Suggestions for the picture quality setting

•For normal recording or when you cannot decide which mode to choose. Select “SP”.

•When you need a longer recording time and video quality is not important Select “EP”.

•To record a high quality picture Select “XP”.

•To fill the disc

Select “AT (Auto).” A bit rate is calculated automatically according to the remaining volume of the disc. Some contents may not be recorded on the disc even if you select this function. This is not the function to make full use of the remaining space capacity.

Notes

•The disc tray does not close automatically, even when the recording start time arrives. Set the recorder loaded an available DVD-RAM/R/RW disc beforehand.

•When there is little time before a programmed recording starts, you may not be able to start another recording.

•Playback pauses when a programmed recording starts.

•Do not change the “TV/Cable” selection of the Initial settings while a recording is programmed. If you want to change it, cancel the program recording. After then, make the programing again if necessary.

•Confirm the “DVD compatible mode” ( page 33) setting. “Main” or “SAP” records main sound or sub-sound of multiplex broadcasts respectively, and does not record the other. Therefore, select “Main” or “SAP” only when you record onto a DVD- R/RW disc.

•When recording onto a DVD-R/RW disc, set “DVD compatible mode” ( page 33) to the desired recording sound for each timer program.
