Recording Speed

MPEG2 format is used as recording format. As a guide for picture quality, the “bps” unit is used to represent how much data can be recorded per second. The larger this value is, the better the picture quality becomes but more capacity is required for the recording. Select XP or SP for programmes where quick movement occurs, such as sports programmes, and LP or EP for talk shows, etc. with relatively less movement.

The recording speeds for a 4.7 GB disc are set as follows:

Recording	Recording amount	Maximum recording
speed	(approx.)	time (approx.)
XP	10 Mbps	1 hour
SP	5 Mbps	2 hours
LP	2 Mbps	4 hours
EP	1.6 Mbps	6 hours
FR60–FR360	The amount varies	1 – 6 hours
( pg. 55)	depending on the
	selected time.
FR420		7 hours
FR480		8 hours

Instant Timer Recording (ITR)

This easy method lets you record for from 30 minutes to 6 hours (selectable in 30-min. increments), and shuts the unit off after recording is finished.

1Start recording.

Press 7 on the unit.

2Engage the ITR mode.

Press 7 again. On the front display panel, “0:30” appears.

3Set the recording duration.

If you want to record for more than 30 minutes, press 7 to extend the time. Each press extends recording time by 30 minutes.

NOTES:

●You can only perform ITR using the 7 button on the unit’s front panel.

●If “DIRECT REC” is set to “ON” in the menu, Instant Timer Recording (ITR) function does not work. ( pg. 92)

Watch Another Programme While Recording on the Unit

While recording is going on, you can watch another programme on the TV by using the TV’s tuner. It is required that the remote control is set to be able to operate the TV in advance.
