Recording Mode

MPEG2 format is used as recording format. As a guide for picture
quality, the "bps" unit is used to represent how much data can be
recorded per second. The larger this value is, the better the picture
quality becomes but more capacity is required for the recording.
Select XP or SP for programs where quick movement occurs, such
as sports programs, and LP or EP for talk shows, etc. with
relatively less movement.
The recording modes for a 4.7 GB disc are set as follows:
Recording Recording amount
mode (approx.)
XP 9.4 Mbps
