This unit uses variable bit rate (VBR) recording which varies the
amount of data recorded to suit the images, so actual recording
times and remaining recording times shown by the unit will be
different. (The difference will be especially noticeable with DVD-
R DL and +R DL.)
Use a disc with plenty of remaining time to be sure.

Recording mode
SP: You can record the length shown on the tape.
EP: 3 times the length of SP mode.
VP: 5 times the length of SP mode.
≥To have a longer recording capacity, select "EP" or "VP".
≥If the image quality is important to you or if you wish to store the
tape for a long period, select "SP".
≥The unit can play tapes recorded in LP mode on other equipment
("LP" lights on the unit's display).
DVD-R
VP mode:
≥A tape recorded in VP mode by the unit cannot be played
back by other VCRs. It is recommended to distinguish it from
other tapes by writing "VP" on the tape label, etc.
≥It takes more time for automatic tracking to work when playing
1 hour
tapes recorded with VP mode, and it may not work at all with
some tapes. Do tracking manually if this is the case (l 35).
Note
You cannot play VP recording on other equipment.
