Before you start recording a broadcast or editing a title, check the remaining/total disk space using the HDD Usage information display. See page 16.
To free up disk space you can either delete titles, (see “Erasing a Title/Scene” on page 37) or compress titles to maximise storage space.
This recorder allows you to increase the capacity of the hard disk by selecting the recording mode at the time you set a timer recording. See “Timer Recording (Standard/TV Guide)” on page 26 to chose the compression mode according to the required time, disk space and picture quality.
This section explains how to compress titles once the recording has been made.

The compression process takes approximately 4 hours for each hour of programming when the hard disk recorder is in standby mode.
