§1 It is not possible to record or play continuously from one side of a
double sided disc to the other.
§2 When “Recording Time in EP Mode” is set to “EP (6H)” in the

not be possible on DVD players that are compatible with DVD-
RAM. Use EP (6H) mode if playback may be on other equipment.
FR (Flexible Recording Mode)

(dubbing) or programming scheduled recordings.
The unit automatically selects a recording rate between XP and EP
(8H) that will enable the recordings to fit in the remaining disc space
with the best possible recording quality.
For example with a 90 minute recording to an unused DVD-RAM, the
picture quality is adjusted to between “XP” and “SP”.

adjusted to precisely fit a transferred (dubbed) title on a 4.7
GB disc.
