Recording
Before Recording
Before you start recording…
• This recorder can record on various discs. Select
the disc type according to your needs (page 8).
• Check that the disc has enough available space
for the recording (page 32). For DVD+RWs and
DVD-RWs, you can free up disc space by
erasing titles (page 69).
• Adjust the recording picture quality and picture
size if necessary (page 54).
z Hint
Timer recordings will be made regardless whether or not
the recorder is turned on. You can turn off the recorder
without affecting the recording even after recording
starts.
Notes
• If any digital teletext is operated while recording, it’s
contents will be recorded on the disc.
• If the subtitles are displayed while recording, they will
be recorded on the disc.
Recording mode
Like the SP or LP recording mode of VCRs, this
recorder has six different recording modes.
Select a recording mode according to the time and
picture quality you need. For example, if picture
quality is your top priority, select the High Quality
mode (HQ). If recording time is your priority,
Super Long Play mode (SLP) can be a possible
choice. Note that the recording time in the
following table is an approximate guide.
Press REC MODE repeatedly to switch the
recording modes.
Note
Situations below may cause slight inaccuracies with the
recording time.
– Recording a programme with poor reception, or a
programme or video source of low picture quality
– Recording on a disc that has already been edited
– Recording only a still picture or just sound
Unrecordable pictures
Pictures with copy protection cannot be recorded
on this recorder.
When the recorder receives a copy guard signal,
the recorder continues to record but only a blank,
grey coloured screen will be recorded.
* The recorded disc can be played only on CPRM
compatible equipment.
I want to record with the
best possible picture
quality, so I’ll select HQ.
