Configured recording (HDD or DVD discs)

the quality and the destination of the programme to be recorded to the hard disc (HDD) or to a
DVD R/RW disc.
Note:You can start a recording at any time by pressing the DVD REC button on the front twice to record
to a DVD R/RW disc or the HDD REC button on the front to record to the hard disc (also using the REC
button on the remote control).

increased by 30 minutes up until the maximum time remaining on the disc is attained.When
the maximum duration is reached, pressing again on B displays --h--min which indicates the
precise time remaining, for example 1 hour 12 min.

for a recording to the hard disc that you can copy later to a DVD R/RW disc, increase the
quality.
