Mode

Description

When you want to record high-

quality images.

This is the standard recording

mode.

When you want to record for a long

period of time with slightly lower

image quality.

When you want to place priority on

recording time.

Recording Formats

• There are two recording formats available with this

Recorder: the VR mode and the Video mode.

• The recording format that can be selected may differ

depending on the disc. Refer to the section on Types of
Discs for Recording (page

• Recording in the VR mode and Video mode cannot be

mixed on one disc.

VR (Video Recording) Mode

The VR mode is the basic DVD-RW recording format, and
lets you enjoy the various editing functions available
with this Recorder.

• When a disc has been recorded in the VR mode, it can

be recorded and erased repeatedly. Erasure also allows
the recording time to be increased.

• Recorded discs can only be played back with DVD-RW

compatible DVD players

• “Copy Once” programmes can also be recorded

• Although there are some cases in which the disc must

be finalised, the disc can be recorded and erased
after it has been finalised.

• DVD-RW compatible DVD players have the following

indication.

DVD players with this indication have the function of
being able to play back DVD-RW discs recorded in
the VR mode with a DVD recorder.

When using a DVD-RW Ver.1.1/1.2 disc (CPRM compat-
ible). Recorded programmes cannot be played back
with other DVD players (including DVD-RW players) or
DVD recorders not compatible with CPRM.

Video Mode

This recording format is compatible with commercially
available DVD players and DVD-ROM drives.

• Discs recorded in the Video mode cannot be recorded

repeatedly or their content overwritten.

• When recording in the Video mode, discs can be played

back, additionally recorded and edited only with this
Recorder until they are finalised.

• Discs recorded in the Video mode can be played back

with other DVD players by finalising them after recording.
(However, this does not guarantee that these discs can
be played back on all DVD players.)

• Recordings onto DVD-RW/R discs using the Video mode

employ a new standard approved by the DVD Forum in
2000, and compatibility with this standard is left to the
discretion of the respective DVD player manufacturer.
Consequently, there are some models of DVD players
and DVD-ROM drives that are unable to play back DVD-
RW/R discs. (Consult the maker of your device to
determine whether it supports playback.)

• “Copy Once” programmes cannot be recorded.
• When bilingual broadcast is recorded, only the audio

selected out of Lch and Rch will be recorded.

Recording Time

• The recording mode that can be set varies according to

the recording format. Refer to the table below for the
applicable recording mode. Recordable time is based on
the recording time when using a 4.7 GB disc.

• Since recording capacity varies according to the

recorded material, there may be cases where there is
much more disc space remaining on the disc when
recording is completed.

• Refer to page

about the recordable times when you

choose “MN” (manual) Recording mode.

• Since recording to DVD is performed using VBR (variable

bit rate, refer to the section on VBR Control on page

126

)

with the exception of some recording modes, recording
time varies according to the material to be recorded.

• Recordable time may be shorter than that indicated above in

the case of recording material of poor image quality such as
broadcasts from televisions with poor reception.

• This does not guarantee the length of recording time. Actual

recording time may be shorter than that indicated above
depending on image quality and other aspects.

• The total of recording time and remaining time may not always

agree with the recordable time of the recording mode.

• Block-like images may become conspicuous during scenes

containing rapid movement due to the characteristics of digital
image compression technology.

Disc Remaining Time

VR mode

• Additional recordings can be made as long as there is

available space on the disc. (Additional recordings
can also be made after the disc is finalised.)

• Erasing unnecessary recordings lets you increase the

remaining time on the disc. (The disc can also be
erased after it has been finalised.)

• When a Play List (page

) is created, disc space will

not increase even if portions of titles or titles of Play
List are erased.

Video mode

• Additional recordings can be made with this Recorder

provided there is available space on the disc until the
disc is finalised.

• In case you record on a DVD-RW disc, recordable

time will increase if you erase the last recorded title
unless you finalise the DVD-RW disc.

• In case you record on a DVD-R disc, recordable time

will not increase even if you erase titles (page

(The erase function only hides the title, it does not
actually erase it.)
