Recording to DVD-R DL/DVD+R DL
discs
Recording to DVD-R DL/DVD+R DL discs is
generally the same as recording to regular
single-layer discs; however, please note the
following points:
• When the recorder switches from the
first layer to the second during recording
a DVD-R DL (Video mode) disc, a new
title is automatically started on the new
layer.
• Up to 99 titles can be recorded on a
DVD-R DL (Video mode) disc. If the 99th
title is being recorded when the layer is
switched, recording will stop.
• Up to 49 titles can be recorded on a
DVD+R DL disc.
• You cannot play, record additional
material to, edit or finalize a DVD-R DL or
DVD+R DL disc that has been recorded
on but not yet finalized on another DVD
recorder.
About HDD recording
Recording to the hard disk drive (HDD) is
very flexible; you have the full choice of
recording quality options, including manual
mode, and of course you can record, erase
and re-record as many times as you like.
The capacity of the hard disk drive means
that you can store many hours of video on it,
even using the higher quality recording
modes.
Important
• The maximum number of titles/chapters
per title that can be recorded on the
HDD is 999 and 99 respectively. No more
recording is possible on the HDD after
the maximum number of titles has been
reached.
• The maximum continuous recording
time for one title is 12 hours.
• It is possible to record both PAL and
NTSC titles on the HDD. Before
recording, you need to make sure that
the Input Line System setting (page 135)
matches the TV line system of the source
you’re recording.
HDD Video mode compatibility
When recording to the HDD you can choose
to record in one of two formats. Set the
format from the HDD Recording Format
item in the Initial Setup menu (see
page 131).
When set to Video Mode On, high-speed
copying from HDD to DVD-R/-RW (Video
mode) or DVD+R/+RW is possible. When
recording a bilingual broadcast, set which
channel you want to record from the Initial
Setup menu (see
Bilingual Recording on
page 127).
When HDD Recording Format is set to Video
Mode Off, high-speed copying from HDD to
DVD-R/-RW (Video mode) or DVD+R/+RW
isn’t possible. However, both channels of
bilingual broadcasts are recorded and you
can switch the audio on playback.
Recorded audio
In all except the LPCM mode, sound is
recorded in two channel Dolby Digital format
(only Dolby Digital 2.0 can be recorded; Dolby
Digital 5.1 recording is not possible)
. When
set to LPCM , sound is recorded in high
quality, uncompressed Linear PCM format.
If the broadcast audio is bilingual and you
are recording to DVD-R/-RW (Video mode),
DVD+R/+RW, or to the HDD with the HDD
Recording Format set to Video Mode On, or
on the
LPCM setting, use the Bilingual
Recording setting (page 127) to select the
A/L or B/R audio channel to record before
recording starts. In other cases, both
channels of a bilingual broadcast will be
recorded and you can switch on playback.
