SLP
(Super-Long Play) – Use when maximum
recording time is most important; SLP gives you
around eight hours of recording time on a DVD disc.
In addition to these settings, you can access 32 different
recording quality/time settings when manual recording
mode is on (see
Manual Recording
on page 117), giving
you precise control over the recording.
When setting a timer recording there is a further option,
AUTO
, which maximizes the recording quality for the
space available on the disc loaded at the time of
recording. (If recording to the HDD, the recording quality
is maximized to fit on to a DVD disc.)
The maximum continous recording time is eight hours
(one title) for both DVD and HDD recording. For a non-
timer recording, recording will automatically stop after
eight hours.
In all except the
FINE
/
MN32
modes, sound is recorded in
two channel Dolby Digital format. When set to
FINE
/
MN32
, sound is recorded in high quality, uncompressed
Linear PCM format.
If the broadcast audio is bilingual and you are recording
in Video mode or to the HDD, or in VR mode on the
FINE
/
MN32
setting, use the Bilingual Recording setting
(page 114) to select the
A/L
or
B/R
audio channel to
record before recording starts.
• Although this recorder can record PAL, SECAM,
NTSC and PAL-60, you can’t mix multiple TV line
systems on one disc. A disc can contain PAL and
SECAM recordings, or NTSC and PAL-60. See also
Input Line System
on page 108.
Restrictions on video recording
• You cannot record copy-protected video using this
recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video
discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-
protected material is encountered during a
recording, recording will pause automatically and an
error message will be displayed on-screen.
• Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded on
the HDD or a DVD-RW disc in VR mode (see below).
• When recording a TV broadcast or through an
external input, you can display copy control
information on screen. (see
Displaying disc
information on-screen
on page 37).
CPRM
CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system
regarding the recording of ‘copy once’ broadcast
programs. CPRM stands for
Content Protection for
Recordable Media
.
This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that
you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you
cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM
recordings can only be made on CPRM-compatible DVD-
RW (ver. 1.1 or higher) discs formatted in VR mode or on
the HDD.
DVD CPRM recordings can only be played on players that
are specifically compatible with CPRM.

copying and you are advised to check carefully what is
lawful copying in the country in which you are making a
copy. Copying of copyright material such as films or

Setting the picture quality/recording
time
Before starting a recording, you will usually want to set
the picture quality/recording time. There are five
standard settings available, which allow you to choose a
balance between picture quality and recording time.
It’s also possible to create a sixth, ‘manual’ setting for
picture quality/recording time. Before you can select this,
however, you will need to set the
Manual Recording
option in the Initial Settings menu (see
Manual Recording
on page 117).
