NOTE
• The disc remaining time display serves as
a rough estimation for gauging remaining
capacity. A disc may have open space
remaining when recording has been
completed. (There are cases in which the
value displayed for "REMAIN" during
recording and that displayed when
recording is stopped will not be the same.)
Guide to Recordable Length
of Time
The recording mode is a setting value for the
image quality. This Recorder provides five
types of recording modes, consisting of four
basic modes of EP, LP, SP and XP, and the
MN mode, in which finer settings can be
selected.
The higher the image quality, the shorter the
recording time becomes. This is because
higher quality images require larger amounts
of data for recording.

• Remaining time for recording differs
according to the recording mode.
• Recordable time might be less than above
figures depending on the programme to be
recorded.
• MN (manual) recording mode setting
allows you to select the picture quality from
among 32 levels on the "REC MODE

under "OTHER SETTINGS" (page 43).
• For details about recording time, see page

Dubbing (Page 58)
• Titles recorded on HDD can be saved by
dubbing them to DVD-RW/R. (You can also
dub from DVD-RW/R to HDD.)
• You can batch dub up to 10 programmes.
• EXACT DUBBING: When dubbing a title
recorded on HDD to DVD, this function
automatically selects the recording mode
based on the amount of remaining time on
the disc, so that the title can be recorded
onto one disc.
