Note

•This unit uses variable bit rate (VBR) recording which varies the amount of data recorded to suit the images, so actual recording times and remaining recording times shown by the unit will be different. (The difference will be especially noticeable with DVD-R DL and +R DL.)

Use a disc with plenty of remaining time.

•RAM When recording to DVD-RAM using EP (8H) mode, play may not be possible on DVD players that are compatible with DVD- RAM. Use EP (6H) mode if playback may be on other equipment.

FR (Flexible Recording)

The unit automatically selects a recording rate between XP and EP (8H) that will enable the recordings to fit in the remaining disc space with the best possible recording quality.

•You can use FR mode in Scheduled recording (Ô page 20, step 3) and Flexible recording (Ô page 19).

Using “FR mode” is convenient in these kind of situations

•When the amount of free space on the disc makes selecting an appropriate recording mode difficult

•When you want to record a long program with the best picture quality possible

e.g., Recording a 90 minutes program to disc

If you select XP mode

The program will not fit one disc.
