§1 It is not possible to record or play continuously from one side of a double sided disc to the other.

§2 When “Recording Time in EP Mode” is set to “EP (6H)” in the SETUP menu (55).

The sound quality is better when using “EP (6H)” than when using “EP (8H)”.

FR (Flexible Recording Mode)

You can set FR (Flexible Recording) mode when transferring (dubbing) or programming scheduled recordings.

The unit automatically selects a recording rate between XP and EP (8H) that will enable the recordings to fit in the remaining disc space with the best possible recording quality.

For example with a 90 minute recording to an unused DVD-RAM, the picture quality is adjusted to between “XP” and “SP”.

≥When recording to the HDD, picture quality is automatically adjusted to precisely fit a transferred (dubbed) title on a 4.7 GB disc.

≥All the recording modes from XP to EP appear in the display.
