Selection Of The Audio Channel To Be Recorded On A Disc

When a programme is recorded on a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc in VR mode, all audio channels of the receiving programme are recorded on the disc. When you record a programme on a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc in video mode, select the desired audio channel (from among “NICAM 1/MAIN”, “NICAM 2/SUB”, “MONO”) to be recorded on the disc. ( pg. 79)

NOTE:

Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a bilingual programme, refer to “Audio Channel Selection” on page 50.

You can programme this unit to timer-record, regardless of the disc remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not enough, recording may stop in the middle of a programme. To avoid this, make sure of the disc remaining time before setting timer programming. (Example) If you programmed to timer-record for 60 minutes in SP mode on a 120-minute disc, the disc remaining time would be 30 minutes in XP mode, 60 minutes in SP mode, 120 minutes in LP mode, 180 minutes in EP mode, and 240 minutes in FR480 mode. Timer-recording will not complete beyond these remaining times.

The maximum recording time of “FR (JUST)” mode is the same as the recording time of FR480 mode. When timer programming a long programme in “FR (JUST)” mode on a disc whose remaining time is short, it is recommended to check the disc remaining time in FR480 mode to see if the remaining time is enough for the programme.

Even if more than one programme are timer programmed in “FR (JUST)” mode, only the first one is recorded.

In order to ensure that the recording fits on the disc, this feature may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of the disc.

There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the disc where the unit switches the mode.
