Notes
 This unit uses variable bit rate (VBR) recording which varies
the amount of data recorded to suit the picture quality, so actual
recording times and remaining recording times shown by the unit
will be different. ([-R]DL] [+R]DL] The difference will be especially
noticeable.)
Use a disc enough remaining blank space.
 When recording to DVD-RAM using EP (8Hours) mode, play may
not be possible on DVD players, even if they are compatible with
DVD-RAM. In this case use EP (6Hours) mode.
