• Default setting:

Off

enough space on the disc at the recording quality set, the
recording will start, but it will be cut off when the disc is
full. Set

automatically adjust the recording quality to fit the
available disc space.

Note

• You may notice a reduction in picture quality if the

recorder has to fit a lot of extra material into the
remaining time available on the disc.

• If, even on recording level

, there is insufficient

space available on the disc, the recording is made on
the HDD at the quality setting you originally
specified.

• Optimized Recording only compensates for the first

(earliest starting) timer program if more than one has
been set.

• Optimized recording works only with DVD

recordings.

• Optimized recording can’t be used together with

VPS/PDC.
