Dubbing Mode
Like the standard ×3 recording modes of video tapes, you can select the desired recording mode using the REC MODE button.
Recording modes with higher quality provide a more beautiful recording, but the large data volume also results in a shorter recording time.
Conversely, a longer duration provides a longer recording time, but the lower data volume results in a coarser picture quality.
To select further options for recording mode (manual recording mode), set “Manual Rec. Mode” to “On (go to setup)” in the “Recording” setup (page 127). To record pictures in higher quality than HQ mode on the HDD, set “Manual Rec. Mode” to “On (go to setup),” and then select “HQ+.” The table on the following pages shows the approximate recording times for the HDD and the different DVD types in each manual recording mode, as well as the standard recording mode equivalents.
zHint
To easily select a manual recording mode, press REC MODE repeatedly to display “MN,” and select a manual recording mode using </,.
