Timer Recording

Before Recording

Before you start recording...
• Check that the disc has enough available
space for the recording (page 29). For
DVD+RWs and DVD-RWs, you can free
up disc space by erasing titles (page 56).
• Adjust the recording picture quality and
picture size if necessary (page 40).
z Hint
Timer recordings will be made regardless whether
or not the recorder is turned on. You can turn off the
recorder without affecting the recording even after
recording starts.
b
Note
To play a recorded disc on other DVD equipment,
finalise the disc (page 32).

Recording mode

Like the standard ×3 recording modes of
video tapes, you can select the desired
recording mode using the REC MODE
button.
Recording modes with higher quality provide
a more beautiful recording, but the large data
volume also results in a shorter recording
time.
Conversely, a longer duration provides a
longer recording time, but the lower data
volume results in a coarser picture quality.
Press REC MODE repeatedly to switch the
recording modes.
