≥If there is no space left on the recording drive, you will need to

erase unwanted programs (in the case of HDD and DVD-RAM) or

use a new disc (➜ “Erase Program”, page 40).

≥You cannot change the channel or recording mode during record-

ing. You can change them while recording is paused, but the mate-

rial is recorded as a separate program.

≥You can record up to 250 programs on HDD, 99 on one disc.

(1 program may be recorded continuously for a maximum of 6 hours).

≥When using a DVD-RAM for the first time with this unit, format it to

ensure accurate recording (➜“Format”, page 38).

≥There are limitations when recording to DVD-R (➜page 8).

≥When recording MTS sound onto DVD-R or recording using

LPCM, only one of either the main channel or the sub channel can

be recorded. Select at “Select MTS for DVD-R or LPCM”

(➜page 61).

∫ Recording modes and approximate recording

times in hours

≥FR (Flexible Recording Mode) can be set when using timer

recording or when dubbing.

–When carrying out timer recording or flexible recording to

HDD.

FR automatically adjusts the recording mode to enable the pro-

gram to fit exactly into the space of an unused DVD-RAM/R (4.7

GB).

–When carrying out timer recording or flexible recording to

DVD-RAM/R.

FR compares the length of the program to be recorded with the

available space on the disc. Based on this, it automatically

selects the recording mode that will fit the program most accu-

rately into the remaining space while maintaining the best possi-

ble picture quality. For example, when recording a 90-minute

program onto a new DVD-RAM disc, FR automatically selects a

recording rate between “XP” and “SP”.

–When dubbing

The unit automatically adjusts the recording mode during dub-

bing so that the program fits into the space available while main-

taining as closely as possible the original picture quality.

≥If there are still pictures stored in the selected drive, recording

times may vary from those given in the table above.

∫ Recording/Dubbing/Transferring of a program

This unit incorporates copyright protection technology for recording

equipment known as CPRM (➜page 66). With some programs

recording, dubbing and/or transferring may not be possible.

Transfer: this is when a program is moved to another storage

media. The original program will be erased.

Subsequent to page 20, reference is made to steps 1-3 only

where necessary.

You can record while the unit is on standby for timer recording,

but once the time for the timer recording to begin is reached,

any recording taking place will stop and the timer recording will

begin.

e.g.,when you select “XP”
