the audio channel (language) to listen
by pressing AUDIO during viewing TV program. The
current audio channel is displayed on-screen.
Mono/Main → Stereo/Main → Stereo/Sub
If the sound is poor quality when set to Stereo, you
can often improve it by changing to [Mono/Main].
This recorder can record either NICAM or regular
audio. If the NICAM setting (page 13) is set to [On],
then if the broadcast is NICAM, the audio
automatically changes to NICAM and you can
record the NICAM audio. If the broadcast is non-
NICAM, the regular audio is always recorded.
If NICAM sound distortion occurs, due to poor
reception, you can switch off NICAM setting of the
program.
