• The recording time is only an estimate. The actual
recording time may differ.
• The audio and video quality gets poorer as the recording
time becomes longer.
• Each time [REC MODE] is pressed, recording mode and
its allowed recording time will be displayed.
Note
• This unit cannot record to CD-RW or CD-R.
• All high definition pictures will be down converted to
the standard definition pictures when they are
recorded on this unit.
• DVD+RW/+R, DVD-RW/-R and CD-RW/-R recorded on
a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may
not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or
if there is condensation on the player's lens.
• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even
if it is recorded in a compatible format it may not be
played back because of the settings of the
application software used to create the disc. (Check
with the software publisher for more detailed
information.)
• Since the recording is made by the VBR (variable bit
rate) method, depending on the picture you are
recording, the actual remaining time for recording
may be a little shorter than the remaining time
displayed on the TV screen.
• You cannot record copy-protected program using
this unit. (Copy-protected signal is included in DVD-
video or some satellite broadcasts.)
• You cannot record "copy-once only" program on
