Recording Features
Recording Speed
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 programmes where quick
movement occurs, such as sports programmes, and LP or EP for
talk shows, etc. with relatively less movement.
The recording speeds for a 4.7 GB disc are set as follows:
Instant Timer Recording (ITR)
This easy method lets you record for from 30 minutes to 6 hours
(selectable in 30-min. increments), and shuts the unit off after
recording is finished.
