About DVD Recording

Notes on Recording
• The recording times shown are not exact because the DVD Recorder+VCR uses variable bit-rate video
compression. This means that the exact recording time will depend on the material being recorded.
• When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception is poor or the picture contains interference, the recording
times may be shorter.
• Discs recorded at high speeds (equal to or greater than 2X) may not be recognized.
• If you record still pictures or audio only, the recording time may be longer.
• The displayed times for recording and time remaining may not always add up to the exact length of the
disc.
• The available recording time may decrease if you heavily edit a disc.
• When using a DVD+R disc, you can keep recording until the disc is full, or until you finalize the disc. Before
you start a recording session, check the amount of recording time left on the disc.
Recording TV Audio Channels
The DVD Recorder+VCR can record one or two channel audio. For TV broadcasts, this usually means mono or
stereo, but some programs are broadcast in bilingual audio channel. You can record either BIL I, BIL II or both.
