ing
d
ensity
and is suited
f
or long-time recording or high-speed
cueing but by contrast, has many
f
actors which can cause

HDD is a temporary storage
l
ocation:
HDD is not a permanent storage location of the recorded
contents. Be sure to use it as a temporar
y
storage location
until you watch the programs once, edit them, or dub
t
h

a
DVD
.
Be sure to dub (back up) data promptl

.
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.
Be
