BASIC RECORDING EN 27

NOTES:

Recording Mode

●It is recommended to format a DVD-RAM disc before use if you use the disc on this unit for the first time.

●When using a brand-new DVD-RW disc, format the disc either in VR mode or in Video mode. ( pg. 89)

●Recordings made on DVD-R/RW disc must be finalised to play back on other DVD players. Perform “Finalise A Disc (DVD Deck Only)” ( pg. 90).

●You can record up to 99 programmes and 999 play lists on each disc.

●Some programmes can only be recorded one time.

●When recording is started, an index of the first part of recording is automatically recorded. ( pg. 65) To record satellite programmes, refer to page 36. To delete the index, refer to page 67.

●Recording sometimes may stop or cannot be performed even if there is enough available capacity remaining on the disc.

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 modes for a 4.7 GB disc are set as follows:
