RECORDING
Setting Recording Options
There are several recording options and other settings that should be understood and checked before you begin recording.
Setting the Record Speed
The Record Speed determines the quality of your recordings as well as the maximum amount of video you can record on a disc. Not surprisingly, the higher the quality, the less video can be recorded.

Setting the Auto Chapter Option
You can set the recorder to automatically add a "chapter marker" every 5 minutes during your recordings. During playback, this will allow you to skip forward or back in 5 minute intervals by using the NEXT/PREVIOUS keys on the remote. These chapter markers are compatible with most standard DVD Players as well.
You can also add chapter markers manually. This procedure is covered in EDITING YOUR RECORDINGS.
