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 ( 86). 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
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 insuf cient, delete any unwanted titles to create enough space before you start recording.
Remaining time in the DR mode is calculated with a bit rate of 15 Mbps. But the bit rate differs depending on the broadcast, so the displayed
remaining time might be different from the actual remaining time.
2 programmes simultaneous recording
It is possible to record 2 programmes simultaneously.
