2) Use the / buttons to select an item and
press ENTER.
AV Record Quality :

Edit Title Name :

PDC On :
Perform the programme PDC recording.
PDC (Programme Delivery Control System)
Programme PDC is a system of telling the recorder
when a programme actually starts. Typically, when
you want to record a programme you will tell the
recorder to start recording, probably, five minutes
before the advertised starting time of the
programme and to finish ten minutes or so after the
programme is due to finish. So even if the
programme starts early or finishes late you will
normally still get to see what you wanted to record.
However when live programmes over-run or the
day’s television schedule is changed from that
advertized, you may miss the desired programme
which may have been delayed or even cancelled
and the recorder will record the programme even if
it is two or more hours late. With PDC, you enter
the exact start time and the recorder will wait until
the signal is sent to confirm the programme is
starting and the recorder will record the programme
even if it is two or more hours late.
PDC Off :
Perform the normal programmed recording.
DVD-R Broadcast Record
:
Change the setting for writing on the DVD-R (
page 143) for each programmed recording.
Saving Mode :
Use this feature when you want to save space
while using the best picture quality rate for
recording. You can normally use 9.2 Mbps for
recording and reduce the rate temporarily for the
portion where the high rate is not required if the
picture is fairly constant.
Off : This feature is disabled and the normal
recording is performed.
On : This feature is enabled.
Notes
• When the audio quality is set to “L-PCM”, the
picture quality is set to “Manual 8.0 Mbps”. When
the audio quality is set to any other selection, the
picture quality is set to “Manual 9.2 Mbps”.
• While this is set On, you cannot change the mode
or rate.
• The space availability may not change, depending
on the picture contents.
Chap. Mute :
This feature automatically creates divisions for
chapters when no audio (no audible sound)
portion is found.
For example, when you have recorded a
programme of music clips, you can use this
feature to jump to the beginning of a clip during
playback. It does not create completely
independent chapters or automatically divide into
chapters when no audio portion is found.
Off : This feature is disabled.
On : Division for chapters when no audio portion
is found.
Notes
• Divisions for chapters may not be created,
depending on the contents of the programme or the
condition of no audio portion, or it may be created
at different positions. A division for a chapter may
be created within a music clip.
• Depending on the specification made for the
recording sound level, a division for a chapter may
not be created or it may be created at different
positions.
• Divisions for chapters cannot be created during
playback (including Chase Play and Title Playback
by HDD) or while the CONTENT MENU is
displayed.

recording.
