BASIC RECORDING EN 29

NOTES: Recording Mode

●It is recommended to format a DVD-RAM disc before use if you use the disc on this unit for the first time.

●When using a brand-new DVD-RW disc, format the disc either in VR mode or in Video mode. (
pg. 78)

●Recordings made on DVD-R/RW disc must be finalized to play back on other DVD players. Perform “Finalize A Disc (DVD Deck Only)” (
pg. 79).

●You can record up to 99 programs and 999 play lists on each disc.

●Some programs can only be recorded one time.

●When recording is started, an index of the first part of recording is automatically recorded. (
pg. 62) To record satellite programs, refer to page 36. To delete the index, refer to page 64.

●Recording sometimes may stop or cannot be performed even if there is enough available capacity remaining on the disc.

MPEG2 format is used as recording format. As a guide for picture quality, the “bps” unit is used to represent how much data can be recorded per second. The larger this value is, the better the picture quality becomes but more capacity is required for the recording. Select XP or SP for programs where quick movement occurs, such as sports programs, and LP or EP for talk shows, etc. with relatively less movement.

The recording modes for a 4.7 GB disc are set as follows:

Recording	Recording amount	Maximum recording
mode	(approx.)	time (approx.)
XP	9.4 Mbps	1 hour
SP	5 Mbps	2 hours
LP	2.5 Mbps	4 hours
EP	1.6 Mbps	6 hours
FR60–	The amount varies	1 – 6 hours
FR360*	depending on the
( pg. 60)	selected time.
FR420*		7 hours
FR480*		8 hours

* For details on FR mode, refer to “Free Rate Function” (
pg. 60)
