Note that the recorder must be connected to your TV using a SCART cable to be able to use this feature.

Setting the picture quality/ recording time

Before starting a recording, you will usually want to set the picture quality/recording time. There are six standard settings available, which allow you to choose a balance between picture quality and recording time.

When Manual Recording is set to On (see Manual Recording on page 139), a further option will be available (MN1 to MN32 or LPCM, depending on what you set).

When recording to DVD+R/+RW, SLP is the longest recording time available. If you select SEP or MN1 to MN3, the recording mode will automatically revert to SLP.

SHIFT REC MODE

• + Press repeatedly to select the recording quality.

•XP – High quality setting, gives about one hour of recording time on a DVD disc.

•SP (Standard Play) – Default quality, used for most applications, gives about two hours of recording time on a DVD.

•LP (Long Play) – Lower video quality than SP, but doubles the recording time on a DVD to about four hours.

•EP (Extended Play) – Lower quality than LP, but gives about six hours of recording time on a DVD disc.

•SLP (Super Long Play) – Lower quality than EP, but gives about eight hours of recording time on a DVD disc.

•SEP (Super Extended Play) – Lowest video quality but gives about ten hours of recording time on a DVD disc.

•MN1 to MN32 / LPCM1 – Manual / Linear PCM (available only when manual recording is on)

The setting is indicated in the front panel display, and shown on-screen together with the recording time for a blank recordable disc. If a recordable disc is loaded, the approximate remaining recording time for that disc is also shown. (Note that if the On Screen Display setting (see On Screen Display on page 143) is Off then this information is not displayed.)
