Recording
Suggestions for the picture quality setting
• For normal recording or when you cannot decide which mode to choose.
Select “SP.”
• When you need a longer recording time and video quality is not important
Select “LP.” Inferior to “SP” in picture quality, but it can record longer.
• To record a high quality picture
Select “MN (Manual)” to set a desired bit rate. The higher the bit rate, better the picture quality is, but shorter the
recording length becomes. We recommend that you set about 6.0 Mbps to 6.8 Mbps.
• To fill the disc
Select “AT (Auto).” A bit rate is calculated automatically according to the remaining volume of the disc. Some
contents may not be recorded on the disc even if you select this function. This is not the function to make full use of
the remaining space capacity.
A timer program with this mark will be executed. To disengage, remove
this indicator.
Select a channel you want to record.
(While “L1” - “L3” is selected, the number buttons are not available to
select channels.)
Select a date of a TV program you want to record.
Enter a starting time of recording. (An initial setting is 10 minutes later than
current time.)
You can also use the number buttons under the lid of the remote.
Enter an end time. (Set the timer to begin recording no sooner than 2
minutes past the current time.)
You can also use the number buttons under the lid of the remote.

To set a rate automatically according to the remaining volume of the
disc. (If the disc does not have room for the TV program, the program
cannot be recorded to the end.)

intervals of 0.2Mbps from 2.0 to 9.2. (The upper limit of the value
depends on the “Audio” setting.)
