Recording Settings

Recording Quality. You can increase the available recording time on your Recorder by selecting a recording quality appropriate for the type of program you are recording. The Recorder offers four levels of recording quality; set your default on this screen. The choice you make here will be used for all recordings unless you change it, using Recording Options, when you schedule a recording (for details, see page 43). Two different recording qualities cannot be used on one recording.

The recording quality choices available are Best, High, Medium, and Basic. The factory default is High. Basic quality takes up about one-third the space of Best quality, so it gives you about three times the amount of space for programs. You may wish to experiment with different levels and then reset your default. Some quality settings are better suited for certain kinds of programs, but you should choose what looks best to you.

Recording Quality	Suggested use

Basic	News

Medium	Daytime Talk Shows, Animation

High	Dramas, Films

Best	Sports, Action Movies

The Recorder automatically uses Best Quality when displaying live TV. However, when it records a program, the Recorder uses the Video Recording Quality you specified for that program. If that quality is not Best, you may notice the difference when recording starts.

hours of Medium Quality, and 1.5 hours of
