appropriate recording mode difficult

Notes
• This unit uses variable bit rate (VBR) recording which varies the
amount of data recorded to suit the images, so actual recording
times and remaining recording times shown by the unit will be
different.
(!iI!m

The difference will be especially noticeable.)
Use a disc with plenty of remaining time to be sure.
• When recording to DVD-RAM using EP (8H) mode, play may not be
possible on DVD players, even if they are compatible with DVD-
RAM. In this case use EP (6H) mode.
-If you select "Flexible Recording" the program will fit on one disc

You can set FR mode when programming scheduled recordings
