Recording
Before Recording
Before you start recording…
• This recorder can record on various disc types.
Select the disc type according to your needs
(page 12).
• Check that the disc has enough available space
for the recording (page 46). For DVD+RWs or
DVD-RWs, you can free up disc space by
erasing titles (page 58).
z
Hint
To play a disc recorded with this recorder on other
equipment, finalize the disc (page 69).
Notes
• Timer recordings will start with or without the recorder
turned on. The recorder automatically turns off after a
recording has finished.
• This recorder records at ×1 speed.
Recording mode
Like the SP or EP recording mode of VCRs, this
recorder has eight different recording modes.
Select a recording mode according to the time and
picture quality you need. For example, if picture
quality is your top priority, select “HQ” (high
quality). If recording time is your priority, “SLP”
can be a possible choice.
Press REC MODE repeatedly to switch the
recording modes.
Recording mode and recording time
The following table is an approximate guide for
the recording time on a single DVD (4.7 GB).
z
Hint
The approximate recording time for DVD+R DL
(Double Layer) discs is as follows:
HQ: 1 hour 48 minutes
HSP: 2 hours 42 minutes
SP: 3 hours 37 minutes
LSP: 4 hours 31 minutes
ESP: 5 hours 25 minutes
LP: 7 hours 14 minutes
EP: 10 hours 51 minutes
SLP: 14 hours 28 minutes
Notes
• When in a recording mode other than HQ, the recorder
compresses the audio/video data before recording.
Since the compression rate needs to decrease for fast-
moving images or if picture noise is present, recorded
data size increases, and available recording time
becomes shorter. When recording such pictures, a
recording mode offering longer recording time is
recommended.
• Situations below may cause slight inaccuracies with
the recording time.
– Recording fast-moving or images containing picture
noise.
– Recording a program with poor reception, or a
program or video source of low picture quality
– Recording on a disc that has already been edited
– Recording only a still picture or just sound
• Since the recording mode for recorded titles is
calculated after sampling the recorded data during
playback, it may be displayed differently from the
mode you selected when recording. However, the
actual recording itself is correctly made in the selected
mode.
I want to record with the
best possible picture
quality, so I’ll select HQ.

Recording a stereo/SAP program
The recorder can receive and record stereo/SAP
programs.
When recording a digital channel, only the
selected audio can be recorded. When recording
with the timer, “Stream 1” is usually recorded
(page 35).
Stereo programs
When a stereo program is received, the
“STEREO” indicator lights up in the front panel
display. If there is noise in the stereo program,
press AUDIO repeatedly until the “MONO”
appears on the TV screen. The sound will be
recorded in monaural but with less noise.
SAP (Second Audio Program)
When a SAP is received, the “SAP” indicator
lights up in the front panel display. To record only
SAP sound, set “Tuner Audio” of “Audio” to
“SAP” in the “Setup” display (page 81).
Unrecordable pictures
Pictures with copy protection cannot be recorded
on this recorder. Recording stops when a copy
guard signal is detected.
* The recorded disc can be played only on CPRM
compatible equipment (page 12).
Formatting a new disc
New, unformatted discs are automatically
formatted when first inserted in the recorder.
For DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, you can select a
recording format (VR mode or Video mode)
according to your needs (page 12).
• Unused DVD-RWs are automatically formatted
according to the setting of “Format DVD-RW”
in “Features” setup (page 84).
• Unused DVD-Rs are automatically formatted in
Video mode. To format in VR mode, change the
recording format using the “Disc Setting”
display (page 68).
Notes
• You cannot mix VR mode and Video mode on the same
DVD-RW or DVD-R.
• You can change the recording format on DVD-RWs by
reformatting (page 68).
• You cannot change the recording format on used DVD-
Rs.
• The recorder records on new DVD-Rs in Video mode
unless you first format the discs in VR mode.
