General Features

The DVD-R157 allows you to record and play high quality digital video on DVD-RAM/DVD±RW/DVD±R discs.

High quality digital audio and video recording and playback

You can record up to approximately 16-hours of video on a double side 9.4 GB DVD-RAM disc,up to 15-hours on a dual-layer 8.5GB DVD±R disc, and up to 8-hours on a 4.7 GB DVD-RAM/DVD±RW/DVD±R disc, depending on the recording mode.

Selectable Record Mode

You can set your recorder to one of five different recording speeds, each varying in recording quality and length. EP mode yields the most recording time, LP & SP modes provide less recording time with higher quality recording, and XP mode gives you the highest quality recording. There's also the FR (Flexible Recording) mode that lets you record with the best picture quality possible for the recording time and remaining space on the disc in timer recording.

Automated Quality Adjustment for Timer Recording If FR mode is selected, the video quality is adjusted automatically so that all video for the scheduled time can be recorded onto the free disc space. (See pages 43~44)
