Features
• HDD recording
Record up to 227 hours of video (in MN1 mode) on the
internal 80 GB (gigabyte) hard disk (HDD). With both
recordable DVD and a high-capacity HDD in the same
recorder, you have the flexibility to keep recordings on the
HDD for quick access anytime, or record to DVD for
archiving or playing on other DVD players.
• Copy between HDD and DVD
You can quickly and easily copy recordings between the
HDD and DVD. When copying to DVD you can usually
use the high-speed copy feature, which can copy an hour
of video in about one minute (when recorded in SEP
mode using a DVD-R Ver. 2.0 / 2.1 (16x) disc).
You can also choose to copy material at a different
recording quality from the original. For example, you
might want to copy an XP mode (highest quality)
recording on the HDD to SP (standard play) quality on a
DVD so that you can fit other recordings on the same
disc.
• One Touch Copy
One Touch Copy makes copying the currently playing title
from HDD to DVD, or DVD to HDD as simple as pressing
a button.
• High quality, real-time copying
When recording to the HDD, picture quality data is also
stored so that picture quality can be optimized when
making real-time copies to DVD later.
(This is applicable only to MN16–32 HDD recordings
(Video Mode Off), or MN12–32 / XP+ recordings (Video
Mode On).
• Chase play
Using chase play you can start watching a recording
from the beginning, while continuing to record. For
example, you could set a timer recording for a program
that you’re going to miss the first 15 minutes of, then
start watching while the recorder is still recording the
program 15 minutes ahead of you.
• Simultaneous recording and playback
HDD and DVD playback and recording are completely
independent. For example, you can record a broadcast
program to a recordable DVD, while watching another
recording you already made on the same DVD.
• On-screen Help
Use the
HELP
button on the remote control to display a
help screen for the current operation.
• Disc Navigator
The on-screen Disc Navigator makes finding your way
around the contents of a disc or the HDD easy. For
recordable DVD and HDD content, moving thumbnail
images are displayed for ease of use. The Disc Navigator
is also where you can edit HDD and recordable DVD
content.
• Home Menu
The Home Menu gives you on-screen access to all the
recorder’s features in one convenient place, from setting
up the recorder, to programming a timer recording and
editing a recording.
• Progressive scan-compatible
Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan
effectively doubles the amount of video information fed to
your TV or monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free
image. (Check your TV/monitor for compatibility with this
feature.)
• Cinema-style surround sound in your home
Connect this recorder to a Dolby Digital and/or DTS-
compatible AV amp/receiver to enjoy full surround sound
effects from Dolby Digital and DTS DVD discs.
• Easy Timer Recording
Setting the recorder to record a program is simple from
the Easy Timer Recording screen. Set the channel to
record and the recording quality, then graphically set the
start and end times of the recording. That’s it!
• Program up to 32 timer recordings
You can program the recorder to record up to 32
programs, up to a month in advance. As well as single
programs, you can specify daily or weekly recordings,
too.
