Recording time

Notes

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. ([-R]DL] [+R]DL] The difference will be especially noticeable.) Use a disc with plenty of remaining time to be sure.

When recording to DVD-RAM using EP (8H) mode, play may not be possible on DVD players, even if they are compatible with DVD-RAM. In this case use EP (6H) mode.

FR (Flexible recording mode)

Using “Flexible Recording” is convenient in these kinds of situations: −When the amount of free space on the disc makes selecting an

appropriate recording mode diffi cult

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

e.g., Recording a 90 minutes program to 4.7 GB DVD-RAM disc: − If you select XP mode, the program will not fi t on one disc.

 

A second disc is necessary for

 

30 minutes of the program.

A tape recorded in VP mode by the unit cannot be played back by other VCRs.

It takes more time for automatic tracking to work when playing tapes recorded with VP mode, and it may not work at all with

some tapes. Do tracking manually if this is the case ( 35).
