Recording time and picture quality
There are six preset recording quality modes
1
:
XP
– High quality setting, gives about one hour of
recording time on a DVD disc.
SP
(Standard Play) – Default quality, used for most
applications, gives about two hours of recording time
on a DVD.
LP
(Long Play) – Lower video quality than SP, but
doubles the recording time on a DVD to about four
hours.
EP
(Extended Play) – Lower quality than LP, but gives
about six hours of recording time on a DVD disc.
SLP
(Super Long Play) – Lower quality than EP, but
gives about eight hours of recording time on a DVD
disc.
SEP
(Super Extended Play) – Lowest video quality but
gives about ten hours of recording time on a DVD
disc.
Please note that there is a trade-off between recording
time and quality. The longer the possible recording time,
the lower the recorded picture quality.
In addition to these settings, when Manual Recording is
On (see
Manual Recording
on page 97) you can access 32
different recording quality/time settings (
MN1
MN32
), a
high-quality audio mode (
LPCM
), and a super-high
quality (data transfer rate of around 15 Mbps) HDD
recording mode (
XP+
).
When setting a timer recording there is a further option,
AUTO
, which maximizes the recording quality for the
space available on the disc loaded at the time of
recording. (If recording to the HDD, the recording quality
is maximized to fit on to a DVD disc.)
Recorded audio
In all except the
LPCM
mode, sound is recorded in two
channel Dolby Digital format. When set to
LPCM
, sound
is recorded in high quality, uncompressed Linear PCM
format.
If the broadcast audio is bilingual and you are recording
in Video mode or to the HDD with the HDD Recording
Format set to Video Mode On, or on the
LPCM
setting,
use the Bilingual Recording setting (page 95) to select
the
A/L
or
B/R
audio channel to record before recording
starts. In other cases, both channels of a bilingual
broadcast will be recorded and you can switch on
playback.
Restrictions on video recording
You cannot record copy-protected video using this
recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs
and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material
is encountered during a recording, recording will pause
automatically and an error message will be displayed on-
screen.
Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded on the
HDD or in VR mode (see below).
When recording a TV broadcast or through an external
input, you can display copy control information on
screen. (see
Displaying disc information on-screen
on
page 34).
CPRM
CPRM is a copy protection/scrambling system developed
for the recording of ‘copy once’ broadcast programs.
CPRM stands for
Content Protection for Recordable
Media
.
This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that
you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you
cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM
recordings can only be made on CPRM-compatible
DVD-R (ver. 2.0/8x or higher) or DVD-RW (ver. 1.1 or
higher) discs formatted in VR mode or on the HDD.
DVD CPRM recordings can only be played on players that
are specifically compatible with CPRM.

copying and you are advised to check carefully what is
lawful copying in the country in which you are making a
copy. Copying of copyright material such as films or
music is unlawful unless permitted by a legal exception
or consented to by the rightowners.

corded; you may get slightly more or slightly less, depending on what you’re recording.
