NOTES:
● It is recommended to format a DVD-RAM disc before use if
you use the disc on this unit for the first time.
● When using a brand-new DVD-RW disc, format the disc
either in VR mode or in Video mode. (੬ pg. 78)
● Recordings made on DVD-R/RW disc must be finalized to
play back on other DVD players. Perform “Finalize A Disc
(DVD Deck Only)” (੬ pg. 79).
● You can record up to 99 programs and 999 play lists on each
disc.
● Some programs can only be recorded one time.
● When recording is started, an index of the first part of
recording is automatically recorded. (
੬ pg. 62) To record
satellite programs, refer to page 36. To delete the index, refer
to page 64.
● Recording sometimes may stop or cannot be performed even
if there is enough available capacity remaining on the disc.
Recording Mode
MPEG2 format is used as recording format. As a guide for picture
quality, the “bps” unit is used to represent how much data can be
recorded per second. The larger this value is, the better the picture
quality becomes but more capacity is required for the recording.
Select XP or SP for programs where quick movement occurs, such
as sports programs, and LP or EP for talk shows, etc. with
relatively less movement.
The recording modes for a 4.7 GB disc are set as follows:
* For details on FR mode, refer to “Free Rate Function” (੬ pg. 60)
Recording Resume Function
If there is a power outage during recording, Instant Timer
Recording (ITR) (
੬ pg. 59) or timer recording (੬ pg. 31,
32), the recording will resume automatically when power is
restored to the unit unless the unit’s memory backup has
expired.
