Setting the picture quality/
recording time
Before starting a recording, you will usually
want to set the picture quality/recording
time. There are six standard settings
available, which allow you to choose a
balance between picture quality and
recording time.
When Manual Recording is set to On (see
Manual Recording
on page 114), a further
option will be available (
MN1
to
MN32
or
LPCM
, depending on what you set).
When recording to DVD+R/+RW,
SLP
is the
longest recording time available. If you
select
SEP
or
MN1
to
MN3
, the recording
mode will automatically revert to
SLP
.
• Press repeatedly to select the
recording quality.

one hour of recording time on a DVD

The setting is indicated in the front panel
display, and shown on-screen together with
the recording time for a blank recordable
disc. If a recordable disc is loaded, the
approximate remaining recording time for
that disc is also shown. (Note that if the On
Screen Display setting (see
On Screen
Display
on page 117) is
Off
then this
information is not displayed.)
Basic recording from the TV
Basic recording from the TV involves just
setting the channel to record, choosing
whether to record to the HDD or a DVD and
selecting the recording quality.
1 Select the HDD or DVD for
recording.
• If you’re recording to DVD, load a
recordable disc (if you load a new blank
DVD-RW or DVD+RW disc, the recorder
takes a short while to initialize the disc).

or a Video mode DVD-RW, you must
initialize it before proceeding (see
