∫ Regarding recording time remaining
≥DR mode
Remaining time in the DR mode is calculated with a bit rate of approx. 14 Mbps. But the bit rate differs depending on the
broadcast, so the displayed remaining time might be different from the actual remaining time.
≥Other recording modes
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.
