DV mode

Supports only HDD recording. Records in the same format as a DV camcorder.

XP/SP mode

Recommended for recording sports programmes and other fast-action programmes.

LP mode

Recommended for recording dramas and other slow- action programmes with little contrast.

EP/FR480 mode

Recommended when there is no spare recordable time (disc remaining time), or for programmes with clear outlines like in animations.

FR (Free Rate) Mode

0The numbers of the FR mode represent the recordable time (in minutes, estimated) in a DVD disc.

0FR60 - FR360 can be set by 5-minute intervals, then follow by FR420 and FR480. FR60 is almost equivalent to XP in terms of image quality; the same goes for FR120 to SP, FR240 to LP, and FR360 to EP.

0It may not be possible to play back discs recorded in FR420 or FR480 mode on other units.

0FR mode can also be set for HDD. (AJUSTB cannot be set.)
