BASIC OPERATIONS ON DVD DECK

NOTES:

●You can programme this unit to timer record, regardless of the disc remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not enough, it is not possible to record until the end of the timer programme. Check the disc remaining time before performing timer programming.

(Example) If you programmed to timer-record for 60 minutes in SP mode on a 120 minutes 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.

●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 recording onto a DVD-R or DVD-RW (Video mode) disc, it is not possible to switch the audio channel of an external input using this unit. You can either switch the audio channel using the external device or remove the disc and press AUDIO to switch the audio channel.

NOTE:

Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a bilingual programme, refer to AAudio Channel SelectionB (A pg. 31).
