Setting the picture quality/recording
time
Before starting a recording, you will usually want to set
the picture quality/recording time. There are four
standard settings available, which allow you to choose a
balance between picture quality and recording time.
It’s also possible to create a fifth, ‘manual’ setting for
picture quality/recording time. Before you can select this,
however, you will need to set the
Manual Recording
option in the Initial Settings menu (see Manual Recording
on page 104).
• Press REC MODE repeatedly to select a recording
setting.
You can also use the front panel controls: Press
FUNCTION repeatedly until the display shows ‘ REC
MODE ’, then use the SMART JOG dial to select the
recording mode.
• FINE – Fine picture quality
• SP – Standard play
• LP – Long play
• EP – Extended play
• MN – Manual (available only when manual recording
is on)
The setting is indicated in the front panel display, and
shown on-screen together with the recording time for a
blank recordable disc. If a recordable disc is loaded, the
approximate remaining recording time for that disc is
also shown. (Note that if the On Screen Display setting
(see
On Screen Display on page 95) is Off then this
information is not displayed.)
Basic recording from the TV

Recording starts immediately and continues until the

quality/recording time.
