General Features

The HDD (Hard Disk Drive) & DVD RECORDER allows you to record and play high quality digital video on DVD- RAM/-RW/-R discs or on the HDD. You can also edit digital images on DVD-RAM/-RW/-R discs or HDD.

HDD Recording

You can record up to 208 hours of video (in Extend EP mode) on the internal 120GB (gigabyte) hard disk (HDD). With both recordable DVD and a high-capacity HDD in the same recorder, you have the flexibility to keep recordings on the HDD for quick access anytime, or record to DVD for archiving or playing on other DVD players.

Copy between HDD and DVD

You can copy recordings from the HDD to recordable DVD, or from DVD to the HDD. Usually you can use the high speed copy feature.

You can also choose to copy material at a different recording quality from the original. For example, you might want to copy at XP mode (highest quality) recording on the HDD to SP (standard play) quality on a DVD so that you can fit other recordings on the same disc.

Simultaneous Recording and Playback

Playback and recording for both the DVD and the built-in hard disk drive (HDD) are completely independent. For example you can record a broadcast program to either a recordable DVD or the HDD, while watching another recording you already made on the same DVD or on the HDD.

High quality digital audio and video recording and playback

Record up to 16-hours of video with a double sided 9.4 GB DVD-RAM disc, up to 8-hours of video with a 4.7 GB DVD-RAM/-RW/-R disc, up to 208 hours of video with the HDD, depending on the recording mode.

Selectable Recording Mode

You can set your HDD & DVD RECORDER to one of four different recording speeds, each varying in recording quality and length. EP (6Hr or 8Hr) mode yields the most recording time, LP & SP modes provide less recording time with higher quality recording, XP mode gives you the highest quality recording.

Creating a DVD video title using DVD-RW/-R disc

With the HDD & DVD RECORDER, you can create your own DVD Video titles on 4.7 GB DVD-RW/-R discs.
