Changing audio channels
Some TV programmes are broadcast with
both a main and a Secondary Audio
Programme (SAP). You can change the TV
audio using the
AUDIO
button.
• Press to change the audio type.
The current audio channel is displayed on-
screen.
• If
SAP
is selected, but there is no SAP
channel being broadcast, you will still
hear the main audio channel.
• If the sound is poor quality when set to
Stereo
, you can often improve it by
changing to
Mono
.
Note
• When recording to the HDD with HDD
Recording Format set to Video Mode On,
to DVD in Video mode, or on the
LPCM
setting, only one channel of a dual mono
broadcast is recorded. In this case,
decide which language you want to
record before recording by setting the
Dual Mono Recording setting (see
Dual
Mono Recording
on page 107).
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 109), a further
option will be available (
MN1
to
MN32
,
LPCM
, or
XP+
(a super-high quality HDD
recording mode that features a transfer rate
of around 15 Mbps) depending on what you
set).
When recording to DVD,
MN32
is the
highest recording quality available. If you
select
XP+
, the recording mode will
automatically revert to
MN32
.
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.
• 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.
