Recording time and picture quality
There are six preset recording quality modes
1
:
• XP – Highest quality setting, gives about one hour of
recording time on a DVD disc.
• SP (Standard Play) – Default quality, sufficient for
most applications, gives about two hours of
recording time on a DVD.
• LP (Long Play) – Slightly lower video quality, but
doubles the recording time on a DVD to around four
hours.
• EP (Extended Play) – EP gives you around six hours of
recording time on a DVD disc.
• SLP (Super Long Play) – SLP gives you around eight
hours of recording time on a DVD disc.
• SEP (Super Extended Play) – SEP gives you around
ten hours of recording time on a DVD disc.
Please note that there is a trade-off between recording
time and quality. The longer the possible recording time,
the lower the recorded picture quality.
In addition to these settings, when Manual Recording is
On (see
Manual Recording on page 96) you can access 32
different recording quality/time settings ( MN1 – MN32 ), a
high-quality audio mode ( LPCM ), and a super-high
quality (data transfer rate of around 15 Mbps) HDD
recording mode (
XP+ ).
When setting a timer recording there is a further option,
AUTO , which maximizes the recording quality for the
space available on the disc loaded at the time of
recording. (If recording to the HDD, the recording quality
is maximized to fit on to a DVD disc.)
Recorded audio
In all except the LPCM mode, sound is recorded in two
channel Dolby Digital format. When set to LPCM , sound
is recorded in high quality, uncompressed Linear PCM
format.
If the broadcast audio has a SAP channel and you are
recording in Video mode or to the HDD with the HDD
Recording Format set to Video Mode On, or on the
LPCM
setting, use the AUDIO button to select the Mono ,
Stereo or SAP audio channel to record before recording
starts. In other cases, if SAP is selected then both the
main and SAP audio channels will be recorded and you
can switch on playback.
The table below shows the different audio output
possibilities:
Restrictions on video recording
You cannot record copy-protected video using this
recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs
and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material
is encountered during a recording, recording will pause
automatically and an error message will be displayed on-
screen.
Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded on the
HDD or in VR mode (see below).
When recording a TV broadcast or through an external
input, you can display copy control information on
screen. (see
Displaying disc information on-screen on
page 32).
CPRM
CPRM is a copy protection/scrambling system developed
for the recording of ‘copy once’ broadcast programs.
CPRM stands for
Content Protection for Recordable
Media .
This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that
you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you
cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM
recordings can only be made on CPRM-compatible
DVD-R (ver. 2.0/8x or higher) or DVD-RW (ver. 1.1 or
higher) discs formatted in VR mode or on the HDD.
DVD CPRM recordings can only be played on players that
are specifically compatible with CPRM.
Recording equipment and copyright
Recording equipment should be used only for lawful
copying and you are advised to check carefully what is
lawful copying in the country in which you are making a
copy. Copying of copyright material such as films or
music is unlawful unless permitted by a legal exception
or consented to by the rightowners.

Note
1.All recording times (both in this manual and those shown by the recorder) are approximate. This is because of the way that the video is re-
corded; you may get slightly more or slightly less, depending on what you’re recording.
