Buffer Length (video memory)
Your recorder may save the last 60 or 120 minutes of TV programmes in its memory.You can
define this duration here.
Default Rec. Quality
Your DVD recorder may record several hours of TV programmes or video sequences from a
device connected to DVD R/RW discs or the internal DVR hard disc.This capacity depends on
the space available and the quality set in the Default quality menu.
SmartRecord™
By activating the SmartRecord™ function of your DVD recorder it will adapt the quality of
your programmed recordings to one of the 6 settings so that you can record the entire desired
programme on a disc that has already been partially recorded.
Note: deactivate this function if you want to divide a title while playing it from the video library (via the edit menu).
Chapter Markers
When recording a title, your recorder organises the chapters by creating chapters of 5 minutes in
length.This then allows you to explore your recordings by jumping from chapter to chapter using the
Pr+ / Pr- key.You may select chapter lengths of 10 minutes if you wish,by positioning the function to
10 minutes.You may also decide not to create chapters by selecting
OFF (function de-activated).
VPS/PDC
Triggers all your programming at the actual broadcast times (if the channel broadcasts VPS/PDC signals).
Note: the VPS (Video Programming System) and PDC (Program Delivery Control) signals are transmitted at
the same time as certain programmes, by certain channels and in certain European countries. Leave this
function active to benefit from its benefits for all your programming. If the channel does not broadcast VPS or
PDC signals, your DVD recorder will record at the start and stop times selected during the programming of
the recording.
