Timer Recording
Before Recording
Before you start recording…
Check that the disc has enough available
space for the recording (page 29). For
DVD+RWs and DVD-RWs, you can free
up disc space by erasing titles (page 65).
Adjust the recording picture quality and
picture size if necessary (page 48).
z Hint
Timer recordings will be made regardless whether
or not the recorder is turned on. You can turn off the
recorder without affecting the recording even after
recording starts.
b Notes
To play a recorded disc on other DVD equipment,
finalise the disc (page 32).
If digital teletext is operated while recording, it’s
contents will be recorded on the disc.
If the subtitles are displayed while recording, they
will be recorded on the disc.
Like the standard ×3 recording modes of
video tapes, you can select the desired
recording mode using the REC MODE
button.
Recording modes with higher quality provide
a more beautiful recording, but the large data
volume also results in a shorter recording
time.
Conversely, a longer duration provides a
longer recording time, but the lower data
volume results in a coarser picture quality.
Press REC MODE repeatedly to switch the
recording modes.
b
