Basic recording from the TV
Basic recording from the TV involves just
setting the channel to record, choosing
whether to record to the HDD or a DVD and
selecting the recording quality.
1 Select the HDD or DVD for
recording.
• If you’re recording to DVD, load a
recordable disc (if you load a new blank
DVD-RW or DVD+RW disc, the recorder
takes a short while to initialize the disc).
• If you want to record a VR mode DVD-R
or a Video mode DVD-RW, you must
initialize it before proceeding (see
Initializing recordable DVD discs on
page 49).
2 Select a TV channel to record.
The front panel display shows the channel
number:
• While the recorder is stopped, you can
also use the number buttons on the
remote to select the channel (e.g., for
channel 24, press
2 , 4 then ENTER ).
• If the recorder is stopped, you can also
use the CH +/– buttons on the front
panel to select the channel number.
Note
1 Audio is recorded in 16-bit Linear PCM format, video is recorded at XP quality. When recording a broadcast with
a SAP channel, select which audio channel to record (see Dual Mono Recording on page 105).
2 Applicable only to HDD recording. (If this setting is used when recording to DVD, MN32 is used.) When copied
to DVD, XP+ recordings are always copied in real time.
