If you turn off the recorder during recording, recording is stopped.

Recording stereo and bilingual programmes

The recorder automatically receives and records stereo and bilingual programmes based on the ZWEITON system or the NICAM system.

The HDD (when “HDD Recording Format” is set to “Video Mode Off” in the “Recording” setup (page 128)) and a DVD- RW (VR mode) or DVD-R (VR mode) can record both main and sub sounds. You can switch between main and sub when playing the disc.

The HDD (when “HDD Recording Format” is set to “Video Mode On” in the “Recording” setup (page 128)) and a DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-RW (Video mode), or DVD-R (Video mode) can record only one sound track (main or sub) at a time.

Before recording starts, set “Bilingual Recording” to “A/L” (default) or “B/R” in the “Audio In” setup (page 124).

About HDD Recording format, see page 128.

ZWEITON (German stereo) system

When a stereo-based programme is received, “Stereo” appears.

When a bilingual ZWEITON-based programme is received, “L,” “R,” or “L+R” appears.

NICAM system

To record a NICAM programme, be sure to set “NICAM Select” to “NICAM” (default) in the “Audio In” setup. If the sound is not clear when listening to NICAM broadcasts, set “NICAM Select” to “Standard”

(page 123).

Creating chapters in a title

The recorder can automatically divide a recording (a title) into chapters by inserting chapter marks. To select chapter mark intervals or disable this function, see “Auto Chapter (HDD/VR),” “Auto Chapter (Video),” or “Auto Chapter (DVD+R/ +RW)” in the “Recording” setup (page 127). When recording to the HDD, a DVD-R (VR mode) or a DVD-RW (VR mode), you can edit chapter marks (page 78).
