REC MODE

MPEG 2 format is used as recording format. As a guide for picture quality, the “bps” unit is used to represent how much data can be recorded per second. The larger this value is, the better the picture quality becomes but more capacity is required for the recording. Select XP or SP for programs where quick movement occurs, such as sports programs, and LP or EP for talk shows, etc. with relatively less movement.

The recording modes for a 4.7 GB disc are set as follows:

Recording mode		Recording amount	Maximum recording
		(approx.)	time (approx.)
	XP	10 Mbps	1 hour

	LP	2.5 Mbps	4 hours
	EP	1.6 Mbps	6 hours
