Recording functions

7.Recording quality

Select a recording quality from the 6 proposed using the key. *1: Best, *2: High, *3: Good, *4: Normal, *5: Basic, *6: Low.

Note: the choice of quality allows an adaptation to the remaining recording time on a DVD disc. The lower the quality is, the more space there will remain on the disc. For example with a DVD disc of 4.7 Gb using “Low” quality will give around 8 hours recording time, while “Best” quality will only give around 60 minutes. The figure 1 to 6 is displayed in the information banner when playing the recording. The quality choice is only valid for one particular programming session.

8.VPS/PDC

Activate the VPS/PDC function using the key to trigger recording at the actual time of the beginning of the broadcast. If the channel broadcasts VPS/PDC signals you can avoid the consequences of any delays in broadcasting.This adjustment is only valid for this programming session and for channels received via the aerial (PR - -).
