HDD recording time remaining
This unit records using a VBR (Variable bit rate) data compression system to vary recorded data segments to match video data seg- ments which may cause differences in the displayed amount of time and space remaining for recording.
If the remaining amount time is insufficient, erase any unwanted programs to create enough space before you start recording. (Eras- ing a play list will not increase the amount of time.)
