Programming a recording (REC MENU) (Continued)

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.

•It is not possible to record the same contents onto both the HDD and a DVD-RAM/RW/R disc simultaneously.

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

•Playback of the DVD drive pauses when a programmed recording onto the HDD starts.

•Confirm the “DVD compatible mode” ( page 162) 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 162) to the desired recording sound for each timer program.

Edit title name

Enter a name for the timer program.

Use the input screen to enter a name ( page 30).

PDC on

Perform the programme PDC recording.

PDC (Programme Delivery Control System)

Programme PDC is a system of telling the recorder when a programme actually starts. Typically, when you want to record a programme you will tell the recorder to start recording, probably, five minutes before the advertized starting time of the programme and to finish ten minutes or so after the programme is due to finish. So even if the programme starts early or finishes late you will normally still get to see what you wanted to record. However when live programmes over-run or the day’s television schedule is changed from that advertized, you may miss the desired programme

which may have been delayed or even cancelled and the recorder will record the programme even if it is two or more hours late. With PDC, you enter the exact start time and the recorder will wait until the signal is sent to confirm the programme is starting and the recorder will record the programme even if it is two or more hours late.

PDC off

Perform the normal programmed recording.

DVD compatible mode

When recording onto a DVD-R/RW disc or recording a content which will be copied to a DVD-R/RW, make this selection ( page 162) for each timer program.

“Off” setting is neglected and regarded as “Main” in DVD-R/RW recording.

Aspect ratio(Video mode)

Select the aspect ratio when recording onto a DVD-R/RW disc. ( page 162)

High rate save

Use this feature when you want to save space while using the best picture quality rate for recording. This will use 9.2 Mbps for recording and reduce the rate temporarily for the portion where the high rate is not required where picture is fairly constant.

Off : This feature is disabled and the normal recording is performed.

On : This feature is enabled.

Notes

•When the audio quality is set to “L-PCM”, the picture quality is set to “Manual 8.0 Mbps”. When the audio quality is set to any other selection, the picture quality is set to “Manual 9.2 Mbps”.

•While this is set to “On,” you cannot change the mode or rate.

•The space used may not change, depending on the picture contents.
