Free Rate Function
To record the entire programme, the unit automatically set the
appropriate recording speed depending on the combination of
the total time of the programme to be recorded and either the
remaining disc space or the specified recording time (from 60
minutes to 360 minutes).

To record the entire programme within the actual

remaining disc space

Select “FR (JUST)” in a recording speed selection procedure.
(墌pg.57, 59)
●Note that this function is available only for timer programming
recording.

To record the entire programme by specifying the

desired recording time

Select “FR60–FR360” in a recording speed selection procedure.
(墌pg.53, 57, 59)

To record a 25-min. long daily programme five times just

on a same disc for example

Perform “VIDEO Plus+® Timer Programming” (墌pg.56)
procedure. Be sure to set the recording speed to “FR125” and set
Weekly/Daily Rec Function to “MON–FRI” in stepE to fit the
total recording time to the whole disc space.
When the same programme is recorded in SP mode instead of in
“FR125”, the 5th programme cannot be recorded.
NOTES:
●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, and 180 minutes in EP 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 EP mode. When timer-programming a
long programme in FR (JUST) mode on a disc whose
remaining time is short, it is recommended checking the disc
remaining time in EP 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.
Receiving Stereo and Bilingual Programmes
Your unit is equipped with a Digital stereo sound decoder
(NICAM) making reception of stereo and bilingual broadcasts
possible.
When the channel is changed, the type of broadcast being
received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.
NOTES:
●“SUPERIMPOSE” must be set to “ON” or “AUTO”. Otherwise
the on-screen displays will not appear. (墌pg.95)
●If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the
broadcast might be received in monaural with better quality.
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 “NICAM1/MAIN”, “NICAM 2/SUB”,
“MONO”) to be recorded on the disc. (墌pg. 94)
NOTE:
Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a
bilingual programme, refer to “Audio Channel Selection” on
page36.
