Recording

In AUTO mode, the most suitable record mode is chosen

Recording mode (DVD)

 

AUTO : Select when you want the video quality adjusted automatically.

 

according to the remaining time on the disc and length of the

 

timer recording. You can select only one mode from XP, SP,

 

LP and EP for timer recording.

 

XP (high quality) : Select when audio and video qualities are important. (Approx. 1 hour)

SP (standard quality) : Select to record in standard quality. (Approx. 2 hours)

LP (low quality) : Select when a long recording time is required. (Approx. 4 hours)

EP (extended mode) : Select when a longer recording time is required. (Approx.6 hours at 1.2 Mbps or Approx.8 hours at 0.8 Mbps )

When you are recording in EP mode on a DVD-RW(V)/-R disc, it may not record for the full 6 or 8 hours because the unit uses the VBR(Variable Bit Rate) ENCODING system.

For example, if you record a program with a lot of action, it uses a higher bit rate which in turn consumes more disc memory.
