and is suited
f
or long-time recording or high-speed

About the remaining capacity of HDD recording time
:
The on-screen indication o
f
the possible recording time
left on HDD / DVD may differ from the actual recordable
time as this unit employs the variable bit rate encoding
system which varies the recording (storage) amount of
data in conformity with the amount of information on the
vi
deo.
