• This unit uses variable bit rate (VBR) recording which varies the
amount of data recorded to suit the images, so actual recording
times and remaining recording times shown by the unit will be
different. (The difference will be especially noticeable with DVD-R
DL and +R DL.)
Use a disc with plenty of remaining time to be sure.

play may not be possible on DVD players that are compatible with
DVD-RAM. In this case use “EP ( 6 Hours )” mode.
The unit automatically selects a recording rate between XP and EP
( 8 Hours ) that will enable the recordings to fit in the remaining disc
space with the best possible recording quality.

Flexible Recording (Ô 17).
