Timer Recording
Before Recording
Before you start recording…
• Check that the disc has enough available
space for the recording (page 32). For
DVD+RWs and DVD-RWs, you can free
up disc space by erasing titles (page 59).
• Adjust the recording picture quality and
picture size if necessary (page 42).
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 Note
To play a recorded disc on other DVD equipment,
finalize the disc (page 35).
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 Notes
• The maximum continuous recording time for a
single title is eight hours.
• 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
