Setting the picture quality/

recording time

Before starting a recording, you will usually
want to set the picture quality/recording
time. There are six standard settings
available, which allow you to choose a
balance between picture quality and
recording time.

When Manual Recording is set to On (see

Manual Recording

on page 129), a further

option will be available (

MN1

to

MN32

or

LPCM

, depending on what you set).

When recording to DVD+R/+RW,

SLP

is the

longest recording time available. If you
select

SEP

or

MN1

to

MN3

, the recording

mode will automatically revert to

SLP

.

Press repeatedly to select

the recording quality.

XP

– High quality setting, gives about

one hour of recording time on a DVD
disc.

SP

(Standard Play) – Default quality,

used for most applications, gives about
two hours of recording time on a DVD.

SP, but doubles the recording time on a
DVD to about four hours.

recording time on a DVD disc.
