Before Recording
Before you start recording…
• This recorder can record on various discs. Select
the disc type according to your needs (page 10).
• Check that the disc has enough available space
for the recording (page 50). For DVD-RWs, you
can free up disc space by erasing titles (page 82).
z Hint
Timer recordings will start regardless of whether or not
the recorder is turned on. You cannot turn off the
recorder during a timer recording. The recorder
automatically turns off after the timer recording finishes.
Notes
• This recorder records at x1 speed.
• This recorder shares a single tuner for both the DVD
recorder and the VCR. You cannot record different
programs to a DVD and a VHS tape at the same time.
Recording mode
Like the SP or EP recording mode of VCRs, this
recorder has six different recording modes.
Select a recording mode according to the time and
picture quality you need. For example, if picture
quality is your top priority, select the High Quality
mode (HQ). If recording time is your priority,
Super Long Play mode (SLP) can be a possible
choice. Note that the recording time in the
following table is an approximate guide.
Press REC MODE repeatedly to switch the
recording modes.
Note
Situations below may cause slight inaccuracies with the
recording time.
– Recording a program with poor reception, or a program
or video source of low picture quality
– Recording on a disc that has already been edited
– Recording only a still picture or just sound
Recording a stereo/SAP program
The recorder can receive and record stereo/SAP
programs.
Stereo programs
When a stereo program is received, the
“STEREO” indicator lights up in the front panel
display. If there is noise in the stereo program,
press AUDIO repeatedly until the “MONO”
indicator disappears from the TV screen. The
sound will be recorded in monaural but with less
noise.
SAP (Second Audio Program)
When a SAP (Second Audio Program) is received,
the “SAP” indicator lights up in the front panel
display. To record only SAP sound, set “Tuner
Audio” of “Audio” to “SAP” in the “Setup”
display (page 102).
I want to record with the
best possible picture
quality, so I’ll select HQ.
