Programmes Simultaneous Recording - Panasonic DMR-BW500 Operating Instructions Manual

∫ Regarding recording time remaining
This unit records using a VBR (Variable bit rate) data compression system to vary recorded data segments to match video data segments which
may cause differences in the displayed amount of time and space remaining for recording.
If the remaining amount of time is insufficient, delete any unwanted titles to create enough space before you start recording.
≥Remaining time in the DR mode is calculated with a bit rate of 15 Mbps. But the bit rate differs depending on the broadcast, so the displayed
remaining time might be different from the actual remaining time.
∫ Maximum number of titles that can be recorded
[HDD]
≥You can record up to 499 titles on HDD. (When continuously recording for long durations, titles are automatically divided every 8 hours.)
[BD-RE] [BD-R]
≥You can record up to 200 titles on one disc.
[RAM] [-R] [-R]DL] [-RW‹V›]
≥You can record up to 99 titles on one disc.
[+R] [+R]DL] [+RW]
≥You can record up to 49 titles on one disc.
∫ FR (Flexible Recording Mode)
You can set FR (Flexible Recording) mode when copying or programming timer recordings.
The unit automatically selects a recording rate between XP and EP (8 hours) that will enable the recordings to fit in the remaining disc space with
the best possible recording quality.
For example with a 90 minute recording to an unused DVD-RAM, the picture quality is adjusted to between "XP" and "SP".
≥When recording to the HDD, picture quality is automatically adjusted to precisely fit a copied title on a 4.7 GB disc.
