Notes
• The maximum continuous recording time to the
HDD is 12 hours for a single title. A title longer
than 12 hours is divided.
• Situations below may cause slight inaccuracies
with the recording time.
– Recording a programme with poor reception, or
a programme or video source of low picture
quality.
– Recording on a disc that has already been
edited.
– Recording only a still picture or just sound.
• Programmes are recorded in the following aspect
ratio.
– In the original aspect ratio, when recording to
the HDD (when "HDD Recording Format" is
set to "Video Mode Off" in the "Recording"
setup (page 122))/DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs (VR
mode).
– In 4:3, when recording to DVD+RWs/
DVD+Rs.
• When recording to DVD-R DLs (Video mode),
the title is divided when the layer switches.
Recording stereo and bilingual
programmes
The recorder automatically receives and
records stereo and bilingual programmes
based on the ZWEITON system or the
NICAM system.
The HDD (when "HDD Recording Format"
is set to "Video Mode Off" in the
"Recording" setup (page 122)) and a DVD-
RW (VR mode) and DVD-R (VR mode) can
record both main and sub sounds. You can
switch between main and sub when playing
the disc.
The HDD (when "HDD Recording Format"
is set to "Video Mode On" in the "Recording"
setup (page 122)) and a DVD+RW, DVD+R,
DVD-RW (Video mode), or DVD-R (Video
mode) can record only one sound track (main
or sub) at a time. Select the sound track in the
"Audio In" setup before recording starts. Set
www
"Bilingual Recording" to "A/L" (default) or
"B/R" in the "Audio In" setup (page 116).
About HDD Recording format, see page 122.

ZWEITON (German stereo) system
When a stereo-based programme is received,
"Stereo" appears.
When a bilingual ZWEITON-based
programme is received, "L," "R," or "L+R"
appears.
NICAM system
To record a NICAM programme, be sure to
set "NICAM Select" to "NICAM" (default)
in the "Audio In" setup. If the sound is not
clear when listening to NICAM broadcasts,
set "NICAM Select" to "Standard"
(page 116).
z Hint
You can select the audio (main or sub) while
recording bilingual programmes using the AUDIO
button. This does not affect the recorded sound.

Timer Recording

Before Recording

Before you start recording...
• Check that the disc has enough available
space for the recording (page 35). For the
HDD, DVD+RWs, and DVD-RWs, you
can free up disc space by erasing titles
(page 72).
• Adjust the recording picture quality if
necessary (page 56).
b
Note
To play a recorded disc on other DVD equipment,
finalise the disc (page 40).
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.
To select further options for recording mode
(manual recording mode), set "Manual Rec.
Mode" to "On (go to setup)" in the
"Recording" setup (page 119). To record
pictures in higher quality than HQ mode on
the HDD, set "Manual Rec. Mode" to "On
(go to setup)," and then select "HQ+." For
details about manual recording mode, see
page 119.
For timer recording, you can also select
"AUTO" as recording mode, which
maximizes the recording quality for the space
available on the disc (if recording to DVD),
or to fit onto a blank disc (if recording to
HDD).
