DVD Recording

Before Recording
Before you start recording...
• This recorder can record on various disc types.
Select the disc type according to your needs
(page 30).
• Check that the disc has enough available space
for the recording (page 40). For DVD+RWs or
DVD-RWs, you can free up disc space by
erasing titles (page 58).
• Check that the recorder is connected to a tuner
such as a cable box or satellite receiver
(page 12). See also the tuner's instruction
manual.
z Hints
• To play a disc recorded with this recorder on other
equipment, finalize the disc (page 66). Note that you
cannot further record or edit on a finalized disc.
• If you set "Auto Finalize" to "On" in the "Features"
setup (page 103), the Auto Finalize function works for
DVD-RWs (Video mode), DVD-Rs (Video mode) and
DVD+Rs after recording. For details, see page 67.
Notes
• Timer recordings will start with or without the recorder
turned on. The recorder automatically turns off after a
recording has finished.

Recording mode and recording time
The following table is an approximate guide for
the recording time on a single DVD (4.7 GB).
Recording mode Approximate
recording time
(minute)
HQ (High quality) 60
R
HSP 90
SP (Standard mode) 120

LSP 150

ESP 180

LP 240

EP 360
SLP (Long duration) 480
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
x ao u163
data size increases, and available recording time
y
becomes shorter. When recording such pictures, a
recording mode offering longer recording time is
recommended.
• Situations below may cause inaccuracies with the
i
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 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.
Recording main and sub sounds
