Recording quality and time
You can set the quality of the recording. The table below shows the
relationship between quality and recording time:
Quality
Time
HQ – Very high quality
60 minutes on a
4.7 GB blank DVD
SP – High quality
120 minutes on a
4.7 GB blank DVD
SP+ – Good quality
150 minutes on a
4.7 GB blank DVD
LP
– S-VHS picture quality
180 minutes on a
4.7 GB blank DVD
EP – Better than VHS picture quality
240 minutes on a
4.7 GB blank DVD
SLP – VHS picture quality
360 minutes on a
4.7 GB blank DVD
SEP – Longest recording time
480 minutes on a
4.7 GB blank DVD
The quality and recording time are interdependent. The better the
quality, the more memory the recording requires. This means that
the recording time is shorter in high quality mode than in standard
quality mode.
Note:
The recording quality (HQ, SP, SP+, LP, EP, SLP or SEP) is
selected automatically during playback.
