LP (low quality) : Select when a long recording time is required. (Approx. 4 hours)

EP (extended mode) : Select when a longer record- ing time is required. (Approx.6 hours at 1.2Mbps or Approx. 8 hours at 0.8 Mbps.)

●Recording Speed (VCR)

AUTO : Select when you want to set video quali- ty automatically. It depends on remaining time on the VCR tape.

LP : Long Play, for maximum recording time (3 times SP).

When you are recording in EP mode on a

Note DVD-RW(V mode)/-R disc, it may not record for the full 6 or 8 hours because the unit uses the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) ENCODING system. For example, if you record a programme with a lot of action, it uses a higher bit rate which in turn consumes more disc memory.
