Recording Quality
You can record discs using five different quality levels. The higher the quality level, the
more space (time) will be taken up on your disc. Press
QUALITY
on your remote to
change the quality settings.
HQ (High Quality):
The best picture quality
60 min. / 1 hour
SP (Standard Play):
Excellent (DVD video) picture quality
120 min. / 2 hours
LP (Long Play):
Good (S-VHS) picture quality
180 min. / 3 hours
EP: (Extended Play):
Better than VHS quality
240 min. / 4 hours
SLP: (Super Long Play): VHS picture quality
360 min. / 6 hours
Recording times are estimates, actual recording times may vary. Please note that if your
source video is of low quality, then your final recording will be of low quality even if
you select a higher quality recording level. Recording over previously recorded discs may
also decrease the quality level.

Troubleshooting Scheduled Recordings
Your DVD recorder will not be able to perform the scheduled recording if:
1. No
disc
loaded.
2. The disc is write-protected.
3. The disc is not the correct format (DVD+R or DVD+RW).
4. The disc already contains 49 titles. This is the maximum number of titles that can
be recorded to a single disc.
5. Another recording is in progress.
6. The DVD recorder’s Time and Date is not set properly.
7. The time set for your recording is in the past.
8. The 8 memory slots for setting recordings are already filled.
9. There is no signal from the selected input source (it may be connected incorrectly or
turned off).
The DVD recorder will not be able to tell if a disc is damaged. Even if the recording
seems to be working, you may not be able to play back the disc if it has been scratched,
smeared, or otherwise damaged.
