Recording mode
Recordings on the HDD will be carried out in an adjustable recording quality, the so-called recording mode. The higher the quality, the greater the
HDD space required. The recording quality is indicated as M1, M2, M2x, M3, M4, M6, and M8. The number indicates the number of hours that will
fit on a single-layer, 4.7GB DVD+RW or DVD+R. This means that you can store only 1 hour of 'M1' recordings on a DVD+RW/+R, while 8 hours
of 'M8' recordings will fit on the same disc.
This is particularly important when you want to copy recordings from the HDD onto a DVD+RW/+R. The quality of recordings on the HDD
cannot be changed at a later stage.
For example:
A 3-hour movie that was stored on the HDD in recording quality 'M1' will not fit on a DVD+RW/+R (M1=1 hour on a DVD+RW/+R). Only 1
hour of this movie can be copied onto a DVD+RW/+R. If you recorded the same movie in recording mode M3, the entire movie would fit on a
DVD+RW/+R. (M3=3 hours on a DVD+RW/+R).
