Free Rate Function

To record the entire programme, the unit automatically set the appropriate recording speed depending on the combination of the total time of the programme to be recorded and either the remaining disc space or the specified recording time (from 60 minutes to 480 minutes).

To record the entire programme within the actual remaining disc space

Select “FR (JUST)” in a recording speed selection procedure. ( pg. 57, 59)

●Note that this function is available only for timer programming recording.

To record the entire programme by specifying the desired recording time

Select “FR60–FR360”, “FR420” or “FR480” in a recording speed selection procedure. ( pg. 53, 57, 59)

To record a 25-min. long daily programme five times just on a same disc for example

Perform “VIDEO Plus+® Timer Programming” ( pg. 56) procedure. Be sure to set the recording speed to “FR125” and set Weekly/Daily Rec Function to “MON–FRI” in step E to fit the total recording time to the whole disc space.

NOTES:

●You can programme this unit to timer-record, regardless of the disc remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not enough, recording may stop in the middle of a programme. To avoid this, make sure of the disc remaining time before setting timer-programming.

(Example) If you programmed to timer-record for 60 minutes in SP mode on a 120-minute disc, the disc remaining time would be 30 minutes in XP mode, 60 minutes in SP mode, 120 minutes in LP mode, 180 minutes in EP mode, and 240 minutes in FR480 mode. Timer-recording will not complete beyond these remaining times.

●The maximum recording time of FR (JUST) mode is the same as the recording time of FR480 mode. When timer- programming a long programme in FR (JUST) mode on a disc whose remaining time is short, it is recommended checking the disc remaining time in FR480 mode to see if the remaining time is enough for the programme.

●Even if more than one programme are timer-programmed in FR (JUST) mode, only the first one is recorded.

●In order to ensure that the recording fits on the disc, this feature may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of the disc.

●There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the disc where the unit switches the mode.

Receiving Stereo and Bilingual Programmes

Your unit is equipped with a Digital stereo sound decoder (NICAM) making reception of stereo and bilingual broadcasts possible.

When the channel is changed, the type of broadcast being received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.

●“SUPERIMPOSE” must be set to “AUTO”. Otherwise the on-screen displays will not appear. ( pg. 93)

●If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the broadcast might be received in monaural with better quality.

Selection of the audio channel to be recorded on a disc

When a programme is recorded on a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc in VR mode, all audio channels of the receiving programme are recorded on the disc. When you record a programme on a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc in video mode, select the desired audio channel (from among “NICAM 1/MAIN”, “NICAM 2/SUB”, “MONO”) to be recorded on the disc. ( pg. 92)

NOTE:

Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a bilingual programme, refer to “Audio Channel Selection” on page 36.
