5 Recording mode

Shows the current recording mode (FINE, SP, LP, etc.), and the total recording time of the disc.

Note

•When using the simultaneous play and record feature, the display shows information for playback only.

•Data transfer rate shows the amount of video and audio information recorded on the disc. It is not an indication of picture/audio quality.

•The Video mode disc displays become the same as a DVD-Video disc once the disc is finalized.

•The total recording time figure shown in parenthesis is calculated based on a 12cm/4.7GB disc at the displayed record setting.

•Recording and playback times for TV recordings are approximately 0.1% shorter than the actual time. This is because of the slightly different frame rates of TV broadcasts versus DVD.

•The frame number is shown next to the elapsed time display when the disc is paused.

•Copy Once or Can’t Record messages may appear in the stop or recording displays. These indicate that the broadcast TV program contains copy control information.
