Recording a TV programme (Continued)

Notes

The number of titles cannot exceed 99 for a DVD-RAM/RW/R disc or 396 for the HDD.

One continuous recording cannot exceed in any case 9 hours. Recording automatically stops at 9 hours.

You cannot start recording immediately before a programmed recording starts.

During monaural sound recording, the same sound is recorded on both the left and right channels.

When “Audio” is set to “L-PCM”, multi-channel sound is recorded as stereo sound. When playing this recorded sound, you will hear NICAM Mode I and NICAM Mode II sounds simultaneously. Press the AUDIO button to select a desired sound.

When “DVD compatible mode” is set to “On (Mode I)” or “On (Mode II)”, the unit records the same sounds on both the left and right channels when receiving monaural sound. When receiving the NICAM Mode I/Mode II sound, the selected sound, Mode I or Mode II, is recorded on both the left and right channels.

Depending on the disc condition, pressing the REC button may take a longer time to start recording.

When a starting time of a programmed recording comes, a recording in execution is stopped and the programmed recording starts. If you do not want to stop the recording, cancel the timer program before it starts.

Even if you set “Aspect ratio(video mode)” ( page 28) to “16:9”, images are recorded in 4:3 aspect ratio when using a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc with “Pict.” set to “1.0” (Mbps) or “1.4” (Mbps).
