VHS Recording Modes and Durations
Notes
 This unit uses variable bit rate (VBR) recording which varies the
amount of data recorded to suit the images, so actual recording
times and remaining recording times shown by the unit will
be different. (
[-R]DL] [+R]DL] The difference will be especially
noticeable.) Use a disc with plenty of remaining time to be sure.
 When recording to DVD-RAM using EP (8H) mode, play may
not be possible on DVD players, even if they are compatible with
DVD-RAM. In this case use EP (6H) mode.
