]Note]

pThis unit uses variable bit rate (VBR) recording which varies the amount of data recorded to suit the images, so actual recording times and remaining recording times shown by the unit will be different. (The difference will be especially noticeable with DVD-R DL and +R DL.)

Use a disc with plenty of remaining time.

p[RAM] When recording to DVD-RAM using EP (8H) mode, play may not be possible on DVD players that are compatible with DVD- RAM. Use EP (6H) mode if playback may be on other equipment.

FR (Flexible Recording)

The unit automatically selects a recording rate between XP and EP (8H) that will enable the recordings to fit in the remaining disc space with the best possible recording quality.

pYou can use FR mode in Scheduled recording (➡ page 14, step 3) and Flexible Recording (➡ page 13).

Using “FR mode” is convenient in these kinds of situations.
