You cannot record on the hard disk and on a DVD at the same time. The internal hard disk saves up to 443 hours of your recordings when set to [EP ( 8 Hours )]. HDD Longer recordings are divided into 8-hour segments.

Remaining recording time on the hard disk

This unit records with a data compression system (VBR - Variable bit rate). The length of the programmed recording is adjusted variably to the video data being recorded.
