On the default setting, if a timer program (standard, easy
or VCR Plus+ programming system) is set but there isn't
enough space on the disc at the recording quality set, the
recording will start, but it will be cut off when the disc is
full. Set Optimized Rec to On to have the recorder
automatically adjust the recording quality to fit the
available disc space.
Note
• You may notice a reduction in picture quality if the
recorder has to fit a lot of extra material into the
remaining time available on the disc.
• If, even on recording level MN 1, there is insufficient
space available on the disc, the recording is made at
level MN 1 but recording will stop once the disc is
full.
• Optimized Recording only compensates for the first
(earliest starting) timer program if more than one has
been set.
