Recording
■ FR (Flexible Recording Mode)
You can set FR (Flexible Recording) mode when copying or recording from external equipment. The unit automatically selects a recording rate
between XP and EP (8 hours) that will enable the recordings to fi t in the remaining disc space with the best possible recording quality.
For example with a 90 minute recording to an unused DVD-RAM, the picture quality is adjusted to between “XP” and “SP”.
When recording to the HDD, picture quality is automatically adjusted to precisely fi t a copied title on a 4.7 GB disc.
■ Recording modes and approximate recording times
Depending on the content being recorded, the recording times may become shorter than indicated.

Recording time of DR mode depends on bit rate of broadcasting.
2
It is not possible to record or play continuously from one side of a double sided disc to the other.
3
When recording to the HDD in “EP” or “FR (recordings 5 hours or longer)” mode, you cannot perform high-speed copy to +R, +R DL or +RW
discs.
4
When “Recording time in EP mode” is set to “6 hours” in the Setup menu (➡ 85). The sound quality is better when using “6 hours” than when
using “8 hours”.
RAM
When recording to DVD-RAM using “8 hours” mode, play may not be possible on DVD players that are compatible with DVD-RAM. Use
“6 hours” mode if playback may be on other equipment.
■ Regarding recording time remaining
DR mode recording
Remaining time in the DR mode is calculated with a bit rate of approx. 14 Mbps. But the bit rate differs depending on the broadcast, so the
displayed remaining time might be different from the actual remaining time.
Other recording modes (title conversion or from external input)
This unit records using a VBR (Variable bit rate) data compression system to vary recorded data segments to match video data segments which
may cause differences in the displayed amount of time and space remaining for recording.
If the remaining amount of time is insuffi cient, delete any unwanted titles to create enough space before you start recording.
2 programmes simultaneous recording
It is possible to record 2 programmes simultaneously.

– While recording from DV input, or executing “Recording via AV2 input”
– While high speed copying
– 2 programmes on same channel cannot be recorded simultaneously by pressing [
