The recording time is only an estimate. The actual recording time may differ.

The audio and video quality gets poorer as the recording time becomes longer.

Each time [REC MODE] is pressed, recording mode and its allowed recording time will be displayed.

About HDD

HDD is a special device which has high recording density and is suited for long-time recording or high-speed cueing but by contrast, has many factors which can cause breakage. Use HDD on the premise that you should dub the recorded programs to a DVD to protect your precious videos.

HDD is a temporary storage location:

HDD is not a permanent storage location of the recorded contents. Be sure to use it as a temporary storage location until you watch the programs once, edit them, or dub them to a DVD.

Be sure to dub (back up) data promptly if you find abnormalities in HDD:

If there is mechanical trouble with the HDD, grinding or other sounds may be heard or blocky noise may appear on the image. If you continue to use as it is, deterioration may continue and eventually the HDD may not be used at all. If you notice these symptoms of a failing HDD, promptly dub the data to a DVD. When an HDD fails, recovery of recorded content (data) may be impossible.

About the remaining capacity of HDD recording time:

The on-screen indication of the possible recording time left on HDD / DVD may differ from the actual recordable time as this unit employs the variable bit rate encoding system which varies the recording (storage) amount of data in conformity with the amount of information on the video.

Before recording to the HDD, ensure there is sufficient space on the HDD by deleting unnecessary titles in advance.

Introduction Connections Basic Setup Recording Playback

Note

This unit cannot record to CD-RW or CD-R.

All high definition pictures will be down converted to the standard definition pictures when they are recorded on this unit.

DVD+RW/+R, DVD-RW/-R and CD-RW/-R recorded on a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or if there is condensation on the player’s lens.

If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format it may not be played back because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

Since the recording is made by the VBR (variable bit rate) method, depending on the picture you are recording, the actual remaining time for recording may be a little shorter than the remaining time displayed on the TV screen.

You cannot record copy-protected program using this unit. (Copy-protected signal is included in DVD- video or some satellite broadcasts.)

You cannot record “copy-once only” program on DVD.
