[Note]

You can record while the unit is on standby for timer recording, but once the time for the timer recording to begin is reached, any recording taking place will stop and the timer recording will begin.

You cannot change the channel or recording mode during record- ing.

Release protection (cartridge page 10, disc page 36) when you record. [RAM]

When using a DVD-RAM for the first time with this unit, format it to ensure accurate recording (page 36, “Format”).

There are limitations when recording to DVD-R (page 10).

When recording MTS sound onto DVD-R or recording using LPCM, only one of either the main channel or the sub channel can be recorded. Select at “Select MTS”( page 45).

For your reference

You can record up to 250 programs on HDD, 99 programs on one disc.

This unit is compatible with the Content Protection for Record- able Media (CPRM page 54) system so you can record broad- casts that allow one copy, such as some CATV broadcasts, onto 4.7 GB/9.4 GB DVD-RAM (these are CPRM compatible). It is not possible to record onto DVD-R or 2.8 GB DVD-RAM.

Recording will take place on open space in the HDD or on disc. Data will not be overwritten.

It is possible to watch playback from one drive while recording from another (editing is not possible).

Almost all videos and DVD software on sale have been treated to prevent illegal copying. Any software that has been so treated cannot be recorded using this unit.

The unit automatically selects a recording rate between XP and EP that will enable the recordings to fit in the available recording time on the disc with the best possible recording quality.
