Recording Speed on the HDD deck

This recorder has a 80 Gbyte hard disk drive. The pictures and sounds recorded on the HDD deck and other information are written down on the hard disk drive.

As recording format for the HDD deck, MPEG2 format, the same for DVD, is used. 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, the better the picture quality is but the more capacity is required for recording. Select SP for programmes where quick movement occurs, such as sports programmes, and SEP for talk shows, etc. where relativity less movement.

The recording speeds of the recorder are set as follows:
