●Recording Speed (VCR)

AUTO : Select when you want to set video quality automatically. It depends on remaining time of VCR tape.

SP : Standard Play, for best picture quality.

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

●V/P (VPS/PDC)

VPS : Video Programme System

PDC : Programme Delivery Control

•Do not select V/P unless you are sure the programme you wish to record is broadcast with VPS/PDC. If you do set V/P to On, then you must set up the start-time EXACTLY according to the published TV schedule.

Otherwise the timer recording will not operate.

When you are recording at EP mode on a

Note DVD-RW(V mode)/-R disc, it may not record 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.
