HDD Recording
Format
Video Mode Off Recordings made to the HDD are made in VR mode. Use this setting if you don’t
need to transfer the recording later to a Video mode DVD.
Video Mode On • Recordings made to the HDD are compatible with Video mode recordings. This
setting is convenient if you want to transfer the recording to a Video mode DVD
as high-speed copy can be used.
When Video Mode On is used, you must select the audio channel you want to record when recording a bilingual broadcast. On the Video Mode Off
setting, both channels will be recorded and you can switch between them on playback. See also Bilingual Recording on page 130.
Playback
