Timer Recording
Before Recording
Before you start recording...
• This recorder can record on various discs. Select
the disc type according to your needs (page 10).
• Check that the disc has enough available space
for the recording (page 29). For HDD,
DVD+RWs, and DVD-RWs, you can free up
disc space by erasing titles (page 76).
• Adjust the recording picture quality and picture
size if necessary (page 53).
z Hint
Timer recordings will be made regardless whether or not
the recorder is turned on. You can turn off the recorder
without affecting the recording even after recording
starts.
b
Notes
• If any digital teletext is operated while recording, it's
contents will be recorded on the disc.
• If the subtitles are displayed while recording, they will
be recorded on the disc.
• To play a recorded disc on other DVD equipment,
finalise the disc (page 39).
Recording mode
Like the SP or LP recording mode of VCRs, this
recorder has eight different recording modes.
Select a recording mode according to the time and
picture quality you need. For example, if picture
quality is your top priority, select the High Quality
mode (HQ). If recording time is your priority,
Super Extended Play mode (SEP) can be a
possible choice. Note that recording times in the
following table are approximate and the actual
times may differ. Note also that the maximum
continuous recording time for a single title is eight
hours. Contents beyond this time will not be
recorded.
Press REC MODE repeatedly to switch the
recording modes.
